I keep rocking out to "a bit unfettered by the unknown." (overworld music after you hit a certain point) is there any chance we'll see eternal blue nall? I live this one so much!

I dont think ive posted impressions on this game, but i just cant take the bad controls on this one. Sorry... I loved the original, but cant even seem to like how this one plays.

Will they be fixed? And once again...

Is there any filtering or pixel smoothing going on? Could you do something like DotEmu did for Metal Slug 3? That looks absolutely brilliant when filtering/smoothing is disabled.

I've played through the game three times now on iOS and I literally have no idea why people are complaining about the controls so much, other than that tap to move is pretty useless due to the inability to navigate around obstacles. I have never had too much trouble getting my party to where I need them to go using the virtual joystick.

Yes, there is filtering going on, although we're planning to add options to customize it. That said, WHICH Metal Slug 3 filtering option are you referring to?

He's talking about the absence of smoothing -- the option that let you disable the filtering and see the actual pixels instead of blurry ones.
I myself would love to see something like that on Lunar too. I always disable filtering in pixel-art-powered games whenever possible.

Yes! Beat xenobia with the game freezing! Thanks nall
EDIT: now the game crashes when I fight ghaleon

To be fair... trying to play the game held horizontally (which the psuedo joystick interface) is nigh unplayable in my opinion. Hard to select things underneath the buttons... you often click the screen and start moving there instead of triggering the joystick... etc.

Exact-Psience have you tried the other control scheme though? Holding it vertically so you get the D-pad works great in my opinion and also makes the game itself look a lot sharper (since it's in a smaller window better suited for the original art it appears). It's the only way I play now and it works great.

Are you playing the latest build?

[picohero]

Yeah, I'm on the latest build. It's crashed three times do far.
