Q: Why are there only 2 levels?
A: The game is still in heavy development. As the code changes over time, the levels may need to be re-done. To save re-work, only a small number of levels are included at the moment.
Q: Are there known bugs, if so, why?
A: There are some known bugs in this version. However, I ran out of time to fix them before NCFC this year.
Q: Will the graphics be improved?
A: Yes. Much of this year was spent re-writing the whole graphics code. While it's more robust (and now works on phones) it's still a bit basic in a lot of places.
Q: What phones/browsers does this work on?
A: The game is only tested in Chrome. While Firefox, Opera, IE9+ and Safari should work, these aren't regularly tested. Support for Internet Explorer 7/8 has been dropped. While it works on phones, only the iPhone4S has been tested. The screen size on other devices might impact gameplay. (The iPhone 4s is an exact multiple of the GBA screen size, which is why it works the best)
Q: Is there going to be sound?
A: Even though the game has dropped IE support (allowing browsers that can play sounds). Sound is still a low priority. It makes the loading times longer, and takes away from other features that are planned.
Q: What are these "other features"?
A: The main page will become an overworld map. Instead of simply selecting a level, players can roam the world and fight in an MMO-like environment. People who are offline can leave their character on the map, which will act much like AI-controlled trainers in Pokemon games. Obviously, there is a lot of work to make this happen, so it's quite a distant prospect at this stage.
Q: Can I choose classes?
A: Currently there is no way to change your classes. This feature has been tested to work, but there's no visible menu to do it.
Q: Can I view the enemy stats?
A: No. The stats display was removed when the graphics were re-done. It has yet to be re-added.
