thanks for the reply! And the video is definitely helpful, though I still don’t know if I quite get the upgrade system. I’m going to play around with it a bit and let you know what I find

Thanks to you :-)
So for the Skills, drag & drop them in the slots to the left or to the right.
The blue and red bars in the middle form a value of 4 in total. You can have minimum 1 as value for one colour and therefore 3 as max for the other.
Once you have two Skills aligned at the same height you can click the one to the left to increase the blue bar or click the one to the right to increase the red bar. As the theme said "Less is more" so less of one Skill is more for the other.
Said that, keep in mind these points:
- HP it can go from 1 to 3.
- Armour (from 1 to 3) it helps to reduce the damage from enemies, so if an enemy deals 2 Damage and you have Armour 1, you will suffer 1 HP damage. If your max (or your current value) HP is 1, you will die. If you still have some lives left, you will respawn.
- Damage (from 1 to 3), some enemies have no armour, but others yes, so if you deal low damage, their armour could nullify your attack. Also, enemies have HP going from 1 to 3 as well.
- Bullets (from 1 to 3), this is how many bullets you spawn. If you pick the Flamer (icon with 3 red circles of different size), the higher the bullet the further the flamer can reach. If you pick the Barrier (yellow circle icon), your Bullets value determine the enemy bullets stopped. (If your Bullets value is 2, the barrier destroys enemy bullets with Damage of 1 or 2, but will let pass the ones that deal 3 Damage).
- Speed (it adds a bonus to your base speed). The more points you give to Speed, the faster you move.
- Jump (it adds a bonus to your base jump). The more points you give to Jump, the higher you can go.
Once all the Skills are set you can click confirm to go to the weapon selection.
In the weapon section, you can pick and test any Standard Weapon (from bottom row) and Special Weapon (from top row).
You must select one of each before being able to go to the start and play the game.
In this section, you can test as much as you want the Special Weapons, but keep in mind that in the game, the amount is limited to 12 and the value is shared among all players.
As another participant told me, Player 3 and Player 4 input are inverted, so make sure to read them in the opposite way as they are written.
Sorry about that.
If you have still issues, please give me details and I will be happy to help you more specifically :-)
Thank you! :-)
