Hey everyone!
There is one request that is brought up over and over:
"Friendly fire is annoying"
"The game would be better without the freighters"
"It's impossible to protect the convoy"
I want to give everyone a chance to enjoy the game, so I added a new Game Mode.
Lone Wolf - Game Mode
From version 2.0.4 on you can select "Lone Wolf" game mode and play the game without the Convoy Freighters in Normal Mode difficulty.
This new mode also has it's own Leaderboard, so show your friends and the world who is the greatest at surviving without any protection from the freighters!
Apart from this change, 2.0.4 mostly has bug fixes and minor adjustments for the Steam Deck.
Debug branch
I got several reports of game crashes after the 2.0 update.
Some of them are really hard to find. So if you notice game crashes, it would be great if you can switch to the "debug" branch in Steam if you are willing to help.
You will find logfiles of the game in the folder:
C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Raffa\BeatInvaders\logs
It would be great if you can paste those into the "debug-feedback" channel on the Discord Server!
Patch Notes - 2.0.4
- Optimizations for the Steam Deck (Camera Angle and Position, System Hack selection)
- Change: The Ultrashield Special now charges up with each enemy hit. This increases it's size. After running out, a charged up Ultrashield will release a volley of projectiles.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash to desktop.
- Fixed a bug where "The Hammer" boss was moving out of the screen.
- Fixed a bug in the Railguns "Overcharge" Upgrade - it now works correctly!
