That said, make sure your title screen is not like 90% of the entire game file size, though. :P

There's so much data that the individual menus barely even register. Less than a third of the total file is used by everything other than data and the game engine.

Lol that's a lot. At least unlike in BASIC, Axe data is generally pretty small, though, same for ASM. In BASIC, each list elements are like 9 bytes each and when stored in the program, they take between 2 and 4 bytes, depending of how large is the number. That said, I personally don't mind if the game is large if it's gonna be a good game, though.

Data is almost exclusively contained within strings. It allows the game to edit the map in real time. But I really hope it's a good game. Too much bloody work for it not to be fun.

It looks nice!  May I suggest, however, using DispGraphr when moving the rocket on the title screen, to preserve the quality of the title text?

You see it because it's a slow screenshot. in the actual game, you wont see
Btw, I'll put sound in it. not music, only a "beep-beep" sound when shooting etc.

That's a good idea, but you should know that actual music (albeit consisting of beeps :P) is easy and works fine as an interrupt.  Check out this topic.

Does it slows down the game a lot, though?

I wonder if you could play music in an interrupt and normall at the same time, to have some sort of chords, or even have sound effects be played normally when needed and the music through an interrupt?

I'm not sure that would work too wel.
It does slow down the game, but not too much.
