#update
Hello everyone,
Thank you for all the feedback! Ever since the gamejam, I've read each and every comment; taking note of all your ideas and bug reports. Thank you for the kind and helpful comments!
Today I'm releasing the first post-jam update (1.0.2), which focuses on two main things: the difficulty of the game (which was too low), and bugs.
The game difficulty is now higher, for example the bonus items are now reset at each level start, and the invaders are faster. Additionally, I fixed a lot of bugs and little glitches that should make for a better experience overall.
Here's the full changelog:
- added highscore
- added new bonus item: faster paddle
- added a little sleep effect on monster kill
- added particles to missiles
- polished level start/end
- fixed initial ball size
- fixed paddle and ball sizes not being reset on new levels
- fixed ball collisions with monsters and paddle
- fixed ball speed
- fixed invaders speed (they are now faster)
- lowered the bonus drop rate (1/5 -> 1/7)
- capped invaders max heath points to 9
- capped ammo to 10 and extra balls to 5
- added invaders animation (X flip)
- paddle isn't stuck to the bottom of the screen anymore
- lowered volume of invaders sfx
- removed "press x to shoot" message on bottom of the screen
