Not sure I'd pay £8 for them.

Missile Command seems to be a survival mode, not waves like the original. You can earn points to upgrade your bases rebuild time, shot speed, recharge speed etc

The Adamvision games look alright but lack originality and have no depth it's all meh. I'm sure they have a market though.

I picked them up on the Epic store too and was, well, underwhelmed is putting it mildly even at no cost.

They could (and should) have been so much more/better

Apparently Jeff is putting the finishing touches and working on the tutorial?

Hope you don't mind me compiling his most recent Tweets about the upcoming game..

:sheep: Hey, it will include bullets, bombs, chaining mechanics (YES, please let this be Llamasoft's Radiant Silvergun on steroids):

:sheep: Seems you can also go back to the tutorial, a la 'practice mode'?

https://twitter.com/llamasoft_ox/status ... 5991878657

:sheep: It'll have built in auto-fire (I like this, mashing the fire button all the time can be tiresome on my 'old' hands):

https://twitter.com/llamasoft_ox/status ... 4017496069

:sheep: You can actually nip downstairs (is this a secret / escape zone / advanced pause menu, or something like the Hub in Monolith where you can chill and customize your room? BTW: awesome game in every respect https://store.steampowered.com/app/603960/Monolith/):

Either way, I just can't wait :-)

Feature request: autofire I stalled on all elevator buttons.

All I can say is that "the next big thing already has taken quite a 'big' shape and feels REALLY GOOD" ..

While Jeff is busy making it feel "REALLY BETTER" I am busy "making it work on everything", again can't tell you anything will give you "too many hints".

It's definitely something that Jeff is "starting to think" that could be "his next thing after Space Giraffe" in terms of "strange but very interesting gameplay" and again I can't tell you anything because anything would be "too much revealing" :D

Even defining it "a shooter" is "partially correct" and that already says something 8) :mrgreen:

Nuff said ... it's definitely a game "deeper than it initially looks" but really EASY to pick up.
