I did find a minor glitch in this. I went to the control panel from the
start menu (possibly in the middle of entering a code), and found it in
a sort of endless loop when I came back. I could still type in characters,
and it would recognise a code (change the level indicator), but I couldn't
get out of the code-entry box. This may be related to another glitch where
you sometimes have to enter a code twice.

I sent a/the note about level 87 (in fractured French; sorry Oliver ;).
There is a glitch there that prevented me from finishing the level: I'll
send the level 88 code to anyone who's been there and wants to get past
it (the codes in the game binary aren't quite as "encoded" as they first
"aspedrhd" :).

There's also one level (97) that requires you to have one egg going in,
meaning the level can't be completed from scratch (you have to go one or
two levels back and get an extra egg). Don't know whether this one is a
bug or a feature...

Oops, I've finished them all now. It does wrap around to level 0, though,
so I can keep it simple for a while.

Thanks for an enjoyable, and obviously addictive, game.

One thing that would be interesting in the game would be an editor, to
create and trade new levels a la Loderunner. I'd like some new levels
on the order of fiendishness of the last 10 or 11.

(btw, the person who commented on the game's non-violent nature may not
have made it to the puncher and bomb screens :)
