I did the VUK fix as prescribed by Stern a few days ago and now the VUK works perfectly. Finishing off deadheads make sense with a well timed action button press. Once dialed in this game is so much fun!
Are the rooms supposed to differ in difficulty that much? I found the teens with the ray guns much easier to finish than say Manos. That room takes like 20+ shots to complete!
Also I wish the gargoyles on the screen would react to gargoyle hits, or somehow show which ones are left to hit to indicate progress. Incredible game so far!
