Update 1 (V. 1.0.1)


UPDATE 1 (VER. 1.0.1, 4/10/2020) AND FUTURE UPDATES

Hello all,

I wanted to first say thank you to all of you who had played the game. It really makes me happy when I can provide something which people are interested in.

This game was created in 3 days for the ScoreSpace #8 Jam, and thus had several issues which fell through the cracks during development. This update was made in order to address those issues, and thus provides a much more complete game than what was published during the jam.

CHANGELOG:

  • Gameplay
    • Added a weaker weapon for when the player runs out of ammo (weapon does 1/2 the player damage stat)
    • Ammo gained from ammo drops has been increased (10% max ammo -> 15% max ammo)
    • Increased ammo/ health pickup radius (40 units -> 50 units)
    • Base mutant has had its speed altered. It now slows down for a short period when it comes in contact with the player, as well as when it is shot
    • Voltaic now targets enemies a bit better
    • Fireball mutant now only fires at the player when it is within 100 units of the player
  • Misc.
    • Improved the death screen, now adding effects, as well as buttons to navigate to the title screen, enchantment screen, and to restart
    • Juiced mutant now has iron armor to differentiate itself from the base mutant
    • Improved run animations for the enemies, added run animation for the fireball mutant
    • Improved several bullet sprites
    • Cleaned up the title screen


    WHAT IS TO COME

    I really did not plan to continue updating this game much further, however if there are enough people who are enjoying it and wish for more content, I will provide it. I am open to any and all requests and I read all comments, so if you want something in the game, leave a comment asking for it and I will try my best to incorporate it. Also leave a comment if you have something to criticize, for it is the best way for me to grow as a developer.

    I plan to add one additional content update to the game, which will add new enemy types, elite boss enemy variants, options and some game modifiers (much like the artifacts from Risk of Rain or crowns from Nuclear Throne). Some of the enchantments will most likely be reworked slightly, so expect that along with the content.

    I thank all of you who downloaded the game, and I plan to release other small projects, either for jams or just for fun, within the near future.

    Sincerely,

    Su
