Dennis, this is the first time I've played the game and it's great. I
actually like it better without the objects at all.
Still undecided on which one I like better if I *had* to pick.
Also, maybe you could move the ball from left side to right side on
alternate levels just for a bit of variety
Anyway, my .02

this game. I went with Thomas' suggestion of having the girders move the
obstacles as they fall and think this works great. I like it better than
having then bounce and change direction when they hit a walkway. Plus that
technique would sort push the game closer to another A8 game named Desmond's
Dungeon :-)

the difficulty switch? Well for one I'm running out of ROM space (typical
excuse). The other is I want to limit the difficulty switches only to player
1. I don't want to overload the player. I already have the left difficulty
switch turning off the girder change direction warning. Would adding the
bounce effect be too much?

changing the walking sound, right Manuel ;-)
