Cavity Busters Update #11
Hello all! Happy weekend! Hope you're all doing good. I'm here with your weekly update with some new upgrades and some quality of life fixes. I'm working on some new stuff that will be showing up in the coming weeks. So working on that and trying to add weekly stuff is a balancing act.

-Calcification -Obesiteeth -Electric Tooth -Cup of Coffee
1 new synergy
Another option for shot gums smoothness
Added the ability to scroll through the upgrades you've obtained when they start to go off screen

Picking up heart pieces will show how many you have
Added a button to randomize character select
The new shot gums option allows you to change shot gum use to just one button.
Tweaks and fixes:
fixed music overlapping when you loop
fixed text for laser gun upgrade

As always, hope you have fun with it and consider dropping a review. Really helps make the game better. ;D
A note to those leaving suggestions and bug reports. Thank you so much. It's so rad to see people taking to the game and wanting to have an impact on it. After working on a game this long, you start to lose some creative spark and the suggestions are helping me regain that again. There's so many suggestions that it's hard to add all of them. So if I don't add yours, it's nothing personal. But I do read ALL the suggestions. So thank you. And keep em coming.
See ya!
Cavity Busters Update #10: Polishing a dead old tooth
Hiya everyone! This update leans more on the polish side of things. There's some upgrades as well!
What's New:
3 new upgrades
holding the shotgum button as Baby Tooth will increase fire rate for a goop cost
teleport map now shows your current location
default button added to accessibility menu
mini boss have a health bar
Fixes and tweaks:
fixed player getting healed while dying and canceling death screen
fixed a bug that caused items in a room to disappear when leaving room
bowel movement won't happen in boss rooms, treasure rooms or disease curing rooms. They can still happen in dig rooms however.
bowel movement antibody spawn rate were nerfed
falling bullet mod was changed to chomp attacks. essentially the same thing just visually different
tiny delay to when you can recall your charged tooth. tiny tiny.
flak ammo was nerfed
monumeats increase difficulty between 1 and 2 points
fixed taking a continue not taking effect while in a modded room
fixed some bugs with the teleport map
wall dashing with a controller is a bit different
Wall dashing with a controller is a bit different Wall dashing with a controller used to be all or nothing. With mouse and kb you could pick where your wall dash ended within the wall dash range. That's lost while using a controller. But now you can be more precise with wall dashing while using a controller. It's not perfect but it's a start in the right direction to smoothing out controller use. Also note it works best when the controller is not in auto aim mode.
The new combo system: Combos now decay at a much slower rate. A portion of your combo will be taken away when hurt. Combo meter now increases when the meter is filled rather then for just killing enemies. More work still needs to be on this. But it feels much better already. :)
That's all for this week. Enjoy and drop some feed back for whatever you want! :)
UPDATE 9 Hot fix 2
UPDATE 9 Hot fix 2
This adjusts the stats for Baby Tooth. He'll start with higher damage, higher range, higher fire rate and a lower heal requirement. Also upgrades that would normally effect your regular tooth now effect your shots gum bullets but only when playing as Baby.
Enjoy!
Cavity Busters Update #9: New Twin Stick Gummy
Hey all! Welcome to another weekly update! This one is pretty sweet and I'm very excited to see what you all think of it.
The New Gummy This Gummy is for everyone who enjoyed most of the mechanics of Cavity Busters but found combat to be a bit tedious. This Gummy is a more traditional twin stick shooter type character. You aim where you want to shoot, hold the shoot button, and voila! Shoot bullets and cause damage! This character is called Baby Tooth and is in no way a dig at the people this was intended for. The name fit thematically as you shoot small low damage baby teeth. Don't be fooled though. This character is still a challenge as all diseases that effect tooth shots will still be present and sometimes more devastating.
What's new:
new playable character
new character select screen
2 new upgrades
monumeats(?)
3 new rooms to discovery
Bugs and tweaks: fixed some controller bugs combo meter will not decrease while bosses are dying or changing phases now
Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think and drop a review if you haven't yet already! :)
Cavity Busters Update #8
Hey all! This update is a bit smaller compared to last weeks but we have two new enemies to crush you this time!

26 new rooms
Bug fixes and tweaks:
Incisor gummy now has different tooth projectile art
mini gums are slightly better
aim line now shows accuracy
reload tooth animation is now less intrusive
cleaned up the death screen a bit
I have some fun stuff brewing that'll be showing up in the next few updates if all goes to plan. Have fun and drop a review if you can! :)
Peace!
Cavity Busters Update 7: New playable character
Howdy all! Another big update for this week. First and foremost we have a new playable Gummy!
This Gummy has lower health but starts with two teeth and is a bit faster. Instead of a boomerang charge shot, shooting a charged shot shoots two slow teeth. When the shoot button is pressed these teeth will home in on the nearest enemy. However if you were to collect the charged teeth before they hit an enemy or a wall, they'll fire off a powerful attack! The Gummy is unlocked the first time you beat the game. If you've beaten the game it'll unlock once start of the new update :) You'll be able to select it through the hub room computer.

A new playable character
2 new upgrades

saving requires you to be in range of Gob
can now only gain one boss tooth at the start of the round
fixed a bug where Factory Lobe II boss would run in place
fixed a bug where upon loading a saved game player would have two bullet types
fixed a bug in tutorial that duplicates players
fixed a bug in tutorial that cause boomerang shot to fail
fixed a bug that would disable shooting when picking up an upgrade that gave extra teeth
now only pressing the jump button spends your jump instead of touching stunned enemies
fixed a bug where enemies would regain health upon being frozen
hyperthyroidism now takes away a percentage of enemy health
poison ammo now deals a small amount of base damage
run total should be more accurate now
can no longer save while digging
fixed potential memory leak
room modifiers will now be displayed in the starting room
tooth will now properly hit enemies instead of passing through them at high speeds
Have fun and please let me know how you like the new character!

Cavity Busters Update # 6
Dental surgery is tough. And sometimes you need to take a break, change your shorts, and brush your teeth. This update brings a save and quit feature to the game!
Due to the complexity to how levels are generated, saving and quitting can only be done after a boss for the current level is defeated. You'll be able to save by interacting with the Gob. (mouth that takes you to the next level)
On top of that we have some new upgrades and other fixes and balances!
What's new:
save and quit a run
4 new upgrades
Fixes and tweaks:
diarrhea won't disappear when the game is paused (diarrhea doesn't just disappear in real life duh)
digging on walls that have already been dug through will no longer increase your combo
fixed a crowned tooth exploit
nerfed Loogie
hypothermia spews fewer bullets. it's still a frozen bullet hell ;)
holding tab shows current floor
you no longer take damage while waiting to be taken to the next level
cleaned up some visual clutter during combat
reflektor synergy no longer disables tooth shot
while looping, dig X's can spawn minor stat up items. The probability increases as loops increase.
while looping, enemies hp increments at a lower rate
Enjoy everyone! Please consider leaving a review if you haven't already :D
