Good Day Friends!!
The promised patch is finished! Please play it and leave us some feedback! These changes were applied from player feedback so far.
Here's what you can expect in this patch.
GUI Updates:
The HUD elements have been updated in full.
Player HP Bar has been fully reworked visually. I hope this better represents your HP bar and status being more eye catching.
Added HUD element to show what weapon power you have equipped.
Added some coloration to HUD elements for better readability.
Power ups:
The homing missile and sniper shots have been adjusted.
Homing missile will still be powerful, but no where near the first iteration. Speed has been adjusted. It will still be the stronger power to have, but you will still need to work around enemies as they have a higher health pool.
The Sniper shot has been made stronger. This weapon can pierce and always have potential to one shot enemies (minus the boss of course), but it fires pretty slow until at max weapon power.
Standard shot is unchanged, spread shot is unchanged.
Speed up power up slightly adjusted to be more tame. First iteration got you a little too fast zipping around like the flash.
Enemies:
Enemy spawning has been adjusted. I hope this adjustment eases players into the infinite loop.
Each enemy type will spawn at a certain time interval until all enemy types are spawning.
ALL enemy's (Boss included) now scale with player power level. This means enemies won't become trivial even at max power with some weapons. They will still take a few hits to destroy. I aim to not trivialize the game play so quickly
That's it for this update! The next update we aim to add a few more bosses to the loop, possibly other enemy types.
This next content update we aim to put out asap. Animation takes a looooong time, so I hope no longer than about two weeks for what I have planned if time allows. Another post will be made as we have a better idea when extra content will be finished.
Thanks everyone for playing so far!
