I'm glad you think it's better too. Originally, this wasn't going to be a real game. It was just going to be a sample game engine that you could kinda play. Once I realized it was becoming fun, I started making it into a game. At that point I knew I had to tweak the controls a bit. Besides, this shows how a proper engine up front can dramatically reduce the work of changes later. Tweaking the controls meant editing only one method. Pretty much all changes thus far have been simple to implement because the game engine itself is flexible.

As for graphics, I totally agree but unless someone gives me a hand with the artwork, I won't be adding em in. This could be as simple as someone just posting a link to an image that I could use. As this is a freebie, I'm not going to bust my butt trying to cobble together sound and images if the community itself isn't willing to help.

Have fun!
