I've changed the graphics to fit more of a 16bit top down vibe, which is more easy to hide my inability to draw in. The biggest change apart from that is the new Grind Level system, wherein the random powerup drops from the pumpkins will increase your grind level by one. This translates to :
Level 1 standard speed of bullet and rate of fire
Level 2 Increased bullet speed
Level 3 Increased bullet speed and increased rate of fire
Level 4 Further increased bullet speed and rate of fire.
At the moment if you collect another powerup it puts you back down to level 1 and essentially breaks the system, but im pleased with the 'bloop' noise for when the grind level increases.
