Pachi el marciano is a platforms game inspired by games like Manic
Miner and Jet Set Willy. The goal is to collect all the objects on
each level; when this is done, the exit gate to the next stage will
appear.

A new levelset (the weird castle), a command line option that allows you to start the game in full screen mode (-f, --fullscreen), two new pages of the comic, and the intro poster of the new levelset have been added.
This version fixes a bug that made sequential objects
not appear correctly in stage 5, a bug that made some
monsters "stick" when colliding, and a bug that made
some parts of some objects stay on the screen when
grabbed.
The second set of levels was added (the caves), with new landscapes, monsters, and objects. "Hint-arrows" were also added in the first stages to tell you that the stage continues (many people can't complete the first stage because they didn't know that the stage continues to the right). The Start comic was improved and the second part was added when entering the caves. Intro-posters were added when entering each scene (cemetery, caves). The alpha blending speed was increased. The respawn FX speed was increased.
In this release, the framerate counter was discarded. A a difficulty feature that makes the monsters less "tolerant" when coliding with Pachi was added. The game code was cleaned up considerably. A little intro that explains why Pachi is in the cemetery was added, as was a little "dragontech" intro. The main menu background and the fade-out FX for the objects were improved.
