Hello KingofCharge,

Thanks again for playing the pre-alpha of Comet Force a few month ago! I'm happy to let you know that I have now released a new alpha build directly on Steam, as a free public Playtest. If you give it a shot, I'd gladly read your feedback on the Steam forums!

Indeed there is an issue in the code here, thanks for reporting. It will be fixed by next patch.

Hello KingOfCharge, thanks for your feedback!

I agree with you about the balance discrepancy between the crusher and the two other classes. I see several solutions here, but I'm not sure what to choose yet, I will have to experiment with them and see how it feels.

• I could add a brief increased speed at the end of charges so that players can quickly go away and avoid the bullets
• I could add some sort on shield to make the back of the ship invincible, I think that's mostly where we get hit after a charge
• Stunning enemies as you mentioned is also a good idea.
• Increase the max health of crushers

But even with that, the safest would still probably be to have the crusher as a companion. Since the leader can take damage, but the companions do not, I feel every type of weapon that involves closer range and more risks will be a better fit for companions. And I'm not sure how to counteract that. I think it would be best for the game to have all classes be equally viable either as a leader or a companion (but obviously having different pros and cons for each). Balancing this will be challenging!

Hello! Thanks for reporting this, I indeed made a mistake when configuring the default bindings and swapped those two :/ This should now be patched! If you haven't changed the bindings already, you can click on the button to reset all controls to default in the options menu.
