Please make it possible for the game to load maps from cache. Downloading 40mb for each time I connect to a server, even if its the same map, even on the same server than last time... lets just say its a big turnoff. ;-)
Would be a welcome change to an otherwise great gaming experience.
I am amazed!! Its nearly perfect. Of course I still have minor suggestions, bloody spoiled perfectionist that I am ;-)
1.) Magnet could use more power, especially in the back of the ship. You barely have the opportunity to pick up anything from the enemys that come from the bottom.
2.) The Music is to awesome to drown them in the games sound fx. I would love to be able to lower/increase volume on sound FX and music with separate sliders.
3.) Visibility is always THEE challenge with shmups. Lowering the ammount of coins on the screen ("rich" enemies only dropping 1 high value collectible instead of 3 mid-value collectibles might be a good way)
4.) The repulser... I donno. Might just be personal taste, I might just be to stupid to active at the right moment... but I would prefer the repulser to have a meter that decreases while I hold the mouse button, instead of it being one shot thing. (hope you get what I mean)
those are all good suggestions - I know exactly what you mean about not having enough time/magnetism to grab stuff from enemies at the bottom of the screen. Also concerning the repulser: I did think about doing it exactly the way you describe it and I still think it might be better that way, the only reason I didn't was a kind of laziness - it would have required a tiny bit more work and I already felt like I had too much on my plate, so maybe next time....
Played it through in one setting yesterday. had some remarks.. came back today to post them: all fixed already. Talented developer with a fantastic attitude. 5 Stars, easy decision!
