Weather Added snow fall and changed cloud movement direction to match.
Post Processing Reworked the vibrancy and glow effects and removed excess post processing features that were costing performance with little or no visible change when removed.
Enemies Changed some positioning and timing of mission so that the mission is well passed and constant challenge.
Boss Removed bad colliders and reworked the collider system on the boss to get better performance during the boss fight. Increased the amount of damage boss can take by about 50% to all of it's parts except the energy shields. Increased the boss's core life by a lot it had been lower for testing but now it is where it should be.
As always please enjoy

Secret Mission 1 is now added to the game, this can be unlocked by beating Mission 5 while destroying all enemies.
-- Improvements and fixes Changed the graphics of some of the projectiles so they are more vivid.
Fixed a bug where player would collide into something and it would destroy your ability to fire anymore. Enemy model collider types refined for better performance. Both player and enemy code tweaks to remove excess processing per frame.
As always please enjoy, Jared.
Patch 04-25-2023
Fixed 2nd player user interface navigation glitches.
Fixed in game point display at the top of screen during missions so it doesn't look choppy anymore.
Removed excess colliders from structures and other mission objects that didn't need them to improve frame rate.
And other small tweaks as I reviewed through my source code, finding and fixing behaviors that would increase processing time.
Currently working on Secret Mission 1 and Mission 6 and plan to have them out soon, as a one man team I had taken a break for a while but I am back to it and pushing forward with development.
Please enjoy..
