Play Testing New Upgrades!

Hi!

I've been busy working away at some new upgrades and I have loads for you to try out.

Particle Rings: The particles sometimes spawn rings which makes them bigger and collect more particles.

Gravity Beam: A beam of gravity that aligns nearby particles.

Geysers: Particles vent out a stream of gas that propels it in a random direction.

Instant Gravity Pulse: Collect these to instant initiate a gravity pulse.

Strings: A chance to connect nearby particles with strings. They look like constellations.

Spaceship!: A spaceship comes along bouncing the particles but if you catch it, a tractor beam collects the particles in it's path!

I'm going to do a public playtest soon but at first I'm testing with steam keys with a few people to test that everything works.

The playtest will feature these upgrades and you can have a play and mix and match and reset the upgrades.

More soon.

Cheers,

Chris.
