Beam Me Up, Scotty!

There hasn’t really been all that much done to the game over the last week, just a bit of tweaking here and there and a few special effects: The player now teleports in and out of each level, with a nice beam forming, and then disappearing when the player has been dropped in the level […]

Smila has supplied some lovely floor tiles now which help the look even more, its starting to really look the part, and to a lesser extent play the part too.
