Hey mate
Thank you so much for the detailed post and the recording, this helps a lot.
I have a lot of things in my list and finally some time to fix a few things or try them differently.
For the maps: which one was "fun"/rewarding?
Maybe i can use that as an example to add more similar ones. Right now all are meant to have a tactical way of finishing them (there are usually combinations if environmental features and specific enemy placements that allow for a step by step approach. But maybe that's not clear enough.
The mg bug with he companion is really odd, j must have introduced this while fixing something else, as it worked before.
I will let you know once a new version is up and would love to get your input for that again and hopeful made the experience more fun.
