Shen’s entry for thePDRoms Coding Competitionhas also seen an update. There is no history, nor a version number so I added the binary date. If you know the entry for PDRC1 you will recognize that the way things disappear after they have looped changed a bit. Now you can also hit fruits with your line without loosing a life. Just avoid the ‘real enemies.http://shen.mansell.tripod.com/games/gba/gba.html
