That's very cool you got to speak at schools. I'd invite you to mine, but well... i don't go there anymore.
This is a definate trip down memory lane. The best part about this was the gameover screen, and hitting "play again" to beat your way back up :) Your menus are stylish.
Oh, and an anoying question, in the opening scene, with the house on the right, was that done in flash or paintshop pro? And I also presume the game over background was done out of flash also. Or am I wrong?
