One more week to beat the Whale Event and unlock that big baby!
(Event level 2 finally nerfed???) The lo-fi Level Editor soundtrack "Aquascaping" is now on YouTube!
If you encounter any bugs while playing, please report them to me on Discord! -------------------------------------------------------------------
Hollow Whale damage per mine reduced as follows:
1 Layer: from 20 to 18
2 Layers: from 55 to 50
3 Layers: from 100 to 90
Hollow Whale has quickly become one of the strongest upgrades (albeit not too broken). A slight damage nerf to each mine could add up to make a significant impact, since Hollow Whale releases 9 mines at the strike destination, plus 16 mines arounds itself (4 of which explodes immediately, assuming whale isn't neighboring other turrets). This also tunes down the damage potential of stacked mines.
Viewing upgrades no longer prevents aiming a Whale shot, unless your cursor is directly over an upgrade option
A large turret that can stand on multiple acid / mucus tiles at the same time no longer receives stacked effects from each tile
People would not place Whale anywhere except right next to walls, where mortars would spawn 4 acid tiles under the Whale and insta-kill it. Git gud pls. Also here I am spending an entire night reworking the logic behind tile overlays entirely so you can stand a chance at beating Whale Artillery II
Reduced enemy spawns towards the later half of Whale Artillery II event level

Whale Artillery's projectile VFX's now show through darkness
The explosion lights up an area anyways - No reason to not simply show the entire majestic animation + particles
