8-Bit Agent: Online leaderboards

I am in the process of uploading the latest release of 8-Bit Agent, and, though it has no new levels, it has a number of new features. The biggest new change is the inclusion of lives. Previously, if you died during a level, you would just restart the level. You could do this as many times as you wanted to. Now, you still restart the level when you die, but you lose a life too. When you lose all your lives, you go to a game over screen, where you can submit your score, which now accumulates between levels, to the all new online leaderboard. This screen also has a button to just go back to the title screen without submitting your score. When you get a game over, all of your progress, along with your score and lives, is reset. If you dig through the ZIP file, you may notice that there is a new audio file labeled "level7_bgm.wav" There is a new level in the game, but it is incomplete, and I really wanted to get the leaderboard running ASAP, so I removed all methods of accessing this incomplete level. I had to leave the audio file in there, though, because the game will throw an error otherwise. So, what are you waiting for? Download the new version of 8-Bit Agent at http://randomanimations27.webs.com/game_8bit_agent.htm now.
