After nearly four months(!) its finally finished with 4 days still to go before deadline day. :)

When I finished powerboats, I said it was the longest code I'd written in a single game. This one's beaten it by miles. Finished up at 227k of sourcecode (Powerboats was 138k!).

No time to grab new screenshots - its nearly 4am. I've just finished adding the umpire commentary etc, plus some 'hilarious' out-takes which are played randomly during pause mode. :)

Tried to shine this one up really good, what with it being my final Blitz effort and everything. *very* happy with it.

Off to sleep now, but first, here's a screenshot I took last week.
