Thanks for all the positive comments.
@ Benal & Mike_c / I though I was being too generous with the hit boxes TBH, but I guess as the designer I know what they are and can account for them while playing, I'll see if I can make time to go back and adjust them ever so slightly.
@ mike_c / pressing down on menus - I'll see if that's a bug and fix it. Also yes music changes further into the game.
@ thevlasinator - it uses a virtual resolution so runs at your desktop resolution but it's all scaled up to look like it's running in 256x192 resolution.
BTW for those interested my game are made using BlitzMax ( http://www.blitzmax.com/Products/_index_.php ) which has recently gone free and open source.
