Yes, it's still alive. The last commit to the public repository was not
so long ago made by grumbel. If you want to play more levels - take a
look into data/levels/playable there are a few.
If you want to get an overview of them, try:

Well, there will be new releases. We'd have a 0.6.1 with some polishing
and new translations out, if not for the fact that our nice, new font
doesn't get displayed correctly. Unfortunately ClanLib 0.6 needs a patch
to display it right and there nobody with the required skills and time
right now. This doesn't need to stop you from creating new worlds
though, if there's are new contributions, there's more motivation for
the programmers to work on Pingus as well.
