Hey Killer, just give me a pm, looks like you just don't remember what you wrote
as password. Also this game is like chuchu, the account is locked to your DC.
So you can't create another account, if you don't ask me nice to remove it :D

Just a quick tip for everybody, if you press X on either a player or game room, you will see info in the bottom right. Hence, you can see how many users are in the game room etc. So you don't need to jump around looking.

I've encountered a strange issue where my keyboard isn't working online. It worked in another game I tested, and I'm fully DMZ'd. Is it just not supported?

Hey PC, little unrelated but someone on a reddit post about the game coming online, said that he worked for SOA at the time and was one of the people who did a evaluation if it should be released in the west, might be false but interesting if its true

Since there's no manual for the game that you can consult, here's some useful info:

Controls:
Triggers - Move left and right
D-Pad - Aim & Decrease / Increase Power
A Button - Shoot
B Button - Switch Weapon (Mode B Only)
X Button - Nuke (Mode A Only)

Mode differences:

Game A:
- Slower Paced
- Random Events (UFOs, Sheep, Spiders, etc...)
- All Maps Used

Game B:
- Faster Paced
- Item & Money Drops
- Purchase Upgrades Between Rounds
- Gel Zone Map Only

To use a physical keyboard, you must have it plugged into port D. Press the Caps Lock button to quickly switch to English characters.
