I reluctantly handed over cash for the premium content, which was a bad idea. You don't get much more out of the game with it as opposed to without it.
I've done five games, all without getting a Divine Sword before meeting the dragon. Considering that using one on him is the only way to defeat him, it should be mandatory that you pass at least one Divine Sword before you meet the dragon.
This was an awesome shooter, and great for your first game.
I'm working on learning AS3 using Flixel right now, and I hope for as much success as you!
Again, great work.
Haha yeah, I think the film crew ran out of budget..! ;)
