We've pushed a small update to the game, which will add a new feature that will help you out on those especially challenging missions.
After you die and fail a mission, you will be presented with a "Modifier" screen that will pop up before you restart. This will allow you to apply a massive Armor boost, full ammo for your loadout, or both. This is absolutely optional, and is not required to be activated to clear the game, it is just a way that we can offer an easier adventure for those who struggle.
We will continue to itterate on the difficulty of the game, and we really do take your feedback to heart.
Other fixes and changes applied in this update:
Gameplay: Laser shows channeling time remaining in weapon bar.
Gameplay: Plasma Orb shows charge up level in weapon bar.
Bug Fix: Armor warnings now work off % of armor remaining.
Megacopter blends 80s/90s retro games (Choplifter, Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike) and TV (Airwolf, Knight Rider) with updated gameplay and sci-fi adventure.
Features:
Missions: Play a variety of mission types. Seek and destroy missions feature an escalating threat level as you penetrate enemy lines. Rescue missions allow you to save your comrades (choplifter style). Defense missions feature waves of enemies. Boss hunt missions feature a powerful enemy.
2D Action: Battle enemies on the ground and in the air. Equip the Megacopter with a loadout of weapon systems that can rearm independently. Consume the blood of your enemies to unleash powerful AZ-TECH: ancient weaponry and armor that only the Megacopter can wield.
Progression: Purchase improvements to the Megacopter and its weapons that suite your play style and preferred loadout. Sacrifice the blood of your enemies to the gods to unlock AZ-TECH abilities.
Adventure: Meet the sentient Megacopter, Jack the Pilot, Hobo Jones and his crew, and many more.
Soundtrack: Original soundtrack by OGRE sound. These amazing retro tracks will get you in the mood to seek and destroy.
