It's a MM clone made in the pretty damn spiffy Platform Game
Designer. Very unoriginal with many MM-same graphics. Main problem
is that damn collision detection. I kinda enjoyed the music theme
of the game but some of the levels were lacking interesting
designs. Still, it's alright for a quick blast.

An interesting game which would benefit from being converted to a
Manic Miner game, or better still JSW64.

Such a conversion could have patches to the MM/JSW64 game-engine
such as:
* allowing the player to stand on the bottom row;
* allowing the player to fall through a height of 5 characters;
* extending collision-detection for guardians so that they don't
kill you if they collide with something other than the player,
e.g. to take the player's position into account when pixels
collide.
