Added plasma gun (powerful, [...]

New version with music and sounds by Michael Grubb of ShuffleBitSound. There are also some bug fixes, and game logic was rewritten to use new game object system from Arcane Worlds. It plays almost the same though. You can now choose between installer and zip-file downloads.

LEVEL UP! update

New version is released, featuring generated levels and new graphics: New demo can be downloaded too. Tiles were exported from Sproxel development version by my Python plug-in. I’m going to make a tech demo of Arcane Worlds now, so you can download it and test how it runs on your hardware. Non-interactive probably.
