Glad you like it!

Yes, it will have music. Not sure about the style. I loved the chip tunes in the original.

Yeah, the random level were a bit frustrating. After a while it was easy to spot which were unsolvable.

Our version uses level maps like this (simple text file):

Code:

0,0,0,0,4,3,3,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1
2,0,0,0,4,3,3,0,0,0,0,0,2
2,0,0,0,4,3,3,0,0,0,0,0,2

It has a couple of advantages:
- solvable
- players can share their own and challenge others
- tutorial levels
and so on...

We plan on having a random map generator but it's quite a difficult task. Not even sure how to go about doing it. It's quite a topological, math puzzle. If you have any ideas or a binary blob we could include that would great!
