Yes, though it only worked on a creature about to kill you. I'm using my
poetic licence in the interpretation and implementation of this conversion.
It's close, damn close... but not exact.

Yes, but it takes some time - and currently the just go poof. I want an
animation to show them 'leaving'.

Speed is a problem. I'll have a think about the possibilities. But really,
you need to learn how to avoid being in a situation where you can get jumped
on. Stay away from creatures.... learn what they do and when they're likely
to jump on you. And keep your finger near the trigger :) You can jump on
the eggs before they hatch... you even get points for that... trick is, be a
bit late and you land on a creature :)

I didn't like the graphic, and I needed some space. So, I'm pretty
heartless.....

Yes, easily. But it is timed so that if you are in an adjacent cube,
getting to a hatching egg is easy... but two away and you have to be
real-quick. I like the timing as it is now. But I'll be listening to all
the feedback, and adjust what I can to give a nice difficulty graduation.
I would like to hear from those notables who have actually released a
cartridge (Bob Colbert, Piero Cavina, Thomas Jentzsch, ?? ) what advice they
would give regarding release. Did you make any of your own cartridges. Did
you release through Hozer... if so, what are your thoughts now its over.
Would you do anything different? What sort of royalty did you get for those
carts made by others.... is piracy a problem? Did you make ANY money....
has it brought you fame and women?
Cheers
