Build 12, with vocal TALENT!


Weve had a big release on other platforms, and brought the improvements made along the way to the Windows version as well! Weve been lucky to work with 3 talented voice actors to bring the characters of Edrist, Ajax, Konel, and Bucket to life. Now, playing through the campaign sounds wrong without them. Their websites as well as many other changes you can check out below! Unfortunately, this update is not yet available for Linux. We hope to bring that, and a Mac version to you very soon! This is an exciting update that should bring a lot of energy to Galacide. Check-in on our Discord for more updates! Check out our updates to Dystopia and Blade Symphony that has been released alongside this as well!

Changelog


Changes


  • All characters now have voiceover audio for every dialog line in the game. Thanks to Madison Lee, Garrett Kiesel, and Wolf Williams!
  • Added outlines to player ships to make it easier to see your own ship, especially useful for when there are many players in multiplayer.
  • Any number of players can now initiate warp in multiplayer. The speed of the warp will scale with the number of players currently at the front of the screen.
  • Made the Hold to Ready bar visible at all times on the ship select screen until the player readies up.
  • Changed dialog text within the tutorial to show button mappings for the gamepad.
  • Changed some patterns of various Bit configurations in the Tutorial and the first Campaign level.

Optimizations


  • Gunfire volume now scales based on player count.
  • Optimization of various assets, materials, and lighting to improve performance on lower specs hardware.

Bug Fixes


  • Fixed Bit idle animations sometimes only playing once.
  • Loading screen should no longer stutter during loading.
  • Fade from black on puzzle selection screen should fade all parts of the puzzle selection screen correctly.
  • Missiles should no longer sometimes change direction drastically.
  • Snake Boss vacuum projectile should no longer fire backwards.
  • It should be impossible to become stuck in the tutorial by morphing Bits that are unintended to be cleared.

Galacide is an evolution of the shoot ‘em up genre, combining the fast-paced action from classic shooters with the quick-thinking tactics of puzzlers. Choose from a variety of ships, each equipped with unique features and abilities. Embark on your mission to tunnel through the strengthening alien invasion, find it’s source, and save the galaxy! Go it alone or assemble a squad of your friends to battle in the most unforgiving corners of the universe!

Please note, because of Engine limitations, mouse control is not yet supported on Galacide's in-game menus. We hope to bring support in the future.


In Galacide, you must carefully strike a balance between fighting the enemy and tunneling through the encroaching Bitwall, as neglecting either will assuredly result in your demise. It’ll take a combination of skill, luck, and an advanced spacecraft to ensure your success, so choosing the right craft for your piloting style is key:
  • Mining Ship - A retrofitted asteroid mining vessel, this ship has a solid balance of agility, strength, and firepower, and is equipped with a powerful tractor beam used to pull in enemy Scrap.
  • Freighter - A re-purposed cargo-hauler, this ship may not be the fastest or hit enemies the hardest, but it’s as durable as they come, with the ability store & retrieve enemy scrap in its cache.
  • Phase Ship - A top-secret military experiment, this ship is able to move extraordinarily fast and temporarily phase through the Bitwall, while dodging enemy attacks.
  • Military Ship - The accepted standard for military conflict, this ship boasts huge strength and firepower. Homing missiles lock on targets, and the ability to burst through the Bitwall, carving its own path.


As part of your mission to eradicate the alien invasion, you will journey across the galaxy and visit unique destinations like asteroid fields, planets, mining depots, and junk yards - Each location bringing you one step closer to finding the invasion’s source!


Galacide is regularly updated with improvements and new features, and currently has the following functionality:
  • 4 Player Co-op - Enlist the aid of your comrades in your fight to save the galaxy, with 4 player local co-op!
  • Campaign - Fight your way through unique environments and challenges to discover the source of the alien scourge and eliminate it!
  • Endless Play - See how far you can make it fighting through endless hordes of enemies and tunneling through the advancing bitwall!
  • Puzzle Play - Complete progressively more difficult scenarios that challenge your mind, not your trigger finger!
  • 4 Playable Ships - Choose from the Mining Ship, Freighter, and Phase Ship, each equipped with special abilities and unique attributes!
  • In-game Tutorial - Become an ace pilot by going through a quick training program.
  • Leaderboards - Track your skills and see how you compare to your friends and the best pilots in the universe!
  • Steam Economy - Achievements, Trading Cards, Badges and collectible Emoticons.
