SketchFighter 4000 Alpha 1.0.2 features the following changes/enhancements:

-- Restored ability to post high scores for 2-player games.

SketchFighter 4000 Alpha's two player mode allows you to play with a friend at the keyboard, or play with other SketchFighters over the Internet for live action!

Still haven't had enough yet? SketchFighter 4000 Alpha also has a level editor that lets you create your own battlegrounds, allowing you to release your inner creativity to create levels for yourself and others to enjoy.

Maaan, i was too slow this time...

But highscores again is AWESOME. Almost as good as custom level saving was.

Huzzah! Time to go bump my 2-player challenge thread, and prepare to maintain my ranking as one of the two top players.

This is a curious change. Were there problems with localizations, or is SF4ka getting more hacker-friendly?

Nah. Put any previous version of SketchFighter in a folder containing ususual Unicode chars (those that are not in MacRoman, in my tests I used "ℕ∀ℳℇ", which is "NAME" with the uppercase letters replaced by lookalike mathematical Unicode chars), and try to run the game or the editor.
