About Online Play:
This has been a very tough few weeks for me, coding the online section of this game, because I've never done socket programming before, and I only have 1 PSP. I wish to thank all my beta testers for their continued patience and help:
Produkt
PSMonkey
LordSturm
Daurnimator
Malkster

If you wish to host, or are having connection problems, you need to forward port 55555 TCP and 55556 UDP on your router.

Online play is currently only 2 player, due to lag, but once the engine is improved, I hope to add up to 16 players.
The server gets to set 'upload' speed. The lower the value, the more times information is sent. Lower the value if the game seems to jump along. Raise the value for greater stability.
This online play is experimental, so may not be 100% stable (not sure anything is 100% stable) but I hope you'll enjoy the addition.

About downloadable levels:
There is currently only one new level to download, so if you've created a cool new level, post it here, and I might add it to the download service.

About replays:
To save a replay:
Press Square at the mission complete screen
Press Square whilst at the pause screen
Press Square in multiplayer when you have completed the level, and it zooms out.
To play a replay:
Go to 'view replay' on the main menu and move left and right to select desired replay. If the one you want is not there, press square to recache the directory.

If you've got a great replay, share it with us, and post it here!
