I spent countless hours on Icy Tower and Operation Spacehog. Thanks for those. :)

I'll also have to admit I stole a sprite or two from Spacehog for my own little horizontal space shooter as a teenager, hehe...

Haha, youre welcome. Hope you put the sprites to good use!

I had a tendency to not finish most games I started, as my approach to game development was rather unstructured. This was one of those unfinished games. Looking at it 16 years later, it's quite a few sprites that I copied :D https://sagagames.de/bilder/screenshots/fruit4.png I wasn't very graphically inclined, so most of the graphics in that screenshot were actually lifted from a handful of games (which were mentioned in the credits of course). At least the spaceships and enemies I drew myself (which shows)... The screenshot shows a randomly generated endless level. I started building a level editor but that was the point where I stopped developing that game.

So, not sure I put it to good use. But it was a lot of fun. :)

Who knows, your game may become the next internet sensation haha [1].
