New Advanced Level Releasing April 30th!

Greetings!

We are really excited to release first Advanced Level April 30th! This new level is one of our first steps in the Roadmap and we really hope you have fun with it. Here is a trailer for the new Advanced Level (full of spoilers, watch at your own risk):

Watch on YouTube

This level is different compared to the first 9 days because of the 1 hour play time with an auto save triggered at 50% Fuel. So you can resume the game from midway through the level in case you make a mistake in the second half. This level is also substantially harder than other levels you've faced before. You will be encountering more sophisticated enemies and new environmental events.

This level will also present to you the first version of the Tech Tree! Note that while this is not the final version of the Tech Tree, we are eagerly waiting community feedback. If you think a more advanced Tech Tree would add to the fun, this can be fully fleshed out! Currently, you operate the Tech Tree by collecting tech points from destroyed enemies, they will blink blue on the mini-map to show you where they are. Use 10 points to unlock the advanced Sentry's such as the Flak or Mortar Sentry! You can also unlock Nukes which can be aimed and dropped from the ship! Careful with those... :)

Please note this level is only unlocked after completing the first 9 days.

Thanks very much to everyone’s kind words and support in the reviews and forums. A positive review really encourages us to work hard and keep going! Please do make sure to post some ideas of weapons and new features you want to be added into the next level or the Tech Tree down in the comments!

Thanks again for supporting an Indie Dev!
