I recently got into PolarDA. It's a shareware puzzle/game similar to a PC/Unix game called Sokoban. I have an "alpha" release 1.0a2 and I was wondering if: - There is a newer version around? - Paying the shareware fee would activate the missing features? - The docs have a Minnesota address and a Japan address. Where do I send the fee? This is a really neat game, but before I pay for it, I'd like to know that I'll be getting some much-needed features such as: - Save a level - Keep a score file with a history of level and number of moves - Go to any level - Keyboard controls (it's real annoying when the arrow changes and you don't notice because you're going fast) - Undo a move (this would be REALLY nice) Thanks in advance for any info.

Yes, PolarDA is a neat game isn't it. It is in fact based on the concept of old PC games Sokoban ( originary written for FM-7 made by Fujitu ). Some function mentioned here isn't implemented in 1.0a6 ( the latest version ) intentionally to make the game more challenging. I'm still in Minesota so give me an e-mail. Go.
