The lives are a crucial part of the high score system, which wouldn't work without them. If you want to play without lives then go to level select in the main menu and choose a level! :) This is for practicing so that you can get a better score on the high score levels.
Have fun and cheers for playing. :D
Finally fixed the speed bug! Turns out is is to do with placing sound in the timeline, i found the sounds in movieclips, so i added them all dynamically and it works fine :D
I haven't a clue where the bug is coming from, i have trawled through the code a thousand times and can't find anything!
It used to work every time, perfectly in flash player 9! I will get this sorted, just stay with me!
Thanks for all your comments, you are right in saying that ugoplayer was the sponsor and i was the developer. Although i thought that this game was better than the first, it wasn't received very well so i thought i had hit a brick wall, but judging from the majority of comments most of you liked it. I will try to make a 3rd one with even more features!
1. i agree that having to use the mouse is annoying, it will be changed for a sequel.
2. a save function is already being worked on and will definitely be included in the sequel.
3. Difficultly levels would be great, but i just dont have the time!
