Winstick
A downloadable game for Windows

Content:

  • The player can now lob grenades that deal damage in an area and knockbacks enemies.
  • You start with 3 and can find more during gameplay.
  • Holding the right mouse button previews the grenade's area of effect, and shows how many grenades you currently have
  • An item to increase grenade explosion size has been added.
  • There's now a chance for scrap to drop as a pile worth 3 scrap.
  • Stuns have been added to the game. You can briefly stun enemies on impact.
  • An item to increase the stun duration has been added.
  • Stunned enemies will not damage the player.

Visuals:

  • Main menu has received a visual overhaul.
  • The crosshair is now more visible.
  • Some visual flare has been added to certain areas.
  • An additional element has been added to the crosshair to show how the dodge cooldown is progressing.
  • A temporary guide icon now leads you back to the store after the first wave.
  • The keybinds overview in the intro room has been updated.
  • Outlines are now more prominent

Shop:

  • The shop has been completely redesigned and overhauled to now allow the player to browse and choose an item before purchase.

Balancing and changes:

  • The player collision was far too large in the last update, it is now much smaller.
  • A retry button has been added to the pause menu.
  • The difficulty ramp has been adjusted to better fit the rate at which you gain items.
  • Links to bug report and giving feedback has been added.
  • The Gyro has been rebalanced, it now equally increases dash duration and decreases dash speed and doesn't create erratic ratios when combined with multiple dash boosts.

Other:

  • Crates and barrels are now breakable.
  • The weapon fire SFX has been overhauled to be more impactful.

Fixes:

  • Aiming and moving with controller no longer snaps to the center of each axis.
  • The default loadout would have the appearance of being locked the very first time the game is started, this has been fixed.
  • A bug where you could unpause the game without closing the menus has been fixed.
  • An issue where the controller would try to navigate a menu that has not yet been opened in the main menu has been fixed.
  • Clicking buttons that opens web links with controller will no longer force your mouse to be centered outside of the game.
  • The trail behind bullets did not end properly, this has been fixed.
  • Enemies would also gain movement speed if the player used a faster loadout, this has been fixed.
  • The visuals for the dodge cooldown would still count down while the game was paused, this has been fixed.
  • One of the keybinding overviews were accidentally replaced with the wrong graphic, this has been addressed.
  • Some sound effects weren't affected by the volume sliders, this has been fixed.
