The PS5 is fully backwards compatible with PS4 games, so no point in limiting it to just the PS5 when there are millions of PS4s out there.

True, but PS4 games can be enhanced on PS5 using Boost mode and, with little competition, having a dedicated PS5 version at launch would do wonders for exposure and sales. It's probably too late though.

It's not "TOO LATE" IT NEVER WAS !

Do you think I have NOT tried to get hands on a PS5 devkit ?

Do you think "a simple 2 guys really indie studio" can have any chanche ?

I think the answer is "just no" .. :?

I did ask and I got a "standard reply", probably automated, along the lines of "we'll let you know ... " (i.e. FORGET IT ).

"At launch" .. that's for people like EA, not a thing like Llamasoft .. "do we have gazillions in the bank ?" .. no ..

Still the game I want most for iOS since you showed that quick port you did back on a very early iPhone...

As said before a restart level option. If I am playing a level and blow a life quickly, I would love to be able to restart the level without having to use up all my lives and restart from the menu.

Better score table access - I know you can get to the table via left/ right bumper, but I want it much easier to get to. I do find the menuing system to be a little clumsy.

Ability to start freeloader on the last level I unlocked in Normal mode. I have been stuck on one level for 2 days now and I just want to get through it and see what else is available.

The How to play guide, more detailed information on the power ups.

Apart from that its great !

As I mentioned before, we need some Legendary llamasoft instructions from Jeff, they were epic!

Great times indeed ...

When I quit and restart, which I do a lot, I sometimes want to start in the level I previously started, the level I just completed and was unable to improve or after failing to improve restart in the current level with a previous best. With that in mind I'm fine with no restart in the in-game options.

I must admit I was a little disappointed to not see a Pure mode similar to recent Llamasoft games and replaced by the Freeride mode. If I had to choose between a Survival mode and a Pure mode I would have preferred the Survival mode which is now in the game just renamed to Pure :) I think I would like to see all four modes in as apparently some enjoy the freeride mode, I wouldn't go as far as wishing it was in though.

Anyway I'm enjoying the game as it is!

Do you want that for VR or normal 2D?

If for normal, a lot of Steam games already do similar:

On first launch, they bring up a popup window for selecting the resolution, full screen/windowed, V-sync, etc, (with the same options also available in the actual game’s Settings menus) then the next time the game launches it uses those same settings without the popup.....popping up. :D
Then if you want to change something, you go into the game Settings. That new setting (once confirmed) is then used straight away and continues to be used on subsequent launches of the game.

Unfortunately, that isn't how the Moose Life launcher works. It pops-up every time you launch the game. There are no graphics options in the game itself.

In a future I'll change that .. in a future ...

Well there's some command line options, when launched in "VR mode" it BYPASSES the launcher "completly".

Use -mode 1 ( or was it -mode=1 ?? ) to go directly in VR, -mode 2 to go directly in Arcade Mode full screen ...

[edit] - I suppose I could add some more options assuming you want to launch it "in mode X" bypassing all that stuff ?

[edit2] - I SUPPOSE I could add things like "-vr" "-fullscreen" "-pure/freeride/normal" "-sometsshit" ?

I don't have VR (yet), I'm just playing in 2D.

It's called Pure but you start with 9 lives and won't get more, like Survival in T4K and Endurance in MAGR.
