CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS:

Introducing Campaign Mode!

NEW FEATURES/CONTENT:

• Campaign mode! We have redesigned the overall experience of the game to include a campaign that includes a map with a choice of paths. Rather than choosing your level at the start, a campaign has a map that includes a random selection of worlds along your journey.

This redesign includes major new features including:
  • 2 shops with new characters you can visit for upgrades.
  • The beginnings of a new and deeper narrative.
  • Three acts, with a miniboss fight at the end of each.
• New enemies: Plasma Pursuer, Pulse Wave Caster, Missile Tank, Phaser, Bombardier, Gatling Defender, Laser Pinwheel, Dart, Disco Ball, Spikehead Stunner.

  • Enemies have new artwork and give more VP in later acts.
  • Enemy homing missiles now have a chance to drop a missile pickup when destroyed.
  • Improved enemy outlines and enhanced enemy visibility.
  • Enemies and enemy attacks are more visible and are a bit more difficult.
  • "Enhanced" enemies will appear with a special material, with more health.

• Increased turn rate on ship a bit.
• Ross's trait is now "Scrap is worth 15% more".
• A.R.E.S. Testing Facility (Formerly Neonfall) is wider/taller.
• Larva Bombs will now stun the player when they explode.
• Redesigned main menu.

Hey friends, the team has been working super hard on a major new content update! One of the most requested features for this series is boss fights. We have some BIG plans for end stage bosses coming soon, but in the meantime, we decided to redesign the "Elite" enemies in the game and turn them into epic miniboss fights. Here's how it works: There are (currently) 4 possible elites that will spawn in zone 5. They are the only thing in that zone, and we've done our best to make it feel really cinematic.
There's even a mysterious "The Swarm" character speaking through them. What is it saying??
We'll be refining this system in the coming months and adding additional Elites. Additionally, we've added a new secondary weapon called Precision Rocket Launcher. Full patch notes below including lots of quality of life updates!

Are you a streamer gripped by indecision, second-guessing every upgrade as viewers wait in anticipation? Let them make the hard choices for you with Twitch integration. Just sit back, let your audience pick your mid-run upgrades, and deal with the (surely unintentional) catastrophic consequences. And, the decisions are getting even harder with the introduction of Cursed Choices. Blended into the mid-run upgrades, every Cursed Choice will give you an edge over the Swarm. But, at what cost? Some of the Cursed Choices awaiting include:

• Galactic Gamble: Summon black holes that attract and kill everything nearby, including you.
• Rush or Die: Kick your boosters into overdrive for two zones, but die if you let off the throttle.
• Chaotic Compass: Restore your hull, if you can last two minutes with inverted controls.
• Glass Cannon Party: For two minutes, everything dies in a single hit. EVERYTHING.

• Introducing Cursed Choices! Every 10 levels, you'll be offered one or more Cursed Choices. Each cursed choice has an upside and a downside. Dense fog that also heals you? Check. Black holes that suck you in but also kill enemies? Check. More to come, please let us know what you think!
• New item: Tight Boost Assassin. Doing tight boosts insta-kills random enemies.
• Twitch Integration. Activate from options screen and let Twitch viewers vote on upgrades!
• Added tutorial popups for tight boosts and barrel rolls.

• Unlocks on the loadout screen now show progress.
• Gatling gun balance tweak: Energy recharges slower when weapon is in a charging state. Charge level resets to zero faster.
• Pulse Laser balance: Energy stops refilling while weapon is charging up.

• Fixed bug where level-up screen was obscured if it happened during elite explosions or level transitions.
• Fixed bug where character dialogs would pop up at inappropriate times.
• Fixed bug where level up screen would occasionally not show all items.
• Fixed low quality rendering glitches.

Check out what's new!

It's patch build time! Thanks so much for all of your feedback from our Early Access Release. We read every comment, every forum post, and every feedback form. Your opinions directly impact the development of our game and we thank you!

Here's what you can expect in 0.62:

Hey all, first of all, we just want to say THANK YOU for an incredible launch. The team of 9 over here at Flippfly couldn't be more excited to be working on this game! We've been reading all of your reviews, your feedback surveys (hundreds of them!) discussion forum comments, Discord chats, and watching your videos and livestreams. We are seeing a few clear patterns in feedback: 1. You like what's here and you're looking forward to more content and variety in the game. 2. We've got some balance issues with weapons and items to work on. 3. We've got quite a few bugs and quality-of-life issues to work on too. Here's What's Next We are planning to release new builds every two weeks for now. This upcoming first patch (Dropping around Sep 13) will primarily deal with quality-of-life issues, bugs, and item balance. We're making the Pulse Laser pack more punch, balancing out the Gatling gun a bit, fixing all the achievement and Mod bugs, and making mods give more VP. We're also fixing about two dozen bugs, and making the color scheme in Nexus City a bit more readable and easy on the eyes. For the second update, our artist Jin and programmer/designer Dayne are in the home stretch on a new world. We're also working on "twitch plays" integration so Twitch viewers can pick upgrades, and even more quality-of-life updates. Beyond that, we're looking into ways to add more variety and surprise to the core game loop - exciting new items and choices that can change your run in fundamental ways. And of course, there will be more ships, pilots, and weapons! We're also looking into the possibility of mod support, and even investigating VO for characters. No promises, though! Keep the feedback coming, and thanks again for your support! What are the "dream features" you'd love to see in this game?
