OK I found a little problem with two of your older games. Jam! is a neat little game, but given that you don\'t distribute it from here, all the following may not matter. But I\'m gonna post about it anyway! btw I downloaded it from rganimation.com.

The problem is that the two games write to each others\' high score table. If you have both games with an empty (default) high score table, the first game of the two you play will write to both games\' tables. So after one game of Jam, Bang will have Jam\'s high scores shown, and vice versa. After that it\'s pretty much Bang\'s high scores shown for both games since it\'s hard to score much above 20 in Jam.

Yup - this is a bug that was reported last year :)

It was a mistake in the settings, because Jam was created re-using a lot of code from Bang!Bang! :)

If we decide to release Jam! then I\'ll be creating a newer version which won\'t have the problem !

I\'ll be looking forward to that if you do release it. It\'s a nice little elegant game, and I haven\'t seen anything else like it out there. It would need some enhancement/extension to make it a little meatier, I think, but only a little bit. But wouldn\'t it be nice to release a game where you\'re not paying anyone else any licensing fees? ;)
