Here’s Pixel’s message on his Desktop page:
“WIP shooting game v.0.8.0.0
The archive doesn’t include a manual. Here’s the basic ‘readme’ info:
* Game is not complete yet
* Five stages in all
* Controls are the arrow keys and Ctrl
* Supports gamepads
Play records are stored in the automatically-created folder ‘play-records’. I’m interested in seeing how players develop from their very first play until they get used to the game. If you could compress and email me all your records (without deleting any), I’d much appreciate it.”
Pixel provides his email address as rochet at nifty.com. (Just as a reminder, he doesn’t speak much English, so I’d recommend keeping any emails short and simple.)
