INSTRUCTIONS
Friend of mine has a YouTube channel and asked me on to show Droid SE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbH34KTXJvw), seeing a bit of renewed interest and having some feedback spurred me to revisit it and make some changes. Despite it being a lot less brutal than the original, people still have found it difficult, so have adjusted the amount of hits enemies take before dying. The door and locked barrier graphics stand out better now, and the status panel at the bottom is used to provide text such as the current area and when another part of the game map has been unlocked, plus prompts for the controls. The map on the pause screen is now more usable and the controls are listed on that screen too, and the music's been given a bit more pop!
