Balance Changes

Machine Gun

Machine Gun had bullet limit problems and it confused too many players, so I removed them, the limit was only there to prevent having too many bullets on screen

• Removed bullet limit
• Reduced bullet lifetime in half

Rocket:

Changed the rocket price to be more accessible to allow for early start loadouts

• Starting Cost (100>80) Procedural Cost (55>60)

Recruitments:

Same goes with recruitments

• Starting Cost (50>40) Procedural Cost (35>40)

Pulse:

Pulse was a very underrated weapon and pretty bad in the beginning so prices for it are now insanely cheap at the starting levels

• Starting Cost (50>25) Procedural Cost (20>50)

Shotgun:

Shotgun was supposed to be a weapon that acts similarly as the rifle and machine gun, so later levels will be cheaper

• Procedural Cost (40>25)

Hook

Hook will get a semi-overhaul, it was too good at collecting coins and made players quickly rich, unbalancing the economy when reaching a high hook level.

• Max hooks that can be spawned on level 12 hook (12 > 4)
• Hook Damage (0.4 + hook level * 0.05 > 0.8 + hook level * 0.1)
• Hook Damage Cooldown (0.083s > 0.166s)
• Starting Cost (125>100) Procedural Cost (65>30)
• Fixed Hook EXP gain, I'll change how weapons gain EXP in a future update

Dash

Nobody used dash, so I made it more accessible

• Starting Cost (75>50)

Timestop

Timestop can be exploited in various ways and while I like seeing players use various strategies, it can be too good on higher levels

• Procedural Cost (70>80)

Quad Damage

• Procedural Cost (50>70)

Repair Kit

• Procedural Cost (20>15)

Orange Asteroids

• Orange Asteroids can only shoot the player if the player is nearby

Linux

- I've made some efforts to fix the linux port, let me know how it works for you (massive thanks to steventrouble, SaltyStan, Onymous, DungeonLord87, pixelpaintbush and others!) - Texture glitches may no longer occur anymore, but further testing of this is required.

Other

I was going to get the 1.1.7 update focused on the planet collection and planet crafting, but recently a lot of people using linux distros reported many bugs regarding the linux version so 1.1.7 is just going to be a linux fix and all of the planet stuff will be for later If you noticed a decrease in speed of development, that is because I'm focusing a bit on myself in the recent times but the game is still being worked on! Thanks for playing
