It's great! Play it people. The idea is simple - you are a rabbit/hare (I'm not sure ;) ) and you have to collect carrots. But it makes a great puzzle game with clever puzzles and beautiful execution (graphics, music). I didn't have much time to try it but for sure I'll play it more.

Can anyone elucidate what the role is of each author? (Code, AY, loader etc) and which country Quiet and Zorba are from (I guess Russia).

Diver
Quiet
Kyv
Zorba

I find it certainly good but not as great as Andre thinks - well, most of the times I disagree with him so it's no surprise to me :lol: It has obviously been put with great care by its authors, but it's a very simple game at its core, nowhere near as varied or complex, as, say, Chip's Challenge or Supaplex. I managed to get to level 20 at my first go, and I am not an ace at puzzles :lol: But I guess it's the same with the original game as well, which I was unaware of until now.
