I have decided to make an improved version of this game. here is a wip of the 1st 2 levels. It is 341 frames ahead of gathers published movie. It plays arcarde mode on hardest difficulty with faster smarter enemies just like the published movie. I am using GENS9z for the recording. Any feedback would be much appreciated :)

I liked the 2nd boss fight. Did you actually damage the boss off-screen or did you just waste the ammo to save time after the level? Good luck with the rest of it!

I just wasted the merc in order to not have a merc bonus. 1) the boss isn't damaged until the red health blocks appear 2) Mercs only do 3 damage every 2 frames on this boss (on the first boss it was possible to do 20 initial damage + 3 every two frames). 3) The upgraded regular weapon does 4 damage so it was faster than using mercs.

Although I don't rate movies much, the currently published version currently ranks as my lowest. I'm glad that you're trying to improve it, but I dunno if the entertainment value will increase much. I'm sure you'll make the best out of what the game gives you, though. I'll try to watch the WIP a little later.

Hehm, when I read this I though you had killed off the player in order to save time somehow. Then i realized you meant the Mega Crash bombs. (The solider is called a Merc, as in mercenary.) Looked good to me... perhaps you can go around the tank instead of crashing into it, and keep the jeep longer?

Actually, it isn't possible without waiting a long time for the tank to move out of the way, and even then it is impossible on the next one. So regardless, it is much slower to keep it.
