I get distracted easily, and especially since armorgames has offered to help provide artists and musicians for future projects, I'll probably take a few breaks from the XBLA version to finish some of the flash projects I dropped because I got tired of working on art for them.

The boss names were brilliantly absurd and I loved every one of them. Kudos, too, for your conscious attempt at making derivative works that feel different or extend the original idea by adding something new. That being said, I am interested in learning what you would describe as the inherent features of PPBB that extend EE? I'll be on the lookout for more work coming from you. Does this mean we won't be seeing any more prototypes until XBLA-PPBB sees the light of day?
