Note: In this update, you may notice that the story progression that happens in the hangar starts back at the beginning with this update. We've updated the game's narrative significantly and this was a necessary change to avoid breaking certain things, but it may look a little confusing if you are playing on an old save.
NEW FEATURES/CONTENT:
- Added lots of new story content and dialog (primarily updates to the first part of Olivia's story). Get ready to dive deeper into Olivia's world and uncover more twists and turns in her journey.
- "?" nodes now give random rewards. The thrill of uncertainty is back! Who knows what you’ll uncover as you explore.
- Added a new "progress meter" system for several unlocks. Now you can track your progress in real-time and celebrate those milestones as you unlock new features.
- Rerolls are back! You can reroll once per level up - for a VP cost. If the upgrades aren’t to your liking, try your luck again and see what you get next.
CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Moved "Invert Y" option to default options screen to make it easier to find. Now, it’s more accessible.
- Changed how new characters are unlocked. The process is now smoother and more rewarding, so you can unlock characters with ease.
- Adjusted VP prices for most perks. We’ve fine-tuned the prices to give you better access to perks without breaking the bank.
- Reduced maximum effect of Longevity Enhancer to 50%. This change will keep things balanced while still allowing you to enjoy the benefits of the Longevity Enhancer.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed bug that prevented "Scrap limit" challenge from properly unlocking.
- Fixed bugs that prevented unlocking the Pulse Laser.
- Fixed bug where boss chunks could damage the ship.
- Fixed bug with Combo Missile Booster where it could trigger multiple times per zone.
- Fixed a visual FX bug related to invincibility powerup that made your ship disappear.
UPCOMING
- Complete story that progresses throughout each run. Look forward to even more story content that keeps you hooked as you advance.
- VO for conversations during the action. We’re adding voiceovers to make in-game dialogue more dynamic and immersive.
- Lots of balance and tuning (especially in act 3). Expect even more fine-tuning to ensure the game remains challenging and enjoyable.
