Beret is a 2D puzzle-platformer game about a scientist, astonishingly named Beret, who has gained telekinetic abilities through his research at the Evil Corporation. He decides that the Evil Corporation is a tad too evil for his liking, and begins his solitary quest to overthrow the corporation and punish the evil deeds of his employers. Beret has 21 puzzle-filled levels, 120 collectable Medallions, over 20 hours of gameplay, and an unlockable level editor.

I may as well mention this over here too. Beret is now open source and hosted at Gitorious.org, so have fun with that if you're so inclined.

Comparing the file sizes of each xz/LZMA2 compression level, the results are negligible, though using -9e produces the smallest file size as expected. (Note, for files smaller than 32mb, 16mb, 8mb, etc sometimes -9e produces larger file size than lower compression levels)
