Arcade games

Historically, Arcade games are games that were played on arcade machines in public locations. Today, an arcade game is any game that more or less resembles those old games. Typical gameplay aspects of arcade games are:

• They have a simple gameplay, usually easy to understand but hard to master
• They focus on skill (as in dexterity)
• The goal is usually to master one simple skill, but that one very well
• Highscore tables
• Limited number of "lives"

Arcade games overlap with action games a lot. The difference is that arcade games lean closer to tyical "arcade-style" gameplay as described before.

From version 1.1.1 there are cheats available once all levels have been finished. These include a free 3D view and fractal parameter modification so that the game can be used as a real-time 3D fractal exploration tool.

This version fixes bugs and adds new features such as better rendering or level editor.
