Kobo Deluxe 0.4pre8

Kobo Deluxe is an enhanced version of Akira Higuchis game XKobo. It adds sound, smoother animation, high resolution support, OpenGL acceleration (optional), an intuitive menu driven user interface, joystick support and other features. Kobo Deluxe uses SDL for graphics, sound and input, which makes it possible to run the game on pretty much anything.
In both XKobo and Kobo Deluxe, you fly a ship around in 2D space, destroying other ships, dodging bullets, and destroying massive space platforms by shooting their cores.
There are literally hundreds of levels, and each level is different every time you play--the platforms are randomly generated. Kobo Deluxe adds sound, better graphics, and much more to the original game.
