Re: FLASH: Protolob game

[brzys]

Well I was most entertain for about 15 minutes of lobbing that ball out

there at those satellites Glen, thank you!


One suggestion, for the 3 bouncing sounds, as it bounces less, make the

sound, not as loud giving it the effect of 1. less bounce and 2. it's

bouncing away from you in the distance. It will add ambiance to the already

really nice graphics you have in the game. Giving it that 3D effect in sound

as well as in graphics.


cYa,


Mary Brzys
