any other things i can think of and have time to add!

Thanks in advance for your interest BlastroidS SE.

Kindest regards, geecee3.

PS. the game is in a fully playable, stable state. I just want to use the time I have between now and tomorrow for testing and content additions / changes (models / audio), and to set a new whopping high score for you all to beat.

I hope I'm not cutting this too fine for you Rich!!!

[edit] oh i see you release it tomorrow

sorry bout that, darkwing dear fellow.

just making sure it's A-OK before you play.

I hope more people post High Scores, then I could have a pre-populated hall of fame before the FINAL release which will feature the best scores of the people who tested it. If i've enough time left (<24 hours now) i'll script the level count to 50 to give you all more of a challenge.

PS.
I'm now on a NO-SLEEP TILL POSTED session as I want what I have of the game to look and play as sweet as possible. Oh, and I feel like a kid again, and tomorrows Christmas!! is this normal? hehe.

reeeeeeegards, geecee3
