So, iām enjoying it this one that it was started at all from developmenting like days shortly but eventually imagine if weāre getting the difficulties feature to pick before starting an run that it would be awesome on it!

Can you add the CI1 download link to the āDownload CIUā topic? (yes I know it isnāt CIU but it will be accessed easier)
I like how people dealt with this remaster as a meme tool before experiencing it first.

some more observations:
I always thought the chicken invaders font was Impact, but I guess it isnāt.
There are some unused (?) sounds that Iāve never seen before. What were these? (4snd008, aoo-gah, autogun, FX32, FX39, ricochet, Shot1)
The code for egg movement seems like it was changed, because now it is possible for eggs to move up instead of down on the minus waves. Sometimes they can even lay an egg that doesnāt move at all. If you get one like that, only a game over will remove it, and if itās in your movement area then itās guaranteed death if you want to move to the other side. This also affects asteroids but there are no minus waves with them.
Images from testing that:
Cheating still qualifies for a high score, but it was like that in the original game as well, not sure why
also no context

Bug: if you skip the cutscene at the beginning of the game, the music that accompanies it will not stop playing when you start a new game
Intended.
Also for people that only use keyboards, you canāt actually fire. And no, it isnāt the space bar. (well the keybind wasnāt preloaded, you have to set it up yourself unlike the other controls)
???
Spacebar works fine on my side.
technically it wasnāt like this in the original, where the music would stop when you press fire on the keyboard

oh right -_-
I have a question will you add official online leaderboards like in the episodes?
Hmmmā¦Thatās odd.
You might need to add a heart and missile counter my guy.
and gameplay feels slow, you might want to make it faster (game is locked on 30 FPS)
you can also turn off the music in the gameplay to make it closer to the OG game.
Other than that though, this remaster is absolutely amazing!

Thatās how original works.
My only complaint is that āmeloriseā sound is not used any more (and there is no shine on the logo). And that CI4 Earth just looks out of place.
My second only complaint: switching from keyboard to mouse results in mouse being wherever it was. Not as critical as it would be in CI4 but there is a chance to get hit by accident due to this.
And probably there seem to be some issues with fire particles, like the ones going from hitting Earth. But I have to switch to Windows 7 to confirm this.

The spacecraft is not centred most of time, and these lightning issues which were hidden by the low resolution of original game are now apparent. Besides, the network predictor circle is way too opaque, I think. Maybe reduce its opacity a bit not to be that much out of place?
Another issue, these, as I said before.
There is something going completely wrong in their animation. Might be related to the last issue: the game feels slower than original. Not sure how. Iāve launched Windows 7 and put the ship to the leftmost part of the screen, then held the right button and used a clock timer to measure the speed of it. Results:
ā¢ 2 s 430 ms in Remastered
ā¢ 2 s 360 ms in original
And no, thatās definitely not the measurements mistake. Iāve made it several times and compared the results. Original CI1 just feels smoother, not sure why exactly. Maybe the FPS was not 25 after all?
And to be fair, the new Space Burger in CI1 just feels out of place.
And finally, you canāt shoot with keyboard without taking controls off from the mouse.

I agree, I suggest using the one from CI2 Remastered, it looks more nostalgic and doesnāt clash with the style.

Yeah, new Space Burger and Earth look very clashing.
Was this seriously done in just a few days? Holy shit thatās amazing, also really love the remix, just wish i didnāt have to be forced to play in 4:3.
