and some things i forgot to mention in the help file or are confusing.to win the game you have to reach a perfect score of 100 .If you go over you lose .If you just need one point and you cant by shooting a bubble there should be a button in the bottom right of the screen . But clicking it will decrease your final score but will give you an extra 1 point to your energy bar . lol my bad sorry :b

It's a cool little game, 01DT!m3r. ^_^

I do suggest providing a background for the player's current time and score, as I, at least, am finding it a little tricky to read the green text against the game backgrounds.

*chuckles* The sound effects are quite amusing - I like them. The purple explosion is also pretty cool. ^_^

The interface is much easier to read now - thank you. ^_^

Hmm... given that the "bullets" seem to travel faster now, perhaps it would be a good idea to have the "bubbly bubbly" sound loop begin earlier - at the moment I'm not hearing much of it when firing at the lower levels.

As to the explosion that accompanies the destruction of a number bubble, I think that the blue spark is a little small - I rather liked the original purple explosion, to be honest. Given the change in background colour, however, perhaps a colour other than dark purple would be in order.

On the matter of the background, I think that it looked better with the original background - perhaps, instead of changingthe entire background, it might be better to simply provide a few strips of black to back the text that you're printing to the screen, or move that text away from the main game screen.

I quite like the floating menu buttons - they add to the fun, casual feel of the game, I think.

Like |-|1Pp13, I would like to have a "back" button of some sort available in the multiplayer menu.

All in all, however, nice work thus far. ^_^

Good update. How exactly do you exit the game though? ^_^ An have you considered making the game fullscreen. I won't comment on the graphics, I'm sure you're leaving that for last. :)

yes i am making the game full screen but when its finished this way i can test if it works multiplayer on the same pc . . . oh and there should be a big X in the bottom left of the main menu . . . . . and to get back to the menu just push esc

oldtimer you forgot the file extension

EDIT: adding an ".exe" doesn't work either :p

Aha! It would appear to be a .rar file (or something that ZipGenius will read when the file extension is .rar). ^_^

I rather like the new graphical feel, and some of the graphics are quite good. ^_^

The exit icon, turret, targeting cursor (which I rather like) and bubbles all seem to have some extraneous pixels surrounding them, however. I'm don't think that the red text works very well against the greys used in the bubbles and turret - it is legible, but not entirely pleasant on the eye. I would suggest darkening the interiors of these elements by having their gradients ascend to a darker tone than they currently do.

I also think it a bit of a pity that the turret doesn't have a directable "barrel" of some sort...

Finally, I still think that the sound used for the bubble in motion should start a little earlier - one gets to hear too little of it, I feel.

All in all, however, I like most of the alterations that you have made. ^_^

ooh a rar works! thanx! also agree with the red on grey and the sounds and the turrets

also does there have to be so many bubbles?

Also would it be interesting to have a 1/2 thrown in there somewhere? :p
