We also have a new soundtrack added to the game! Soon we’ll update the soundtrack DLC too!

Oh also a new powerup joined our ranks!
The Lucky Dice gives the player a chance to come back to life with some health when dying.

Also as for the combo system 5 combos will be available for now, but we plan to add more! Each one of them requires the player to collect 2 specific items, but we’ll keep which items a secret for now not to spoil the fun in finding them all.

Corrosive solution Combo upgrades a drone to corrode your enemies
Wombo Combo makes your black paradox last 20% longer

The Combo System adds a lot of possibilities for expanding the game! We want to add other combos to make less useful items more viable and to make the game way more interesting!
Thanks for reading!

Who said balance??? Oh wait I did!

To balance off the game we’ve added 3 more scripted waves. Also we’ve worked a bit on the other waves to better integrate with the new ones. More work is needed, but were keeping it up! Oh also we’ve made the demo a bit more balanced too!

New contents

So as I mentioned we have 3 new waves and a new powerup, the Advanced AI, a powerup that incerases your drones attack power!

We’re also working on a restock function for the chip shop, though it’ll still take some time to have it in the game.

Bugs

A few items weren’t interacting correctly. We fixed the issues!

Patch Notes

Weapons/Powerups

The Laser didn’t correctly work with the Cheat Shell
The Machinegun max spread is now slightly wider
The Machinegun’s sound has been slightly lowered
The Geyser didn’t properly damage some enemies. problem fixed
