Lol, if the gameplay above looks a bit frantic it's because I'm rushing to save the ship after I had switched windows to press the Record button in GifCam.
Anyways, it shows off the latest two features: Improved Cruiser ship graphics (thanks to @another_blender_user on Instagram) and some fiery explosion effects that I made myself.
The explosions can use a little more work, but overall I think they turned out quite nice. The blasts appear at random points on the ship so that no two blasts are the same.
