Hey everyone on old systems, super budget PCs, or Intel-CPU Macs! I just want to apologize to how poorly Pellet Dodge may be running. PD isn't a very demanding game visually, so every GPU should run PD just fine, but it's been put to my attention after personal testing on a 2017 MacBook Air that... I wasn't the best at keeping CPU usage low when working on the game early on. For that, I want to greatly apologize. I want my game to be a fun experience, but also to be accessible to as many as I can; So in version 1.1.8.5, I'm not only adding more performance options in the redesigned Settings menu... but I'm also going to go through all my scripts and figure out which of them use the most CPU and I will try to optimize and cut down as much unnecessary computation as possible. My goal is to optimize enough that at least Intel-Macs go from <30FPS to a mostly stable 60FPS! Hopefully this will also apply to other systems. So, as I always say;
Thank you all so much for playing Pellet Dodge, and I hope more of you will have a better experience!
(PS: If I don't do this... I forgor, so please yell at me if I do!)
The Universe is corrupted. We are the only chance at cleansing it. Ship #404 is missing, which we must urgently find them. Their ShipType's Power CORE could fuel that corruption for eons at double the efficiency if we don't stop it. That's where you come in, #274. Your ShipType is durable enough to not immediately be ripped to shreds by the corrupted. So, to keep it brief; Save #404, stop the corruption, save space. We're all counting on you, #274.
Pellet Dodge is a simple, yet challenging game where you must save your friend from being used as fuel for the corrupted destruction of the Universe.
Features - Fly and dash through over 40 levels and counting! - Collect coins to upgrade your Ship - Customize your ship with an almost endless amount of colors - Make your own Custom Levels - Survive for the longest time in Endless Mode, and submit your score to the Online Leaderboards
Pellet Dodge is a long-term project and the story is NOT fully finished yet! Later on, more story will be available and current storytelling will be improved. What does this mean? I was heavily encouraged to release my game when I did, so I did. The game's not in Early Access since the Base Game is at a state that I consider finished. I'm only planning to expand it later so that the story can be fluently experienced, rather than buying a sequel game.
