Some questions and comments...

[Bert]

First off I would like to say this game rox my sox Blitwise, GREAT JOB!!!. Anyway there are a couple of questions I have about the game. What is the laser bar meter do at the bottem, what benifits do you get from upgrading it? What the bar directly to the right of it do, I think it's called the energy meter, I forgot, and what benifits do you get from upgrading it? Finally I really don't understand the need for different wepons. They all do the same thing they just clear the board in like one second. Sure they add a bit a variety to the game, but maybe you should make some less powerful than others. Like maybe destroy all enemies that you can see on the screen, and not all enimies on the whole board. Or maybe destroying all enimies of a certain color, it would destroy whichever color has the most ammount. Well anyway its a great game, congrats on the completion Blitwise!
P.S. I have the demo version, so maybe the wepons are different in the full.

Hi Bert,

As the laser bar meter increases so does your firing rate (so you can fire more shots at enemies). Every time you go up to a new weapon level (which fires more bullets) you have to increase the laser bar meter some more to recover your firing rate.

The power meter (to the right of the laser bar meter) increases the damage your weapons do to the enemies. At the start of a colour zone one shot will destroy an enemy, but as time goes on enemies 'Level Up' and take more shots before they die. Powering up the weapons makes it easier to destroy them.

As for the weapons, they are pretty different, in the full game you have weapons such as shield which makes you invunerable for a short time. You can also freeze all the enemies on the screen or use the orbit weapon to try to destroy any enemies that come close.

If you take a look in the Help section from the title screen you will be able to find more information about the different meters, the weapons and the enemies.

Ok, that clears things up, thanks
