Ok, I’m not going to spend any more time on this project, but a few things were really bugging about the game and it only took about 15 minutes to fix it.

What this new version fixes is:

* Win screen will not be skipped when you win the game

* You can hold the space down to fire – makes it much easier!

* Each time you kill a misfit, now your rate of fire will increase slightly

* The bullets rotate as they are fired

* And I shrunk Santa a little bit making it easier to maneuver him around the screen

In all, I think these fixes make it a more enjoyable, easier game. Now it is much more solvable and I think more fun too. You now have a fighting chance against those misfits!

I’ve tested the game on Windows 7 and Windows Vista and it works fine. I think it requires either DirectX7 or DirectX9, not sure which. If you are having problems, it may be your graphic card. I am using some huge bitmaps that may be causing some problems with some graphic cards when they are loaded as textures. Maybe try a beefier machine.

Anyway, here is the Windows version:

I won’t post a fixed version for the Mac, unless there is some sort of demand.

Take care!
