Our next playable ship, Ace is set to be released on July 4th!

Ace is a maverick battleship that loves to be surrounded by enemies. Take Trick Shot for example. This item allows its adjacent weapons to also shoot an extra bullet backwards whenever they fire.

Maximum Firepower

With this update, we're also introducing two new mechanics. The Overheat status effect can be applied to enemy ships, causing them to take damage from their own weapons whenever they fire.

Of course, there's more to this than just a debuff. Ace also has the almighty Inferno Missiles, which stick to enemies and turn into their own weapons (which damage their allies).

High Risk, High Reward

Ace also takes advantage of the new Dodge mechanic. Dodge is a resource that you spend to ignore bullets that would normally hit you. Because of this, Ace can even afford to sacrifice shield for some extra power.
