Finally the first enjoyable version is out

Many improvements on this one.
First of all I'm now writing my post in English so I hope more people will be interest in Metagolf as well as all my future experimentations.
Download : METAGOLF 0.1.5
Don't forget the F12 button to change level 
For those who don't know what Metagolf is there is a short definition :
Metagolf is a real time golf where 1 up to 4 players must play at the same time with the same golf ball. The ball change colour when player touch it and you have to put it inside any golf hole present in the level. Avoid spikeball and do not put the ball inside dead zone area or you will need to start again ! You can shoot any object of the game from spikeball (just don't touch it) to player and even monkey Bridges (but that could hurt it so don't ;))
- The red play with mouse and arrow keys
- The blue play with ZSQD, R and T
- The green play with Joypad (sorry if you don't have one, next time there will be a menu to change this option)
- The yellow play with IKJL, P and M
The engine is achieved. Now all it need's is some menus, better artworks, sprites and many others bells and whistles. Probably new interacting objects is welcome too.
The biggest improvement is the new built-in Level Editor. Now you can build your own level and even chose your own graphics asset and skin to immerse player in whole new level (as you can see in some examples levels which may need game play improvement. We will look at this later on ;).
The Level Editor is still a bit unstable at some point but nothing "unfixable" I thing.
EDIT Should be a bit more stable now 
I still need to write a little documentation on how using it (mainly for the CTRL keys combination).
Roughly done !
I've also removed the navigation scrollbars since the arrows keys replace this feature nicely and give you more editing space.
The game is localized in English but is already supporting french. Next time a menu will let you chose your language.
Finally the first animated golfer as come to live ! My first try in pixel art animation so don't be too rude
Three more are planed with some new animation frame additions.
There's new elements to play with like rolling spikeball, oneWay Field, dead zone Field, water, Monkey bridge, flipper bumper and Treadmill ! Most of the others keys are explained when you launch the game.
I will just finish by : I'm still searching for a job, mainly in the casual gaming field or near.
Please don't hesitate to drop me an email if you have any proposals !
Have good time with Metagolf
