All gameplay features work perfectly.

This version is noticeable much faster as I am getting about 20fps more compared to the previous one! However, under many particles on screen I am still getting low as much as 15fps which makes gameplay fun suffer a bit. On the Sawtoorh with AGP 2X 9800Pro I range something between 35 - 15 fps depending on the amount of enemies. Previous version was 8-24 max. Heh, is it time to upgrade? I wonder how Mirari would perform on this one..
