Invader Attack game updated to v1.1.0
People who had joypads were able to reach higher levels more quickly as the laser was faster for them. This was a programming bug and its fixed now. On top of all the small fixes, there are a couple of new features demanded by many players. Speed of the laser you shoot is much faster now and you control the rate of fire, which means that if you press the fire button faster, you will shoot laser more often. The laser power-up now speeds up the laser speed not the rate of fire.
Hopefully after this update, I'll be able to fully focus on the next game which is already approx. 1/3 completed. Game music is fully finished, some of game graphics and animations are completed as well. I'll try to implement the most of the features you suggested, but as some of them are opposite, its not possible to meet all the wishes. Game screeshots and, probably, one sample game video will be posted in 3-4 weeks from now, if everything goes as planned. I'm still open to suggestions for the next game, so feel free to contact me. The strangest suggestion I got was to put the next game up for some kind of pre-order or pre-paid payment option with a very low price, few bucks. But, since this was only suggested by one player, I'm not sure if that would work. I do need money to keep me going developing more games, unless there's a couple of thousand interested, I could see myself putting $1 as a pre-paid or pre-order price. People who support development deserve a generous discount.
Also my host's SSL certificate expired today, I'm sure they'll fix it soon, but until then its safe for you to proceed even if you get notification about 'This Connection is Untrusted' trying to login or register for the support account. The certificate expired today.
