Perfectly fine about the delay, I've had some take a year before getting back to me. Glad to hear my feedback was helpful in development!
The game handles SO much better now with the new controls. I'd completely forgotten about that going in, so I just naturally took to the new way. Having actual enemies in it now makes moving around constantly feel more fun as I juggle shooting, dodging, and finding more stuff to blow up. Due to this, I find I play on the board more than I do on foot. It's fast paced, chaotic, and I like it.
Having music going now also helps make it more fun. I think there were some words being spoken at one point? I'm unsure if that was part of the music or something in the game, but I wasn't able to hear them clearly to know what they were saying. That aside, the overall audio is coming along.
I tried each character, but due to the chaotic nature of the game, I wasn't able to notice their differences at this time. I like that Pipchang has clothes in the new build though. Nipps' new style, however, is a little off putting with her gloves. In the Performance Report screen, she looks a bit like a dark blob with a couple of white spots while dancing.
On the topic of the Performance Report, it doesn't seem to show anything. Am I to assume it's non-functioning at this time? Also, the new stage, what there is of it right now, is looking nice.
Oh, and what's the timer looking thing in the top right of the screen? It seems to change from low numbers to high at random while counting down.
Keep up the good work.
