YES i confirm that this issue had happen in r.239, in my particular case AFTER a windows update (i don't know if it contains some things about java or similar).

Udate:

• decreased the difficult to catch up the humans: now the Galaga's beam tractor help you to grab the humans
• added basic menu system

same problem here in r239 and r240, i've tried to reinstall java etc etc... but nothing. In my system (Win 10 64bit) the issue is pretty random: in the most of cases i've to try an export 2/3 times before he goes. I've noticed that this workaround can be applied:

• delete any previuous export folder
• change one time the option about images compression and set it to None, then to Normal
• try to export

Update:

• added stats with high scores saving system
• updated the function to random-generate the levels

Try to beat level one!

Tap to the square in right corner on the stat popup to reset the hi-score table!

I'm working on a little concept inspired from the classic "defender". Do you 'member DEFENDER?

Tap Defender is a simple side scrolling shooter populated by a lot of old enemies and others stuffs from '80!

The game is intended for mobile phones, so the controls are the simplest possible:

• tap to the left side of the screen to fly and to the right side to shoot; stop flying AND swipe in the right side to BOMB enemies.

• Is possible also to play with keyboard: spacebar to fly, right shift to shoot and ctrl to bomb (in this version you don't have to stop flying to bomb, what of two systems is better?)

Try this first 9 levels and leave a comment!

All about rod control and line movement is now linked by the physic behavior, that is used to give a realistic feel:

Working hard for gameplay improvement... i've focused all action around physic. The line is now a "realistic rope" (that i've found in faq <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> ) that follow the rod and the impulses from the fish...

Take a look at the prototype:
