More grafical and audio effects, use more the 3D framework. Make the look of CG more badass than the DOS Version

I was considering using those suggestions so that the player would be forced to be more skillfully on higher difficulties. I have for example gems that spawn in different places on different difficulty levels, forcing the player to go to greater lengths to get them. The different player spawning points are similar, on easy you start halfway through the level, on hard you have to solve a maze before you can get to the same spot.
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.

That's an interesting challenge indeed, but not easy to calculate. You as desinger I guess have to put that information into the level-data.
Otherwise it would be unbalanced...

'information into the level data'? Eh what?

The levels will have hints and an extensive help section. This will be of no use at all since NOBODY EVER READS THE HELP SECTION!

Hmmmm, okay....

Whatever the case. Version 1.6 is up. Actually I made it to version 1.6.1 which has a lot of bug fixes I discovered during my android tests.

So these are fixed and I added another small easter egg which tightens the multiplayer interaction a bit more than expected.

As usual enjoy the update... because I enjoyed making CG better every time...

Also I have published some newer Screenshots here:

Enjoy!
