Patch Notes

• Added score breakdown mode, enable "Score Info" in Options -> Gameplay.
• Added an optional new bullet colour scheme. Enable it in Options -> Gameplay.
• Added a "Darken Background" option. Enable it in Options -> Gameplay.
• Added "Low-Spec Mode". This disables all stencil effects, which seem to be buggy on old hardware.
• Added -windowed and -fullscreen launch flags - useful for resetting configuration if you've misconfigured the game.
• Added the ability to select which controller to use (the game defaults to accepting anything) in the Input menu.
• The True Last Boss no longer activates for credit feeders.
• Unlocking free play now instantly enables it.
• Players with all buyable unlocks no longer see star income.
• Fixed a safespot in HEURISTIC/NUDGE.
• The break for GUTTERSNIPE is hinted now.
• The break for OVERTIME is now more consistent. (Previously, part of the requirement was that you finish it off by dealing damage to the mech and not an option - this was an oversight)
• Fixed a bug with SQUIB where the big projectile would rattle at the bottom of the screen.
• Fixed erratic behaviour when the stage 3 midboss is timed out.
• Fixed a small quirk where a player in game over would have too many bombs and ammo.
• Gallery text can now be hidden with the "Rapid Fire" button.
• All missions now show quotas or A+ status where applicable.
• Carrier enemies in stage 3 now fly away after a time.
• Added a prompt at the end of the credits roll.
• Improved the game flow when going back to the menu from missions and stage select.
• Enter, Backspace, Escape and Space, Arrow Keys now always perform game functions unless bound otherwise.
• Fixed a bug where beeps played in the name entry were too loud.
• Fixed a bug where music wouldn't seek to the right place on certain stages in Stage Select mode.
• Fixed a bug where enemy spawns are inconsistent between standard play and Stage Select on stage 3.
• Fixed some typos and odd grammar.
• Fixed a 200MB memory leak in Gallery mode.
• Fixed a quirk where the game would draw duplicate frames, putting unnecessary stress on the graphics card.
• The FPS counter now shows the FPS the game is actually running at. Please note, due to a quirk of the engine, external FPS counters may show high numbers if v-sync is turned off.
• Fixed a hard crash in aspect ratio selection on certain monitor setups.
• Fixed an issue with the "Boss Rush" mission where it couldn't be cleared.
• Added a tentative fix for a "black lines in stage background" issue on some graphics cards.
