Getting a bit cut-throat in order to finish project DONT_TOUCH_THE_BUTTON:
Here are some items that have been demoted to my WANT but NOT necessary list:
1. Pusedogenerated checksum keys to prevent game-shark style hacking of score.
2. Blood Splatter on the MidGround
3. Pre-Loader Switch Board (Worry about this when you have one other finished game.)
4. Pure-Idler style game. Game will NOT progress if you have the window closed.
5. Random falling exploding crates of self-destruction.
