My dumb ass, in the last update (0.4.4.6) made a few changes to the way the game gets the leader-board information from the server, so that it's updated in real time, or as close to it as possible. This introduced frame drops when its trying to reach the server to see if there are any updates, as it waited for the server to reply before it continued. That was bad design on my side. I fixed it now so there should be no more frame drops, hopefully. I've also made a change so that if you're at max shields, and you loose a shield and are trying to pick up a new shield while the animation of the old one hasn't finished, now it will let you do so. Before you could not have a new shield until the animation of the old one had finished.

Vecter is a fast-paced runner and shooter game where your goal is to survive by the skin of your teeth and raise hell in your path. You get in your ship, you push the throttle on max and then try to survive for as long as possible by annihilating anything that gets in your way.

There are obstacles, there are enemies, there are power-ups and there will be plenty more to come! I hope you're good at staring contests because you will not have the luxury of blinking!

Compete with your friends and with strangers for the top spot of the daily leaderboard. If you're top dog for that day, you remain top dog for that day on that track forever! It's all you, you did it!

And you don't need to be in-game to show off your position, you can also take it to your friends house and brag about your greatness while everyone is awkwardly ignoring you for boasting about something nobody's even heard about. Here's the link in case you need it



One important thing to note is that Vecter does not have a road-map, or a planed out future. There is a trello board with features that I plan on implementing and the feature request channel on the Vecter discord server.

I'm a one-man dev team, and I'm making this game purely out of passion around all of my other IRL commitments, so development sometimes may be slow. It's a hobby and a damn fun one at that but at this stage it's still just a hobby.

Among other things I'm also making an arcade version of vecter complete with it's own cabinet.
