Apparently computer manufacturers are always looking at ways to cut costs. My Laptop keyboard cannot register if I press the left arrow+down arrow+z keys at the same time - This makes playing Attack of the Meeplings very difficult!

However, I’m planning to release version 2.0 of AOTM within the next week, it will have an autofire option, instead of holding down the z key - Just press A once to enable autofire mode, c’mon you pretty much fire all the time anyway, so why not have that automated for you.

Version 2.0 will also feature a much needed easy difficulty mode I’m not sure if I should build a separate highscore table for easy mode, or just not allow posting highscores if you play on easy…

The other improvement to the game will be to get rid of the occasional random pause that happens sometimes. It looks like I’m making the java garbage collector do too much work with adding/removing hundreds of enemies/bullets/particles etc into and out of ArrayLists - As you can imagine the memory manager has a bit of a hard time keeping up.

Look for Attack of the Meeplings 2.0 coming soon!
