   Yes, this bug is in Orzunoid 85 as well. Don't know what causes it.

     Also in the 85 version. I'm not sure what is the cause.

   First I've heard of it.

ON

    Do you mean actual balls appear or is there simply a screw up in the 
display so that picture of a ball flashes on the screen. If this does 
happen, then it has been in all previous versions of Orzunoid and in the 
85 version.


>that's it... for now... some of the levels are a pain in the ass...
>especially the ones with too many solids...
    I know. The game is kind of monotonous. The only way to make the 
levels hard is to use the solid blocks. However, then in certain levels 
it seems like you are just trying to manipulate the ball to hit one 
solitary block.
   Releasing a crash version of the game was a complete accident. I was 
working with CRASM trying to figure out the CrASH bug, and I simply 
forgot to change the CRASM to ASM when I compiled the game. I then 
screwed up further when I submitted an ash beta that was missing three 
levels(sorry, Rabeler). I'm releasing a new beta tonight. I have decided 
not to include negative powerups because they really are a waste of 
space. After you figure out which ones are bad, you simply avoid them 
and 200 bytes is wasted on 6 pointless powerups. The Orzunoid beta 
released tonight will have 9-10 powerups.
