To anyone who hasn't read "My Opinion" yet, read that post before reading this one, because here we pick up, where the last one ended.

So, about the things I liked nothing has really changed. But several things changed which I do not really appreciate.

1. I haven't mentioned that earlier since it wasn't that bad, but now - I am ok with difficult patterns, I am ok with attack that go in circle, I am ok with homing attacks, but I am not ok with bullets which change their dirrection for no actual reason. There's no actual way one can estimate where bllets will be while also dodging other stuff - you just see one row eith something that appears to be a safe spot, you go there and then suddenly one of the bullets changes it's path. That's what I meant when I talked about a functional pallette. I would be something completely different if the bullets had another color at least. Same for the homing attacks, even though I haven't seen any in the last version.

2. I feel fat. I don't know if it's the hitbox or something but in the pre-alpha when something shoot a bunch of bullets onto my figure I could just move a little and and stay inside of that attack. I can't really do that anymore.

3. The arms may be an interesting addition but the implementation... just watch it yourself... this last level before the final boss doesn't seem like it's possible.

That's everything I got to say for now.

Thanks for the feedback on this build :)

1. Changing bullet directions were added to mix it up a bit, and catch the occasional player off-guard. However, I will reduce the wind-up time before changing so that it becomes apparent when you see it for the first time. In v0.2, different bullet patterns will have different colors, so you can differentiate between them (colors are randomly picked from a set of hues based on level style). Homing attacks have been toned down, so they no longer chase the player down like dogs :) they still exist though!

2. Due to popular opinion, I decreased the normal movement speed by a bit and increased the slowed-down speed by a little. I'm not sure if it's the right choice, but we'll see how others fare with it :)

3. Ah yes, the arms! It is still a buggy feature, and I regretted putting it out there before fixing it. I think I might release v0.2 today, to temporarily fix the arm problem. However, v0.2 has some difficulty issues (it is much more subdued, and easy, but has some interesting patterns).

Actually, now that I've seen the arms system, I honestly think that the way of implementation (I don't mean that it's buggy) but in general, I think that they should neither follow player's movements nor move on their own (this doesn't include the case if the boss itself moves).

The arms don't follow the player anymore, nor do they extend (they now have a fixed length). In the future (maybe the next small patch?) I'm thinking of resetting angles and length every time the attack is finished.

This way, the boss can execute more special moves while preventing the spawners from going to impossible places.

I DID IT! I'm actually not sure if that would be technically possible if there wouldn't be the shield.
