...yes, it's small, but I decided that the boss for the second-to-last level should be inspired by the final from Mischief Makers.

Sadly, there are only so many ways to draw a mech's head, and Megazords take too many cues from Transformers.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

There. MUCH better.

In The Future, space jets come with their own air-to-space rockets, and consume less liquid fuel. They might need to drop the rocket fuel tank, but at least it's not a giant cylinder. It's a big wedge instead.

It helps to draw another angle. Can't say it's great, but if this thing is launching into space, another angle helps make the sequence work.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

...and here's the wind-up frame.

It only appears for four frames, and each animation state has its own proprietary wind-up setup, so the animation continues to flow.

Also, now I have incentive for guns, but probably need a fourth button for punches only.

Coming soon to another update.

Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.

I didn't want to work on that one boss, so I'm working on the scoring system. Yes, I'm gonna dock points for losing lives.

As for why the old convention level's in the background, it's the easiest level to test.

Okay, so maybe looking up how NASA does shuttle launches isn't the best solution, but it's at least less '50s than a Flash Gordon-style rocketship.

I never said perspective was my strong suit, but I'll try, anyway.
