Beat Hazard 3

AWS teething problems.
Thanks for your patience.

Web Service Update
Hi all,
This is a pretty big update for the AWS code that handles leaderboards and other online stats.
Hopefully you won't notice any differences, but let me know if you see anything odd.
Also
- Reset Survival Leaderboard after fixing possible score exploit.
Cheers,
Steve
SHOUTcast update
- Some love to the SHOUTcast code
- Radio list now shows station Genre, Num Listeners and Current Track
- Added error box with message when a station or file cannot be played
- Added Friend Compare to main menu. Can also be used to view your own stats
- Plus other bug fixes
Cheers,
Steve.
Arrgghhhh, more res fixes!
For those of you wondering, how hard can this be, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of monitor resolutions as reported by Unreal. We have:
Native W/H
Display W/H
MaxRes W/H
RectPos X/Y (Where the 'screen' is relative to other monitors in a multi monitor setup)
DPI
Name
IsPrimary
It seems for most players, these values are all the same (which you would sort of expect). But for others, they're all over the place.
Hopefully I've improved things for those that have issues and not broken anything for those that don't.
Cheers,
Steve.
Phase 2 Update : Lock & Load !
Welcome to the Phase 2 update: Lock & Load.
The Phase 2 update includes a brand new system to upgrade, configure and overdrive your weapons.
Features include:
- Complete tracks to collect 'Alien Nano Tech' to upgrade weapons
- Experiment with different configurations that suit your play style
- Overdrive weapon attributes to massively boost performance
- Survival mode rework. How long can you survive with ever increasing difficulty?
Here is a detailed walk through of the next update:

Work is still ongoing with this update. No doubt there will be some bugs to fix and game play elements to balance.
Note: The difficulty cap is currently locked to 2,000% as I'm still working on changes in this area.
I hope you have fun. Please report any issues to the 'Bugs' forum.
Have a blast!
Cheers,
Steve.
BH3 Development Phases
Here is a guide to the development phases I have planned for Beat Hazard 3. Phase 1 is complete and phase 2 is in production and nearing completion.
A lot of exiting and interesting game play elements are on the way.
I'm hoping all these phases will be complete in the next 9 - 12 months. But it might take a little longer.
Feel free to ask any questions if you'd like to know more.
Cheers.
Steve
