This is the master issues list for Attack from Mars. This thread is maintained to aid FarSight in exterminating gameplay bugs, art issues, and sound problems from AFM.
This thread is locked to keep it clean and focused on actual issues, as opposed to opinions about such issues. Report art issues in the Art forum, and all other issues in a new thread in this table's forum. I will add newly-reported issues to this thread at regular intervals. In addition, each bug has a link to the thread it was reported in; discussion of bugs should take place there.
