The after-death change is not working for me, or at least I am still inadvertently selecting one of the options on the menu when I was in a firefight just before dying. Also, like I said, selecting the "Main menu" option results in the program exiting/crashing now (it didn't on the older version).
That's too bad about having to remove those elements from the game, it makes it a little confusing not knowing if you missed something or not, but at least now I know. :-) Did you also remove the bone/doghouse thing? I saw that in the ALPHA video of the game.
Gameplay is king, and I think you've done a great job! If you can make a small, efficient game like this that packs as much gameplay as this does, you are doing it right.
