I finished the V1.1 update. You can download the new version here:
I added Level 9 to the set.
Impossible mode became more difficult. Now, you MUST get the time bonuses to make it through. In impossible mode, you now have only 20 minutes at the start and extra time potions restore only 4 minutes each. The game CAN actually be completed this way (I checked), even including all the life potions. (except the one in level 3, which requires a different tactic...) It is just superhumanly difficult.
So, the difficulty levels are now:
Normal mode: start
150 minutes, time bonuses are
15 minutes
Hard mode: start
60 minutes, time bonuses are
12 minutes
Impossible mode: start
20 minutes, time bonuses are
4 minutes
For convenience, I created a
difficulty selection screen.
If you don't want to be bothered about the difficulty every time the game launches, you can modify SDLPoP.ini and replace "difficulty = prompt" with "difficulty = normal" (or "hard" or "impossible").
Here are some screenshots taken from Level 9:
This is the full list of changes:
- Added Level 9.

viewtopic.php?f=73&t=3664) for the details!
