Most of this has worked out, but I've a small problem: My array doesn't seem to want to stay "exploded" after the Game Over screen shows up. Sure, they all go kablooey at least *once* when I die, but then they just keep coming. I think the problem stems from the methods described on Page 11 of the tutorial...
I'm wondering why this game isn't higher up in the rankings. Sure, it was a bit slim on the difficulty side, but the production was pretty well-hewn together. For a single author, that's quite a feat.
Cute twist at the end, as well. Perfect Halloween game.
