I think the problem you're having with the score resetting to zero is one of you bombs landed in your city or you crashed into your city. When you do that, all the score you've built up on that ship disappears and there's a crying sound. I bought the game last month and got ver. 1.0.2. I don't know if there's a newer version. The bug I have is that if you happen to get enough points to get to the next level while at the same time get enough ship points to enter the bonus mode, the ship leaves the scree n but the game just sits there and scrolls through the landscape of the current level. Anyone else out there have this problem??? Tony Chi tchi@usc.edu

>I think the problem you're having with the score resetting to zero is one of >your bombs landed in your city or you crashed into your city....... There are also other areas where you can not drop bombs in the higher levels. In level 2 don't bomb the boats sailing across the ocean. I guess theses are your 'people' colonizing a new world!! In level 3 don't bomb the prison/fort. I guess some of your 'people' are being held there. Also level 3's city is very tough. The city itself is larger than the other levels making a stray bomb (or SHOT!!) very likely to hit your city. At the same point the landing area for level 3 is very small. Try to catch to bullseye as soon as possible!! Yaaaaaaaahoooo -Alan

You're crazy, not me! | Sky Shadow has annoying bugs, but zeroing the score is not one of them. It's a feature. It happens when you bomb your own civilians in their city. DON'T DO THAT! :-) Ed Allen allen@enzyme.berkeley.edu
