Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma 0.8 beta version questions

[slfabian]

Hi Daniel,

Wow!  I am obviously pleased with your decision, but I also wanted to
comment on how impressed I am that you genuinely are concerned with hearing
and responding to the thoughts and ideas of the people who play your game.
I look forward to the final release of version 0.8 so I can try some of
these new levels.

I also noticed what seems to be a problem with the level called "Jump and
Run" in the Enigma level pack.  Admittedly, I have never been able to solve
it yet in version 0.7, but the "moving arrow" (I don't know the official
name for this) just stops in the beta version.  It behaved differently in
version 0.7.  The same thing happened in both the normal and easy difficulty
options.

Thanks,
Stephanie Fabian
