I'm planing on a Steam version too. Anyone interested?

And now I've finally finished MAB I'll be looking to start work on BH2 in the Autumn. Phew, it's been a long time coming - sorry.

Cheers,

v1.107 update

Finally fixed the 'Can't find full screen rez' crash on Win10

Sorry it took so long!

[Edit] Seems I didn't quite fix it. A new v1.108 is up, should be really fixed now.

My new game: Martial Arts Brutality

Hi everyone,

It's been a long time. I just wanted to let you know about my new game: Martial Arts Brutality.

It's a F2P turn based tactical card fighter. Full details here:

Initially out on mobile, but I hope for a Steam release later.

On the Beat Hazard front, I intended to start work on BH2 once I've got this game out and running smoothly.

Cheers,

Shadow Mission Completion Criteria

Seems this is catching a lot of people out. I'll try and add something that makes it clearer, but for now here are the criteria you need to take into account when choosing a song/mode for a Shadow Mission.

Note 1: Tracks with the Shadow Ops Icon can be used to complete the current mission
Note 2: Choosing 'Play Random Track' or 'One I've not played yet' will automatically choose a song that will meet the current mission criteria.

Mission Restrictions
Shadow Missions have some restrictions. These are listed below.
In general, songs with the Shadow Ops Icon next to them are appropriate for the mission.

Destroy 'x' small ships of type 'y'
Any mode. Tracks with Icon present

Destroy 'x' big ships of type 'y'
Any mode. Tracks with Icon present

Destroy 'x' bosses of type 'y'
Any mode. Tracks with Icon present

The track must be longer than 3m:30s

Death Penalties
If you die during a shadow mission, you will lose some of your progress in that mission. Below are the types of mission and their penalties:
