I don’t quite know how it works yet, but you can now build your own bunker in Cortex Command.

Munin might also have been talking about the general difficulty of movement in the game.

It’s not as easy as soldat or liero, he’s right, however I’m glad they added “gimmicks” like a corrected physics system, building your own bunker (which is a core game feature) and AI rather than reducing the entry level skill required to play the game…

NAAAT! (Borat voice)

Makeshifter: I think he was talking about mouse control, specifically, cuz’ it’s kind a sticky. (I still use keyboard controls, personally)

TigSource ate my comment!

The Data Realms Dev Log comments are disturbingly enthusiastic, multiple exclamation marks and bodily juices flowing freely

Physics will always be hard to manipulate. Physics will always be fun to play with. Physics own you. There is no spoon.

I think it has great controls now. It’s not platformer-easy-to-move-and-jump but it’s not meant to be. And shooting needs some practise too, which is good thing.

This game is really pretty but I found it very painful to play, like a really hot stripper dentist pulling my teeth without novocaine.

It’s very playable indeed. If it only didn’t crash all the time, meh. Good thing is I’ve still got test build 14 on this computer.

For anyone who has played it, I have 2 questions:

1) I believe some units (the robots?) are meant to fire back autonomously, but in the last version they very rarely did, making them useless. has this been fixed?

2) 99% of the time the rocketship would crash rather than land, has this been fixed?

Cas: download the build and try it - the game is still in development, but already playable.

Also, note that you can place without the grid assist if you hold down the placement button before letting go.

it works like this (yes i’m bored): you place brain room with mouse, then select different pieces of bunker with a buy-menu interface (costs $$$), place them with the mouse, then you start playing. win win win
