Hi Robert,

i just worked through your feedback.

Cyclops stunning should be sorted out now.
I’ve also added these score interactions:

hooking a cyclops gives you a skull
getting a skull when pushing a unit next to a wall
don't loose skull when getting hooked
get skull for use of wall chain
get skull for shield pickup
get skull for throwing the shield on a unit next to the player

Best
Arnold
