Next update with the new boss and level 7 is less than a week away!

Thank you for support!
:astronautintrouble:

Second after Recycler Orange Moon boss is coming to Orange Moon in the upcoming level 7 update.

Made out of Orange Moon lifeforms, human and mechanical parts, this abomination lays toxic smoke bombs and spits acid. Upon approach it spawns highly flammable toxic clouds around itself as a protection from predators. It is slow and clumsy, obviously an experiment gone wrong. Uses pair of augmented human hands to drag its huge body around.



Quantity on the moon - unknown.

Who is to blame for their existence - raiders, aliens or Moon Resources Corp.?

Moon abomination encountered on 7th level of Orange Moon - “Excavations”.

Moon Resources Corporation troops - MRC Trooper and MRC Punisher boss, to be deployed on Orange Moon.



Two new enemies are coming to Orange Moon - MRC trooper and MRC “Punisher” boss, both belong to Moon Resources Corp. faction. They will be encountered on the first introduction to Orange Moon and the last levels.

MRC TROOPER


These heavy armored and heavily augmented human soldiers used by MRC to protect corporation assets such as mines and archeological excavations. They are also used to deal with the raiders. Armed with tactical machine gun and grenade launcher. Grenades won't do much damage to these soldiers. Armor piercing bullets or 50mm prove to be the most effective way to deal with them.




MRC PUNISHER


Heavy armored and armed bio mechanical machine that guards MRC spaceports and compounds. Only one deployed on MRC main base on Orange Moon. Equipped with a minigun and a rocket launcher.


Orange Moon controller support added and more with version 0.0.4.1 released

Controller support added. Its marked as “partial controller support” on Steam store page as I might have missed something and it's not yet possible to buy upgrade canisters from upgrade screen with controller.



List of features and bug fixes:

  • Controller support added;
  • Reduced difficulty on the first 2 levels and removed thorns at some points to allow player use turbojets without taking unexpected damage;
  • Added more scenery to various levels;
  • Puzzle on second level couldn't be solved if sound is turned off;
  • Fixed bug when same message would repeat a few times;
  • Reduced speed of glowing orbs;
  • Hand cannon projectile speed increased;
  • New mail menu music theme.


I will now concentrate on improving gameplay experience, adding more content to the existing levels like puzzles, story, scenery and enemies. The new intro level with new monster and boss coming with the next update.

Orange Moon V0.0.3.3 Demo released

Orange Moon demo V0.0.3.3 for Windows and Linux is now available for download on IndieDB. The gameplay is much smoother compared to V0.0.2.2 demo, and even most recent version 0.0.3.2 on Steam(no worries folks, even more is coming very soon your way), with new targeting system introduced.
