I just yanked Gylpha II 1.0 off of umich and about the only thing that seemed
different from 0.9 was the fact that when you die, it doesn't seem to reset the
mouse position. This means that if you were flying at max speed to the left
when you died, when you hit the button to start your new guy, you start off 
flying to the left. The old version seemed to always fly straight up after
you died. This new feature has caused many an unwelcomed death because I took
off in the wrong direction. I also think it should be easier to stop your
horizontal movement. I have a IIci with the A3 mouse and I had to turn the
mouse sensitivity way down for me to be able to stop and stand still or hover..
But other than those two minor problems, I think it is a great game..It took
me about 4 games to beat Ozma of Oz's high score though(128,000)
