I think the select button is not used in Nintendo games often enough. Game developers tend to use the d-pad to highlight a choice. Which is why I originally used select to cycle through the fighters in the selection screen. But I got some feedback, a lot of it, and I am back working on Insecticide. One of the things I did was remove the select button to cycle through the fighters. You now use left and right. Which means you can go backwards and not have to go through 7 fighters again in case you missed the one you wanted. I must admit this is a lot easier to choose a fighter. But it was a pain trying to code it in so it does that. Another thing I did was I added an outline to the "you won/lost" message so it can be read on probably every background. And again, this does look a lot better. Some other feedback I got was to add another type of attack besides a punch. This is the stumper. What should it be? While I think about if I should change that or not, the guy on PVB took the time to write a better website for the game. Not that there was very much to the webpage. So now I'm kinda burned out with the VB now. I guess it's time for another monthly hiatus
