Great, I've sent you a message. It will come from kirk_johnston AT hotmail DOT com.

Also, you can check out some early test footage of the SNES game idea I'm working on here: Mode 0 Test

Ah, ok. That makes sense.

By the way, can I ask what kind of unit sales you achieved (hopefully you're not sensitive about this stuff)?

I'm in the process of mocking up a SNES game myself, with the ideal end-goal of releasing it as physical game too, and I'm just curious about the potential numbers of people out there who will actually go out and buy it.

If you are saying there are the 24 enemies PLUS the 10 explosions onscreen then I think you made a design/programming error there because the enemies should change into the explosion sprite when they die so there's never a higher number than 24 sprites/explosions onscreen at once. Or at least I imagine that would be a good way to do it in order to reduce the amount of sprites onscreen at once. Did I get you wrong there?

This really is great. The only thing I personally think it would be nice to add is the ability to turn around using the right analog stick on Oculus + Touch (both snap and smooth). I know many people have full room-scale VR setups now, but there's many that don't, and this one little addition would help greatly for those who don't. This is a still great even with the turning limitations, but it would be amazing with that one quality of life improvement for Oculus Rift owners like me.
