Description:

A simple minigame I prototyped after someone at Symbianize.com asked for help 
regarding a hangman game.  As I was not into "lethargic" games, I tried to make 
an arcade-ish hangman by combining elements of space invaders in the game.

After about 6 hours of coding, The prototype was complete.  Then the guy who asked 
for help somehow chickened out.  He actually got the binary but I never heard from
him eversince.  Probably sent the game to his professor, but would probably fail
when his professor sees this game. ;*(

Since I didn't want the prototype to go to waste, I just completed the gameplay,
added some aesthetics, used tinysound and I gots me a minigame.

Not a lot to be proud about though.  Game is not optimized, it looks really bad,
GFX and sounds are just a patchwork of working, royalty free but not original sprites,
code is a mess and gameplay is not up to standards.
