Introducing Mission 2: First Contact!
The Glorbonians are in town! You’ve only ever seen pictures of these goopy aliens, so what better opportunity to go join the celebrations? I just hope nothing goes wrong on the way…?
Featuring new mechanics, fights, events, and... goo?
Unlock Alien Species to play as!
Each species replaces the Astronaut’s throw action with a new special ability:
Glorbonians - with the ability to eat anything, storing extra items inside them.
Unlock them by beating the new mission
Godents - who can hop around the ship faster than anyone (until they accidentally fall into the trash chute).
Unlock them by beating mission 1 on Juice level 1 with the default ship (the Plank)
Dynamos - whose internal battery can be used to power everything around them.
Unlock them by beating mission 1 on Juice level 1 with the 2nd ship (the Rampage)

The ship's healthbar should no longer obscure stations on the very bottoms of the ship when the camera is fully zoomed in.
