Thanks for playing and for the kind comments.
Sorry for the dramatic increase in difficulty at the end. If my school boy stats knowledge is correct, defeating the adult black dragon costs an average of 36 lives, minus two for each kill spell you have. Plus there's 'Gorlab the Fire Demon' downstairs with the same stats! I realise now I should have given out a LOT more powerups :-(
Will certain give serious consideration to audio for future projects. Sound design isn't in my skillset, but I guess even basic sounds could be effective.
