I certainly understand where you're coming from, but if the game's too difficult, it gets to a point where your fastest reflexes won't help you out for long. Since Q9 is Philip's most recent game, let's use it as an example.You set game to insane and start walking around. at some point during

Hi Yohandy, Designing difficulty levels is not as easy as it may seem to the player. In Q9, as simple a game as it is, still has almost 25 different variables that need to be adjusted and balanced for a difficulty level. This includes the size of pits, the speed of each enemy, the attack

Hi Phillip. Now, I have a question. It seems to me that if you want to balance the game, and if the problem with enemies is that there are too many of them, could you, say, add an attack for the player that his everything on screen and knocks them back to give a bit of breathing room, but

I certainly understand Philip. and my email wasn't necessarily targeted at your games, but since your q9 thread started the discussion I just used them as an example. can't wait to try out the new changes! I'd ask how can we unlock the laser, but you'll probably be evil and not tell us hahaha.

See Clement? This is why I respect your ideas. In fact if this happens we probably wouldn't even need the laser. I also agree that we'd need more health items. that's actually part of the problem. Items generate at the same rate on any difficulties. Man you're a genius. Hopefully Philip will
