Cavity Busters Update 35 patch 4

April 3, 2022

Due to the volume of new players, a lot more bugs where discovered with the level generation. It's much more stable now. The game was also migrated into a more current version of the program that was used to make Cavity Busters. This always causes some glitches and other oddities. I'm pretty sure I found most of them but as many of you have come to realize, I miss stuff. And as always, I fixed a few spelling errors :D

Also! We are just 5 reviews away from a very positive user score! Just a heads up :)

Thank you!!

Cavity Busters Update 35 hotfix 2

March 22, 2022

Hiyaa! Got another patch to address a nasty bug that could crash the game when going to a new level. Not good. But in the long run level generation should be much more fail proof. And just a few little things here and there that I came across.

fixed a crash with level generation and made level generation more fail proof
fixed a bug where leaving character select screen would disable the pause menu
changed the text for a character unlock to be more clear
changed the text of an upgrade to be more clear
adjusted the amount of times need to kill a secret boss to get its xray

Peace out!

Cavity Busters Leaving Early Access!

March 18, 2022

Hello everyone! This is an exciting one. Cavity Busters is leaving early access today! Couldn't have done it without everyone's feedback and support. So what does that mean for CB? And what's next?

Next for Cavity Busters
Content wise, Cavity Busters is complete. However this doesn't mean that support will end for CB. I could tweak and nerf this monster forever but what's the fun in that? If any serious balance issues occur, they will be addressed. And I won't hesitate to add new upgrades and what not down the road. But that will be less frequent.

Next Game
In my spare time I've been working on something else! It's quite different from Cavity Busters. It's a more traditional roguelike, with turn based movement, but with some real time elements as well. It's still in the early stages but I post occasional gifs of it on my twitter. That's all I'll say about that for now. :)

As always the full change log is below. Just want to say thanks for everything. If you'd like to, please consider leaving a review. Once we hit 'very positive' rating, I'll stop shilling for reviews, I promise :) Please enjoy and let me know if you need help with any issues. Thank you!!

Peace out!

Cavity Busters Update 34

February 4, 2022

Hello everyone! Welcome the weekend and another update :) This update is kinda on the smaller side as I would normally work on it for another week. But I'll be gone next week so I wanted to get this out today. But still some good stuff in this one!

Lore and Bestiary Entries
I added a handful of bestiary entries as well as new dialogue for Gob. Writing lore is tough. I try to keep it simple and not get too wordy. Lore is there if you want it but easy enough to skip through it. So I have a proposition to those that enjoy lore and more specifically enjoy Cavity Busters lore. Are you interested in writing an entry for a single enemy in the bestiary? I'd send you a list of the ones that still need an entry, and you would pick the one you'd like to write for. Of course I'd get final say and you would get a mention in the credits for writing. Let me know! If you're on the games discord it'll be easier to get in touch and talk specifics.

As always, thanks for playing! Please consider leaving a review and telling your roguelite loving friends about Cavity Busters so they too can get the CB bug! :)

Peace!

Cavity Busters Update 33

January 28, 2022

Hello! How's everyone? Here's a regular sized update this week. I'm gonna hopefully stick with a bi-weekly or weekly update schedule as I'm hoping to push a lot of polish updates. So here's the first round of polish!

Shmup Mode Changes
I also separated shorter rounds from the shmup mode. Shorter rounds will now be an unlockable game mode. As always though, you can access it right away by going into the accessibility options. And now, if shorter rounds is turned off there will be a small shmup wave of enemies between levels where you can gain some goodies by playing it well! Some of you might recognize the enemies from another game of mine. :)

A note about performance:
I made some changes that should help performance. Specifically for people who use monitors with refresh rates higher then 60hz. But you'll have to let me know. Did performance get better? And more importantly, did it get worse? ːtrazzː

That's all for this update! Full change list below. Thanks for playing and for the super nice reviews you all left the last few weeks. They were sooo nice. Gave me a nice boost to keep working on this monster :D Anyways, thank you. Until next time!

Peace!

What's New

shorter rounds is now an unlockable game mode
shmup mode now has shmuppy levels between shmup bosses
added an option to fast dismount walls (still needs some work)
added a new screen to show synergies
two new stackable upgrades
