Sounds Good

I forgot to mention last time that I added in Player saving and loading just before I uploaded it for feedback  - it took a little while but the levels now only display if the level has been accessed before. A player can now also reset their progress with a button.
I added the extra level recently too, So I now have 12 levels of increasing difficulty, which seems to fill up the level select screen nicely. Talking of level select screens, I forgot the button on the Level complete popup which takes you back to the level select if you do not wish to proceed to the next level.. So that is now implemented.

Anyway, for while now I have been implementing sounds and music into the game; It's been quite a nice change from the usual stuff I end up doing. all of the sounds I've used are simply heavily edited sounds from freeSFX.co.uk as I really do not have the time or the resources at the moment to make my own. My main focus on sound effects was giving feedback to players on main important aspects of the game, so at the moment I have sounds for plugs going in and out of sockets, powering up sounds, and powering down sounds.
The music which I added to the game was to make the game a little more interesting and polished, I made the music from scratch much like our group game's music. I must admit, it took a little while longer than I wanted it to, but I think it was probably worth it in the end.

My final addition to the game will most likely be a Win-screen that appears when you complete all of the levels - As of yet I'm not sure how extravagant it is going to end up.
