I'm not sure why it is marked as closed source because the code is GPLv3 and the data creative commons BY-SA 3.0. It is open source.
It is fun to play and great graphics.
My only complaint is the difficulty settings are a bit unusual. You would think 60% difficulty is only a bit more difficult than 50% .... but you would be very wrong. Still, with default difficulty it works very well.
I was not able to stop playing it until I finished it. Very addictive!
And I just noticed there is a manual for creating custom levels in the product page. Interesting...
Had the best of fun last night when I installed this little scroller. Graphic are very nice and you have a lot of control over them.
Lots of action.
Visually it is very cool and the lurning curve is very light.
Just good old taking your mind of it ;-)
