Release 1.1.1c - Balance Changes

Happy 4th of July! It's time to balance the game further!

Features/Changes

Changed how dark green asteroids can reflect bullets

Sniper

Sniper was made more expensive to act more like a secondary weapon, cost nerf it is

Sniper starting cost 50 > 75 (Nerf)

Shield

Shield was just too good to use so I decided to make it a bit more expensive, but still a good option regardless

Shield starting cost 50 > 75 (Nerf)
Shield procedural cost 0 > 35 (Nerf)

Bouncy Orbs

Bouncy orbs could be a bit more useful now with the introduction of dark green asteroids, at a procedural cost increased as you progress with leveling

Bouncy Orbs can now take up reflected player bullets and UFO bullets, at a cost of charge decrease (but it doesn't reset)
Bouncy Orbs procedural cost 0 > 25 (Nerf)

Nuke

Nuke was dissatisfying to use compared to the black hole which could kinda do what a nuke does except its cheaper and a bit more limited, so I decided to make the nuke a bit more available while keeping okay costs on later levels. Also decreased ability cost for more infinite pierce uses

Nuke starting cost 300 > 200 (Buff)
Nuke procedural cost 125 > 75 (Buff)
Nuke ability cost 4000 > 3000 (Buff)
Nuke procedural ability cost 1000 > 750 (Buff)

Timestop

Timestop as an getaway ability was decent enough when having a lot more going on in the screen but UFO bullets aren't stopped, so instead I've made them so they convert into player bullets with a cost

Timestop procedural cost 50 > 70 (Nerf)
Timestop turns all reflected and UFO bullets into player bullets upon use (Buff)

Repair Kit

Nobody used this thing, so I made it cheaper

Repair Kit starting cost 110 > 50 (Buff)
Repair Kit procedural cost 40 > 20 (Buff)
Repair Kit will recharge machineguns ability (Buff)
Repair Kit ability cost 400 > 250 (Buff)
Repair Kit procedural ability cost 250 > 150 (Buff)

Fixes

Bullets can sometimes get stuck in dark green asteroids and deal unintentional massive damage
Fixed wrong info when wave skipping
Fixed Repair Kit not working (thanks CqtnuNick)

Asteroids ++ is the best Asteroids clone you will ever play in your life.

The Year is 2450.

Humanity has expanded their technology and improved in Rocketry. There was nothing out of the ordinary until disaster struck!

A moon one light year away exploded and has spread asteroids all over our solar system, this is where YOU come in!

You play as one of the captains who will control one of the spaceships! Go from planet to planet and get rid of the Asteroids!

When starting the game, you randomly generate sectors in planets based on set seed.

Inside the shop, expect to buy and customize parts for your spaceship. There are 36 weapons, 24 abilities and 12 unique abilities, which give over one million possible combinations for your loadout.

Each weapon is unique.

Shoot homing rockets that lock onto the biggest Asteroids, or have recruitments collect money instead of you doing it!
Stop time with the Timestop ability or DROP DOWN A F______ NUKE
Upgrade your speed upgrade for the spaceship so you can be so fast that your spaceship pierces through Asteroids!

In the game you'll face different types of enemies.

Yellow Asteroids split up into more smaller ones than usual
UFOs mimic the player's weapons and will try to use them against you.
A Snake is a long row of Asteroids rolling up to the player!

There's simply so much things happening at once!

Endless Run is a gamemode in the game that acts like a Roguelike version of the game!

Beat a sector, then choose between 3 powerups, which can be a permanent upgrade, a new weapon, or something that buffs you but nerfs your character at the same time.

Compete in an online leaderboard and try to survive as long as possible as the upcoming waves get harder and harder to conquer!

There's so much replay value!

Welcome to the Asteroids ++ Universe!
In here you create your own solar systems, planets and sectors!

Click on a desired tile
Edit how many waves you want
What types of enemies you want
Restrictions to weapons, levels and starting cash
Or even customize how your own planet looks!

Heck, make your own Solar System with virtually infinite player-made planets! And then share it through the Steam Workshop!

There's loads of more content!

Seasonal Campaign Additions
Weekly Planet Events
Daily Levels
Fun in-game Cheats
Rich Story through Computer Logs you find
Player Customization
Frequent Free in-Game Updates

and so on...

This game is FREE TO PLAY! If you think that you are ripping me off, well, of course you are! So, what are you waiting for!
And remember, you can never end Asteroid genocide!
