Ideas for new content.

So I finished the Android version's campaign and while I always did enjoy Squad Assault on the PC version, it's not really well suited to portable devices such as smartphones and tablets. Maybe tablets since I guess most people play tablet games at home. People like me who play it on their smartphones though are rarely if ever going to play through Squad Assault. I would love to see something like the Extra content that was added to the PC version on Android as it seems well suited to short intense play sessions.
Basically some sort of mode where we get a large amount of starting money and some sort of randomly generated mazes to get through would allow people who are standing in line to get up and running quickly, having some fun for the 5 minutes they're waiting.
An idea for further in the future would be to add a level designer in a sequel to the PC version and let the community make you a bunch of maps. Then allow the maps to be targeted towards PC or Android or even both (since the tower differences aren't huge). Adding some sort of import feature to a sequel to the Android version would go a long ways towards adding in replayability without you having to go make a bunch of levels yourself.
Oh and multiplayer on an Android sequel would have me shoving money your way pronto, though I think I would want more single player content on Android more than anything else. Multiplayer is much bigger on the PC side for me personally.
