Monjarmageddon has been updated to its latest version, 1.3.1, up from the previous 1.2.1 (there's been a short lived 1.3.0 along the way).
While the initial ideal for the game was for it to give a similar feeling to old time arcade games, it is understandable that such difficulty and inability to progress was more a constraint than a design decision. Thus, the save system has been updated, allowing the player now to pick one of three save slots in which the progress is automatically saved, changing difficulty on those at any given time.
The difficulties have been revamped once again, given new names, a new default, and some adjustments to projectile speeds. The game has been designed to be played in Difficult, but anyone should and could enjoy the game by playing in the now default Normal difficulty.
Furthermore, an arcade mode has been added, which allows the player to play without saving in the Difficult level, as the game was originally intended to be played.
The changelog list is as follows:
Updated Unity version.
Translated Game Over subtitle.
Improved Game Over screen look.
Revamped save system, adding now three save slots to play with.
Revamped difficulties.
Updated Mantis Shrimp logo.
Added arcade mode, to play without saving.
Improved performance.
Improved some texts.
Vastly improved all Japanese texts.
Fixed resolution scaling in options and game control menus.
Nun is no ordinary nun. Having been blessed with the power of holy cleansing by God, she starts fighting a modern day crusade to save the world from the communist demons that have taken over. Embark on an epic quest of destroying all the evil foes in the way of righteousness in the form of a classic 2D platformer, a challenge worthy of the most expert gamers while providing difficulty settings for those less in touch with the arcades of old.
The game has simple controls that are hard to master, navigate through the twelve levels featured in the six zones available before facing the final boss, each satirising a specific controversial theme that divorces the church with the modern society, where you may expect a mechanical intensive challenge in order to be able to end communism for good. Monjarmageddon will remind you of classical 8 and 16 bit platformers, but at the same time it provides an automatic game save that will help you progress through the increasingly harder levels, and also provides localisation in several languages so you can enjoy the experience in your own tongue.
