Hi, everybody.
Here is Treasure of Pharaoh 0.2. If you miss the previous version, this is a chance to try this homebrew made by me.
Treasure of Pharaoh is a clone of "Lode Runner". It's one of the best game I've ever played.

What's new:
1. AI updated. With updated AI, the Anubis is much "reasonable". I've tested it with all 150 levels, and it's working very fine. If you can't solve a level, just try again and think. The greatest fun of this game is you need to figure out how to solve the level. It's not easy. If you're lode runner fans, you know what I mean.

2. Graphics updated.

3. Serveral bugs fixed.

4. Options menu is now working. You can turn on/off bkg music and turn on/off false brick. False brick is a tile which have the same outlook as the ground. But you cannot dig on it. When you run on top on it, you'll drop to the next floor. Just like stepping on air. Turning off the false brick, will render the false brick differently, so you can see it clearly. This will make the game much easier.

5. High score is now working. Auto saved when clear a level.

6. Keys configuration changed.
L+Triangle goes to previous level
R+Triangle goes to next level (minus 1 life)
L+R+Triangle restart current level (minus 1 life)

I've learn a lot from this project and having great fun while playing this game. Maybe someday I'll share the experience on another thread. If you say, "Hey, snowmydog. I just don't like you, I won't try this game!". Fine, but please grab the original Lode runner(Apple II/DOS) and take a try. This is a true classic.

Enjoy!
