Happy Hour drop rates & balance patch! While we do feel that the current drop rates are good as they are, we also want to have some ingame events that boost these droprates for those of you with little time. Now there's a drop rate 'Happy Hour' 3x per day in which the drop rate is up to 3x higher!

An often requested feature was infinite waves for the wave defense game mode. We've had to brainstorm a bit on how to best implement it, but I think we found a good solution. You can now toggle the infinite waves checkbox in the wave survival setup menu. Instead of 1 big boss after 10 waves you now get a mini-boss assault-platform that attacks you every fifth wave! They have long range weaponry but aren't especially tanky... Their damage output is serious though!
In addition to that we did the following:
The following ships now have Green Engine Flames:
The following ships now have Yellow/orange Engine Flames:
The following ships now have Purple Engine Flames:
The following ships now have Teal engine flames:
The following ships now have Red engine flames:
Wrapup
That's it for this update! There's a few things we still want to improve upon and we will gradually add those as well. May you be safeguarded from The Light. See you in space!
Time for another update! Among other things we have:
Along with the above we've looked into localization since that has been often requested as well and we might do something with that in the near future.
Share your ideas! We also want to give you guys the opportunity to contribute to the project by sharing your ideas. You can do so on our discord in the feedback and suggestions channel. We'll go over each of the submissions there and see if we can pick up an idea or two and implement those for you guys.
More coming, cheers!
