Some of those levels are big, and take a long time to complete, with alot of repetative actions. The game is very addictive and I can find myself playing for hours
Plus, I've a feeling some hold designers are going to be going roach queen happy...
My fingers sometimes feel the strain. To that end, I would like the option, ingame, to record and play back simple key combinations (Q-W to swing left, right; 4-6 to step left, right; or maybe something slightly more complex like 8-4-3-8 )
There would be 3 keys. Start recording, stop recording, play macro. Pressing stop recording would display the list of keys recorded in the message window.
I don't believe this would detract from the game. On the one hand, it would be less likely that the player die from a simple key slip when taking on hundreds of roaches/tar babies etc. On the other, the player would have to think extremely carefully about what, exactly, to record, and when to use the macros. A mistake could lead to automatic death. It might take some of the fun away from triumphing over a horde of ravenous bugs though, if the net result is I only need to press the same key over and over to wipe them out.
Thoughts? Good/bad? Practical or more trouble than it's worth?
