info

0.37b13 [Juergen Buchmueller]

Bugs:

Playfield keeps shifting, when you launch from the base you go into the starfield, every 5-10 seconds the base reappears and then scrolls off again. Steveir (ID 01217)
When I started a second game, the game colours went completely different to the 1st game (most noticably the alien ships). Steveir (ID 01218)

WIP:

0.116: ShimaPong fixed missing colors in Super Astro Fighter.
