I really appreciate you not giving up on this yet.

I found a bug in the latest beta upload to the zone that fix the gfx corruption error.
When the ship is captured it will not be released to be used for 2 bullets.

Just tested capture+shoot boss and got the extra ship.

Hmmm. Was there more boss ships left when it worked for you?

edit: Tried again now. When there is one boss left it is working. The bug is if there is more than 1 boss ships left I guess.

edit: I got 2 bosses with color purple and extra ship worked. I guess it must be when there are 3 or 4 left.

no. If you can make a video that'd be nice.

Sorry I did not capture when I shot the boss but you see my extra ship on top there. It is hard to play while filming with cell phone.
I could always put up my camera on stand but that must be tomorrow if needed.

I have no idea if that could be an issue and probably not but it was the 2nd time I played the game without quiting to WB.

I also noticed that when the boss came down to beam without being shot 1 time (change color to purple) when I then shot the boss first time to capture my ship, the music started to play fast.

That behaviour is expected and is present in the original game too. After a while the red ship attacks you and doesn't return. But you're supposed to let it go as it returns in the next stage!

To get double shot you have to shoot the boss when it's attacking. Not when it's in the swarm.

Jord: ok, thanks for the explanation.

Exactly, else the captured ship say bye-bye

And yes, at some point there was a bug there. But I fixed it. I completely forgot (or did I even see it?) that if you let the lone rogue ship go, it returns in the next level; where you can retrieve it.

I think most people shoot it instead of letting it go, but that's a mistake.

This game is really clever. They put a lot of dedication into it. Just awesome for the time.
