It would be annoying to deplete your ammo and wait ten seconds for it to recharge, I'd rather wait about two seconds for it to replenish all of it. It would still make spam an obsolete strategy, and would compensate for the terribleness of the shotgun.<br /><br />Some personal gripes I have is a lack of any environment. It'd be nice to have some platforms to jump onto, and to have the perspective more distant or "zoomed out".", "user": "pinupopinion" }, { "id": "979245", "time": "1523223020", "html": "<div style=\"margin:20px; background-image:url(/images/light.png);\"><div style=\"border:1px solid #888; padding:5px;\"><a href=\"/users/eric616\">Eric-616</a> said:</div><div style=\"border:1px solid #888; padding:20px;\">The arcade section is locked for admins as far as I know.</div></div>Poppycock!<br /><br />Seconded the request for more terrain. Also, what about making hard mode slower but with more bullets in different directions? That would turn it into more of a bullet hell game. Right now the optimal strategy seems to be to jump back and forth between the highest and second-highest platforms. If the bullet patterns were more varied, it could encourage making use of more terrain.<br /><br />Also, it would be nice to see the boss's remaining health on the game-over screen.

The main change is that normal should be easier.<br />You can now select difficulties 1-9 with 3 being the last "canon" difficulty. No guarantee that anything higher is balanced or working.<br />Fireball speed is now slightly randomised making dodging less predictable.<br />Added a small platform to increase movement options to compensate. <br />Pressing "Q" in game returns to main menu.<br /><br />I think that's about it; thanks for the suggestions everyone.
