Though things have been progressing slowly recently (what with college applications and all that), I've built up a bit more steam. The newest addition to the gameplay is the attacking feature. Attacks can be picked up by shooting certain powerups, and they affect the gameplay negatively for the other player. Here's a glimpse of one of the attacks, which blocks enemy bullets (but not your own).

On the subject of skins, though, I have a question to ask: how do you get the host commands button (the one that lets you open & set server status) on a custom interface, or, if not possible, convert it in to a verb?
