I haven't run into that yet (I'm using the OS X version, it's probably a bit different), but yeah, it's a great game -- it just needs an options menu and multiplayer.

Ever noticed how when you knock down somone on Black Shades, for a moment they dissapear when getting up?

Well, if you knock down the VIP, and you lunge ontop of him just when he dissapears, it will delete him, then the assassins go wild and run through buildings :D

Nope, try it, it might take a few tries to get the timing right, but the VIP will dissapear for a second when he starts getting up, and if you land on him at that time he is deleted.

*cough cough*
"Take a screen for us?" is a polite way to say that I don't have Black Shades, or a Mac for that matter.

Bleh, not having Black Shades is bad enough, but you don't even have a Mac?! Zip, don't give it to him! Tell him everything about it to get his curiosity to the point where he explodes, but by all means, DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM!

*shrugs*

Whatever. Isn't like it's a critical thing to see it.
'sides, isn't my fault I don't have a Mac. It all goes down the chain from what my dad has to program on which leads to what he has to have at home to what the LAN is configured to handle to "Get the PC and play multiplay with brother, or get Mac and sit around and be bored for entire lifetime"

Addition:
I'd rather be running the Altimit OS, but y'know, it just isn't 2005 yet.

I have an azerty keyboard and...

...and I would like to be able to change the control keys.
I suppose you're planning to do this someday.

About the polygons, I think it's a part of the game to have simple polygons. I think it's better like this.

This game is very good. There are very good ideas in it.

...and I like to play inverted mouse

please add it, at least in the command line or in a configuration file, later.

I'm glad you like it 8) I am not planning on changing the original Black Shades, but if/when I make a sequel it will definitely have configurable controls and an inverse mouse option and maybe a fishlord if I can figure out what that is.

Online play would kick serious ass. Please put it in the next game.

Woot.

Woot again. But if it is ported and there's multiplayer, you need to make it cross platform. But you could also have some segregation -- make it so you can choose whether or not to connect to a PC or Mac server :P
