    Thanks a lot for the feedback!

    Yeah, the difficulty progression used to be on like 70% of the first racing category and it was really steep, while now it covers the first 2 racing categories.

    Glad to hear you like it! We'll try to start a little discussion to find other funny pilot names for the category S.

    You mean that it becomes easier after grinding and buying a new boat/upgrading or that the difficulty progression from race to race feels a bit uneven? It's tough to have a linear progression tough because of the random factor involved (guns and lower AI early on).

    When I was stuck, it was because I needed to upgrade/buy a new boat or I had to become familiar with race due to some obstacles/waves.

    I was hesitant in pointing that out because I think it would be hard to change that.

    Especially since having to upgrade/buy new boats and learn track is part of the intended experience. Lots of adjustments can be done if the progression is too uneven, I'll PM you.

    We're trying to have funny names for the pilots. They refer to famous characters but with a twist in their name which refers either to the sea, race or battle. Here's some of the funnier we have:

    - Harry Bumper
    - Orlando Boom
    - Dr. Emmett Blown
    - Robb Spark
    - Canoe Reeves
    - Bruise Willis
    - Indiana Jaws
    - Marlin Brando
    - Franken Steam
    - Opra Windshield
    And so on...

    We're still looking for funny names, so if you have an idea, please shoot it!

    We're trying to put the final pieces together in preparation for the second phase of beta, which hopefully will start in about 1 week. The new wave of 20+ people who applied should expect an email soon :D

    Just made a full pass on all boats to polish the pixel art. In the process, I added 4 new boats:

    Getting close to a wrap-up for class A. There will be 30 races in this category and it will introduce the active systems/double weapons as well as the carnage race mode.

    The second wave of beta is just around the corner. I already sent confirmation emails to people who were interested. That's probably the last chance to register for that wave through Testflight
