Hello SPIRITS IN THE SCREEN [],
After meditating upon a mountaintop for many moons, my eyes shot open, and I reached a grand realization: this game has so much more potential, so much more to give.
And not only that, but you, the players and fans, the ones who bother to read this and/or give feedback, deserve to have your voices heard, and not just heard, but acted upon.
I am working on an update, one of many, that will make the game a more full, pleasant experience.
[h2]

• In this coming update, there will be more levels, available to all, that will make the gameplay much longer.
  
• In this coming update, there will be new mechanics, that will allow for more ways to fight and win.
  
• In this coming update, there will be many under-the-hood optimizations that will make gameplay smoother on more devices.
  

Remixes have been updated in visuals, balance, and accessibility.

(Remixes are only available to windows users)

• Fixed the knockback of weapons on heavier enemies
  
• Added new visual hit effects
  

PH0B0S is once again compatible with OSX!

[h2]Grab your hundred dollar pencil and excessively aerodynamic bluetooth mouse (god forbid you try playing on trackpad), PH0B0S can now be experienced by Apple users.[/h2]

In addition to this, many tweaks have been made:

• The UI has been made more clean and readable
  
• Enemies now take knockback from projectiles and weapons
  
• Orbit stage has been reworked
  
• The Starhooks' hitboxes have been tweaked for better use when scaling walls or vaulting
  

- Added longer hit indicators (frame 1 -> 4)
- Adjusted enemy spawnpoints of the Chess stage
- Reduced enemy spawn count on Chess stage
- Made ammo drops larger
- Adjusted Minotaur's visuals
- Fixed visual glitch on Skytower
- Fixed visual glitch on Orbit
- Buffed the Commet Hammer
- Buffed the ZSword
- Nerfed Attraction Beam - Added new easter egg...
That's right, I listen to feedback.

L0VE, ALL YOU NEED IS L0VE.
But this isn't love. Real love can't be bought, nor can it be sold. Sorry, it's true. You will not find love browsing a digital game store.
But can you trust me when I say that I made this with love? That I love making games and I love anyone who bothers to play them? It's true.
I am not a salesperson, trying to make a pitch. This is not an advertisement. It's just a "thank you" note, a love letter of sorts, to you. Thank you for taking interest in my game.

WHAT IS L0VE?
[h2]Levels redesigned, remodeled, and retextured from scratch.[/h2]
Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.
[h2]Weapons redesigned, remodeled, and retextured from scratch.[/h2]
Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.
[h2]New trippy (and very seizure inducing, seriously don't play this if you have epilepsy) and stunning visual effects across the board.[/h2]
L0VE is not a game, it is art you can play.
The visuals are the best part of PH0B0S by far. It's pretty simple otherwise.

Levels:
[h3]

• PLANETARIUM: a vaporwave inspired vision of paradise.
  
• CHESS: a corrupted acid trip of spasming walls and optically confounding game pieces.
  
• ORBIT: blotches of ink rain from a crack in the sky.
  
• MINOTAUR: [redacted] [no literally]
  
• MONUMENT: a shimmering statue surrounded by swirling sands and shining sunbeams that stab at stygian shadow.
  
• SKYTOWER: the most retro and absurd of all, the essence of PH0B0S, beyond description.
  

Hello GAM3RS,
The title says it all. PH0B0S is going to soon be a payed experience. This is my first videogame project and I have been experimenting with various things including the pricing, I have found that people prefer paying up front as opposed to annoying limited edition cosmetics or microtransactions. Thanks for showing interest in this janky game.
