Update 34: recycle your items into ammo!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

I can't help but keep updating the game, even tho I'm releasing the game officially on Tuesday (leaving early access) I do plan to push some more updates like this one!

Many people complained about sometimes running out of ammo in later levels.. and a few people actually came with a great solution! Which I also liked so here it is, "the recycler"! These devices are randomly found around the moon-base, and you can recycle your items in return for an ammo-pack. The ammo you get is a bit randomized, but you always get at least 4 of every ammo type.

I might change it in future updates so that some items give more ammo or ammo of a specific type, but for now this is a nice solution to the ammo vs item problem ;)

There are also some fixes pushed in this update, and as always let me know if I accidentally broke other stuff ;)

interface:

  • fix: small issues with the mouse-cursor

game:

  • fix: removed cabinets from ancient and cave worlds
  • fix: improved looks on the interaction arrow (exit,cpu,etc)
  • fix: turned down the amount of red-blinking when taking big damage
  • fix: improved strength on tech-mine, and delay before it explodes
  • fix: improved detectors (more accurate, less annoying)
  • added: Ammo recycle dispensers - recycle your items for ammo
