10/2/2023 The Big Update of Gameplay and Cheese


I'm gonna be honest, I planned to break this one up into the next few days so that I could properly test all the changes before uploading them. But then I found one massive bug in the thruster power curves only after making all the changes... so I've kinda gotta publish them all at once now unless I want to go through the work of separating them out, which I don't want to.

Mostly worked on nerfing cheese strats and making difficulty easier for beginner players on this one.

Changes include:

  • High score text overlaps less with spacetime background.
  • Bullet can get sucked into wormhole.
  • Thrusters decrease in power with continuous use.
  • Fixed an overflow bug in DIST() function
  • Fixed the ability to change scale on player and meteors.
  • Increased size of player, in visuals only.
  • Decreased initial meteor spawn frequency.
  • Decreased rate at which meteor spawn frequency increases.
  • Halved the frequency of score level up sound- plays at multiples of 100 now instead of 50.
  • Start direction switches between left/right randomly.
  • Added more sounds for higher score increases.
  • Added high score jingle.
