Today’s update brings a solid upgrade to the ships! I added new propulsion visual effects at the back of each ship, adjusted to fit their individual shapes, plus a new ship shooting system with a crosshair. This is preparing the game for upcoming space missions where you’ll have to aim and shoot targets directly with your ship. Space Bots also react better to impacts now: instead of just being destroyed on the spot, they get blasted away when hit.
I also made several smaller improvements and fixes: better lighting in some biomes, fixes for climbing blocks that were making certain areas too dark, new smoke near the volcano, and a fix for the bug that prevented the third ship from unlocking because of a condition issue. Important note: if your save was already affected, you may need to replay the ring race by deleting your save to unlock the third ship. If you’d rather wait, I’ll try to fix this tomorrow so you don’t have to reset. Thanks again for playing, testing the updates, and sending feedback. New ship missions, puzzles, biomes, and improvements are coming soon!
