Good job!
I don't care what everyone else is saying. I think it's awesome! A great improvemet on the first! I love the early '90s arcade feel it has.
Yes, the combat can get a bit tedious at times, but it was hardly a fun-killer.
The only problem I had was in round 4/5, I killed all the octobots (or they quit coming, at least) and the game would never advance to round 5/5. Was this a one time glitch or did this happen to anyone else?
