Gameplay

Some enemy and boss patterns have been adjusted to accomodate the changes above.
Many upgrades and weapons have been adjusted to better suit the new basic ship properties.
Boss enemies now grant a lot more score than previously.
Weapon upgrades have been made more common.
Adjusted the difficulty of some of the challenge stages.

We still have a couple more updates planned for the future, but until then, see you guys on the leaderboards!
Upcoming Updates
Hi everyone!
We've been a bit silent lately, so I wanted to share a few things of what's to be expected in future updates.
First of all, the game will be available on other platforms in the near(ish) future, notably Switch and Xbox. With their release the game will also have a new Global Cross-platform Leaderboard!
Other than that we are working hard on polishing up all the graphical assets of the game, so expect some new amazing pixel work coming up!
Finally, the game will receive a new super boss - restricted to Hard difficulty and it might be a reference to something. :)
Other notable things are: -Many new Ship Skins to choose from. -A couple new gameplay options, including Autofire. -Some balance adjustments and fixes. -Engine upgrade
Things not just yet coming with the next update, but confirmed: Loadout system and polished UI/Menus
And that's it for now, thank you everyone for still supporting and enjoying the game!
