  Was pretty fun for that type of game.  A few crits are:1) The menu system could be better.2) The wind hardly changes the missle and it changes back and forth way to fast.3) After killing the guy (his health bar was gone and he wasn''t on the screen) missles continued to fly at me.4) The turret on the mech thing should move to match the angle.Best of luck :D ;  Thank you for the reply. We plan to update the Beta release twice a week until the final release date (which we have narrowed down to somewhere near the close of the month). I would like to clarify a little of the feedback if possible.1) How so? The artwork or the gameplay or the motion or a combination of the three?2) Wind has been modified not to change more than once within a turn.3) Repaired. The victory conditions were off. 4) We are currently working on Bitmap rotation. As you know it is difficult to do in Direct X without hardwear support (which is not to common). If anyone has an easy solution to the roation problem then please post it... otherwise we will continue to develop the rotation with our current library (which has met some roadblocks).Thank you again for your feedback and I hope that you will download future releases and continue to aid us with your feedback.-Premonition Studios   Visit the Premonition Studios Web Site----------------------------------------------- ;  1) All three.2) Sweet.  Make sure it also effects the missle a bit more as well.3) :D4) Wish I could help ya, but i can''t =\Looking forward to the finished one ;  Update: an updated Beta has been uploaded to the site. This version includes the following:1) Sound!2) Many minor bug fixes(NOTE: The wind is still not repaired... forgot to add to second release.
