Dr. Spacezoo v0.7.4 update brings a new Permadeath mode to the game. Fight your way through 20 levels across 5 missions with one life and only the primary laser and whatever secondary weapon you manage to collect along the way. This boss is a total nightmare in Permadeath Mode:

Weapons:

Secondary weapons are acquired in Permadeath Mode via weapon drops, and they replace your current secondary weapon so choose wisely. Also, the defensive Melee Deflector and Force Deflector weapons were made to be much more viable in an offensive capacity. Here's the Force Deflector reducing a fountain, a few enemies, and some jerk faced bees to grease and gibs:
Maybe that Force Deflector is a little too viable now..

Reminder: Price is going to increase as the game becomes more complete!

The price is going to go up from $6.99 USD to $7.99 USD really soon. If you were waiting for a discount to get Dr. Spacezoo, note that it is already very discounted from its final target price.
