SUBJECT: RE: These demos rock!
As sad as it seems to post a "Plasmaroids II - Strategy guide" there was one thing I figured out pretty damned quickly... it's a lot easier if you restrict yourself to only shooting the 'roids that are moving towards you, when you do that, they slow down.

Fire a stream of bullets into a 'roid that's moving away from you, and you'll speed it up considerably...

Will there ever be a Plasmaroids 3? I dread to think what cunning things could be thought up for the trequel...
