Radar glitching
Leland Smith
usually prefer games that take up short spurts of my time as opposed
to not being able to put it down! :-) The multi-player looks to have
some promise. I saw a demo on a 2v2 game running. Cooperative play
sounds very intriguing. Some questions or issues:
1. I notice the radar pop off and on occasionally. Is this a glitch
or does it have to do with the jamming feature I read about in
another post? If it is radar jamming, what other indicators do you
have that it is happening?
2. I release soldiers in mid air only to see them drop to their
death. I see enemy heli drop paratroopers then fly off. What am I
missing here.
3. when a convoy reaches the enemy side they just roll off the edge
of the screen do these troops count in the funds recovery at the end
of a level?

It's a blast, for more information, read this (especially the comments):

Yes. The when your helicopter nears enemy vans your radar goes out.

Armor Alley is an ancient game. Back in the day, games had to have
content. Part of Armor Alley's content is figuring out the details.
They are mini-puzzles that make you stronger as you learn the game.
A lot of people don't realize it, but there is huge satisfaction in
figuring things out.

If you drop them off higher, their parachutes will have more time to
open. Of course, some parachutes will fail. It's safer to land first.

No.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
