You know, it might not work out given the different level of skill we 
all have but this might be an ideal project for a distributed approach. 
Perhaps you can get a level done and then farm out levels which are 
similar and move on to some of the more challenging levels. Perhaps in a 
larger group we could tackle more of the game. I have to admit that 
Jumpman style games are my favourite.
