The game is great. How long did it take you to do this?

Its a very nice game frankish, and some good improvements.

I have one critique though. After playing the game I tried to close it with the escape key...wich did not work.. After reading the manual I discovered you had to close it with the right shift key. This is counter intuitive. Most people will try close it with the escape key or the windows X button, and they wont read the manual. Is there no way to enable the X button in Allegro?

You're video card probably only supports 32 bit graphics and not 24 bit. I was running the game in 24 bit mode but I soon realized that this may not work on all systems. The problem has now been fixed so that you can enjoy the game too.

Not very long. It took me about six days to get this far. However, this game is still in the experimental stages so what you are seeing now is only a small glimpse of what the game can become.

You would rather use the X button? Hmm... perhaps I should use it instead of the right shift key. The escape key doesn't seem to function properly on my keyboard and plus it's too far from the control keys but the X button would be fine.

I made some minor improvements to the game. You can now exit using the X button and it is possible to configure the game. Just run setup if you need to do this. The game does install so to install it run install.

Very nice, frankish! I still cannot win, but a nice little game so far.

It is possible to win. This is a game of skill. Practice and you will win!

I finally won!

Some suggestions: Have a health bar for your fly to see how many more hits it can take. Also, the first time I played, it was hard to tell which fly I was. Perhaps one fly could have a blue body, and one could have a black body to tell which was which. I showed my friend this game, and he liked it too. You should consider making this 2 player capable.
