Wow! Finished at the last minute! Would have liked to do a lot more polishing but, still damn, I'm really happy with the results, especially for my first LD entry.

Doesn't have a whole lot to do with the theme, I tried to incorporate it in a couple different ways. Ended up being two ways -- you can only save one "maiden", and the others explode(they have bombs strapped to them); and you can only pick up one powerup.

Anyways, enjoy! Too bad I couldn't make more levels..

UPDATES:

In zip format now, (not that .7z nonsense) with a readme. And source. Thank god for that extra submission hour! And I'll probably create a "plus" version of this game eventually, with a title screen and more levels, and some tweaks and polish. But here's the entry for now.

Fixed a bug. Yay.

Updated to fix a memory leak, whoops. While I was at it I fixed the bug where the orange blocks weren't flagged as solid, that was confusing a lot of people. Now you can take that alternative path on the last level as intended. Should be within the rules for fixing minor errors after the deadline.
