Game speed is adjustable ranging from 0 to 9:
0 - 5 fps,
1 - 5.5 fps - very close to the original,
2 - 6 fps,
3 - 7 fps,
4 - 8 fps,
5 - 10 fps,
6 - up to 12.5 fps,
7 - up to 16.7 fps,
8 - up to 25 fps,
9 - no delays and no vsync, about 5 times faster than the original on average.
Speeds 8 and 9 are unplayable, I use them for benchmarking.

Game balance changes:
-Ninja's kicks and throwables deal more damage:
Throwables and kick make 2 damage points, flying kick - 2-3
-Remaining HPs are now properly stored for each enemy. Also enemy 'health' now slowly regenerates.
-Reduced bat damage by 1 damage point
-Ninja takes less damage when falling from a small height:
no damage if height is less than 15 tiles, half damage if less than 2 floors (36 tiles)
-Android sits longer after shooting the ninja
