Kirk congratulations.
A great start - and now you get to go through the famous #stella gameplay
optimisation process :)
I currently find it almost completely uncontrollable - movement is way too
rapid. I'm playing with Z26. I'd like to see gravity about half of what it
is now (or less!) and have much less powerful flaps (about 1/10th!). I'd
really like to have to pump that button like crazy to overcome a freefall,
but yet have long enough to really do it.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
A
