	Written entirely in 8086 assembler for lightning fast gameplay and tiny file size (~5kb).

Blocks

Normal Blocks: These are your basic fodder. They break easily, but there are a lot of them about.

Toggle Block: These vanish on contact without exploding, only to pop back into existence seconds later. Thankfully, you don't need to destroy them in order to pass a level, but they may get in your way.

Stubborn Block: These require a good deal of battering before they'll give way.

Steel Block: These are completely indestructible.
