I am pleased to announce the release of Heroes v0.5.
Heroes is a game like Nibbles (or Tron) with many enhancements.
It can be played by one or two players. It features 12 original
soundtracks, 94 levels (in 10 different tilesets). There are
five game modes like Quest (the classical Nibbles), or Kill’em
all (run over lemmings). This is a port to Linux of the DOS
version.
