A big update for Sky Drive today. This release includes, but is not limited to:

• Loading Bar - implementation of a loading bar will occur with this update.
• Preloader - added the Time Bending Games logo to the beginning of the game.
• Drop Shadows - all of the art in the game (excluding menus) now have a neat drop shadow, giving the game a more 3d feel.

• Platforms - added 2 vertical platforms to make it more interesting.
• Kongregate - more stats to check out.

• Helicopter - blades spin around now, and shooting the helicopter gives you 1000 score + distance you were at when you shot it.

Bug Fixes:

• Player 2 started out of level
• Sloppy code - checking the same thing twice, lowering performance
• Rewrote lots of code - increasing performance and making it easier to make future updates
• fixed images - increased the quality of the images, removing 'floaty pixels', often associated with JPEG images.
• fixed issue when pressing quit in the pause menu, then playing again.
• fixed the possibility of getting stuck in a platform, because of the Full Platform hit detection support.

Nice little update for the game, improving overall gameplay. hoping to implement sounds soon, but that could be a while yet, as I have not located any sounds to use.
