Humm nice idea... should be feasible!
Actually I was thinking of putting a "game over" text on the final level
screen instead... do you think that would be ok also? Could make for a "game
over screen" without jumping directly to the title... but I like your idea
as well! :)

Yep I was also vaguely thinking about having the fuel level decrease when
you clear a stage, should be feasible with very little effort!
About the score at the bottom, that shold be doable also, even thou you
wouldn't see much movement since the score increases only after the level is
cleared, there's nothing that could possibly make it go up during a
level...!

Ouch thanks! I must've broken it recently...!

I have, just today, and it's my best ever :)
Thanks again for the suggestions and testing!!
