  I fixed that bug after PJ v1.1 Release 2

  There are actually 5+ different ball speeds, but accelleration is 
nearly instantaneous so probably you just had held down UP long enough 
to reach top speed.

  That shouldn't happen. I think I fixed that bug. I'll check it out 
though.

  This is not a bug. I mentioned this in the text file. Too many times 
after saving or pausing, the player immediately died. So after 
Pause/save, the speed is stopped, the jump flag is reset, and the ball 
is placed on a viable square.

  If the tile detector can not detect a square after a loss of 2 lives, 
it will create a false tile on the right side of the screen to place the 
ball upon.



>-The game still decreases in more than 1 lives when you die sometimes.

  You only lose at the most 2, and that is only when there are no viable 
spaces in the surrounding 5 level editor tiles. So the only way you'll 
lose multiple lives is if the jump is impossible to begin with.
I'm trying to fix this, though.

   You're welcome. Florent Dhordain deserves thanks as well.
