Cavity Busters Update 32 - The Shmupdate Update
Hello and welcome to The Shmupdate Update!
This update almost nearly finishes off the major content that was planned for Cavity Busters. Besides polish, bugs and whatever else I might decide to add (I added a whole new NPC yesterday because...) the game is almost complete! Now is a good to pick up the game if you've been holding off. And because after this update, the price for Cavity Busters will be increasing slightly. I'm thinking the final price will be 14.99 USD but still not sure. Anyways, on to what's in this beast!
Shmupdate So probably the obvious thing, there's a new shmup mode/segment! I can share how you access that but steer clear if you want to figure it out on your own. It's nothing crazy. Fill Gobs mouth with teeth and play as normal. I hope to flesh out the shmup mode a little more. It's some good ol' fashion shmup action though.
A new Gummy Yeah! Now there's a total of 8 playable Gummys. The newest gummy lets you BE THE TOOTH. You'll have to unlock it or you can access it through the accessibility menu. If you play with a controller, turning the auto aim (click the right stick) is suggested.
Besides loads of changes and balances AND 17 new upgrades, those are the big two. You can catch a full change log below. If you're enjoying your time with Cavity Busters, please consider leaving a review so we can get to a 'very positive' steam rating! :) As always, thanks for your patience, your time and suggestions, and most of all, for playing Cavity Busters!
See ya!

Cavity Busters - What's next?
Hellooo!
It's been a couple weeks since the big update. Things have settled down, and the current build is stable. So what's next? Cavity Busters is close to being a finished product content wise. There's still a lot of polish and bug fixes to take care of. But now I'm buckling down to finish off the rest of the content. Updates will be going silent for a little bit. I'll post updates on my twitter and try to post some here.
So here's a bit of what I'm working on!
Remember to make any requests or suggestions that might like to see in the game! Also...maybe a review? :)
Until next time!
See ya!
Update 31 hotfix 1
This patch addresses a few bugs with Jam Boss. -fixed Jam Boss not dying -fixed crash caused when player dies
Cavity Busters Update 31
Hello everyone!
I'm here with a smaller update that mainly address some bugs but does include new upgrades and features! As always you can see a quick list below but I'll go into a little more detail up here about new stuff.
First off: a new mode called Chill Mode. This mode is unlocked by default and it greatly increases players damage output. Due to how modes work in Cavity Busters, you can mix and match this mode with others, creating a difficulty tailored to what you're looking for. Is champion mode too hard? Mix it with chill mode! You'll still have the crazy bullet filled rooms but your chances of survival are increased! This mode may require some tweaking in the future. But for now I think it's a nice addition.
Next: Force wake up bosses! This is something I wanted to add for awhile. You can now force bosses to wake up by smashing the button prompt on screen. But be careful. This makes them really mad. Their damage output is doubled :0 Buuuut you'll get extra goodies for killing them. This becomes available after beating the game once.
What's New:
2 new upgrades
1 new Gob upgrade
1 new game mode : Chill Mode
Force bosses to wake up
Fixes and Tweak:
Busting of isaac mode is less busted. For instance, item changers will no longer duplicate items on the ground.
fixed a bug where Jam boss would get stuck during phase transition
charmed enemies stay charmed for longer
smoothed out picking up upgrades
fixed golden heart so it takes into account items that increase max goop
Annnd that's it. I'm thinking I'll be hunkering down on a big update again soon. I've started laying the ground work for it and I think it's gonna be good :) Not sure when I'll start but I'll let you know.
Quick note about reviews
We are 16 reviews away from getting a "very positive" rating :0 And as we all know, a very positive rating makes people extra hot for video games. Also Steam doesn't think this is a real video game yet. Just some shovel ware. Prove em wrong! :) But whatever you decide to do, thank you for liking our game, thank you for being patient with our updates, and thank you for playing!
Peace!
Update 30 hotfix 2
Just a quick update to fix a soft lock issue and a few extra things.

PHELMGY upgrade adjusted to take away goop every 3 seconds instead 1.5 seconds
fixed a soft lock with toy box and monster juice locking you in a room
new sound fx for Jam Boss and MGF Boss
updated the hole art for goop canals
Update 30 hotfix 1
fixed a bug related to monitors with high refresh rates causing low fps
Cavity Busters - Update 30
*lifts sticky tentacles to eyes and wipes away crusties* *blinding light pours in* Grab your tooth and jump back into The Goop Canals! We're here with a massive update!
Hello and welcome (finally) to update 30! It's been over three months since the last update. But it was time well spent and much needed. The game is better for it and I'm less burned out heh :) This update adds so much. I'll go into some detail here about it but if you just want the cold hard changes, scroll down a bit.
[previewyoutube="6TCx0RBz7Bc;full"]
First and probably what took the most work, The Bestiary. This involved making icons for every single enemy. Long and tedious. Next was creating a way to unlock those entries that was fun and would serve a purpose even after all entries were unlocked. I was working on this even before the three months but I needed a little bit longer to finish it. I wont spoil it here though. You'll have to find it. :) There's still no lore in the entries though. Writing lore is hard. :(
Lets talk about a new mechanic. I know. The game is already bursting at seams with mechanics. So why another one? This one feels really natural and I think it'll contribute to the flow of combat. I call it the Boop. While wall running, perform a wall dash into an enemy and you'll bounce off the enemy, giving you some extra wall dash distance and causing damage to the enemy. I think it's a blast to use.
Last but not least, two new gummys! Designing gummys is really fun but it's hard work. A new gummy has to work with, not all but most upgrades. And this is the biggest challenge really. In a game where you have so much control over your projectile, it's tough adding in a new character that handles that projectile differently. The first gummy is Denture Gummy. Denture starts with 4 teeth and can fire them individually or fire a large clump of teeth with a charge shot. This gummy is like an easier version of Pre Molar and that's why it'll be unlocked by default. The other gummy is Spider Gummy! But that's all I'll say on that. :)
Thank you for your patience and support. Can't wait to hear what ya'll think of the update. Please consider leaving a review as it encourages us to keep going and nudges Steam to suggest the game to other people.
Until next time, Peace!
