Update 1.1.4 is currently in testing and will be released soon.
Changes & Fixes: -The boss health bars have a new effect to show damage -Plasma projectiles have a small outline to make them more visible on bright levels. -Capital Ships are now saved when you save a casual campaign game -Increased 'Shield Wall' health -Fixed Regen Defiance Shield -Fixed Missile Destroyer's big missile glitching out -Japanese localization fixes -Fixed some gfx glitches in some background scenes
1.1.3 didn't change the game enough to necessitate a board wipe and a lot of players lost the scores they were working towards, so CounterAttack has gone back to the previous high score board. This unfortunately means high scores in the last week are gone.
Thank you all for your understanding!
