Yeah– as I’ve been playtesting this thing I’ve noticed that unintended handicap.. that your last little ship left.. (worth the least points, but still a “win”) has an easier chance in getting through. I guess that is really cool… it would be interesting to play around more with those types of mechanics.

I’m not quite sure I know what you mean by your last comment about sending the swarms aligned for the players formation? You mean.. so they could pass through the tiny gaps between players fleet ships? Those would be tiny indeed!

I may do homing missles.. those are like tiny ships right?

One of the cool things about the basic mechanic is that there’s sort of a built in handicap – as you lose guys, it becomes a bit easier because there are fewer of them to protect. So when you get down to one guy it’s pretty easy to keep him alive, but that’s cool cuz if he does die it’s game over.

Have you thought about sending swarms of tiny enemies, aligned to fit between the gaps in the player’s formation?

Of course I’d love it to be the most epic space shooter evar… but..

collision detection of boundaries is on list…. hehe

@fiona: great feedback.. I can offer a whole lot of keys actually… anyone else freely shout out your faves..
