V2.05 BETA

I have just uploaded a BETA branch for V2.05. I would love to hear some feedback on it. Some of the changes are detailed below, as well as how to use the BETA branch through Steam.

Bit Blaster XL - V2.05 BETA

To try out the BETA version;

--> Right click the game in the library tab --> Click Properties --> Click the BETAS tab --> From the Drop down box select the beta --> Click close The beta should then automatically download. Make sure that if the BETA doesn't work for you, you use the same method to turn it off. The BETA version includes some fixes and changes such as; --> New brake system that piggy backs on the boost system, allowing for even more precise control. The brake can be used by pressing "b" on the gamepad or down on the keyboard. It will slow the players ship instead of speed up. Thanks to all that suggested this, I think it's going to work out great. --> Various improvements / changes to the new pause menu. --> Revamped various explosions and other minor GFX details Thank you to everyone for playing and offering feedback and leaving great reviews. Please continue to share Bit Blaster XL with friends and family, I greatly appreciate it. Adam Nickerson Nickervision Studios

A throwback to the classic quarter eating arcade games of the 80's. Bit Blaster XL is a retro styled, addictive, and fast paced arcade shoot 'em up! (shmup).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● Easy to learn, simple arcade style Controls to turn your ship and boost (can also use a gamepad) (not a twin stick shooter)
● A variety of wicked Power ups like Split Shot, Heat seekers, Lasers, and Blast Shot to assist your survival.
● Several unlockable ships to pilot with unique attributes to give you an edge in the Leaderboards
● Endless survival (infinite) score chasing game play with a classic arcade style
● Steam achievements, leaderboards & Trading cards! (with emoticons & profile wallpapers)
● Cool retro pixel Graphics.
● Gameplay inspired by Luftrausers, Asteroids, Space Invaders and Geometry Wars (some of my favorites)
● Unique chiptune songs for each ship.
● Manual Fire mode for those that want a different experience.

Description of Gameplay:
Your ship can not stop moving; so turn it left and right and use your boost to keep from running into an ever increasing amount of enemies.
Your ship is always shooting, so make sure to pick up more ammo and the variety of awesome power ups to help you survive longer.
Get the highest score you can while collecting coins to buy more ships that are faster, shoot faster, or have more shields.

Do not hesitate to contact me if there are any problems with the game.
Bit Blaster is also available free & ad supported on iOS and Android.
Thanks for playing, I hope you have some fun with it :)
