Nice game. Like the gfx and retro stylee music.

A couple of suggestions (I only had a quick look, so there may be a way round these):

1. An option for full screen.
2. Orient the direction controls so a single key moves along a line of blocks... if that makes any sense. Basically angle the movement directions at 45 degrees to what they are. This is how all the geometric games used to work and it feels better.

Nice game although when I completed the first level ( I collected all the stuff and killed the red giro's by pressing space when next to them) the game stopped responding and crashed to the desktop.

I'm running it on Vista Home Premium with Latest NVidia drivers.

I had this game for months on my hard drive, nearly a year... good one, nice retro feeling and quite fun.

Actually, I always found it very annoying and confusing even in the zx spectrum era (and it's the major difference I noticed between the original and portal version of Mr Robot, a great old school rpg from Moonpod Games, so I suppose I'm not alone on that one).

Had fun for one level, at the end of which I got a MAV.

I was expecting the slopes to have some sort of gravity/slipping effect on your bot, in a marble madness style.

Fun though provided there is a bit of variety in later levels.
