Easy Mode is now easier.

This is a difficult shmup to get through and to make the game more accessible to players new to the genre I have made a change to the Easy Mode difficulty of the game.

When starting a game on Easy Mode the player will immediately receive 3 x Shield Points which grants 3 direct hits (from standard enemy bullets only) before the player loses a life. When the player loses a life and the ship respawns the player will again be granted 3 x Shield Points (providing the shield points are below a value of 3)

This change has also been applied to the DEMO version of the game and will not effect other difficulty modes which will remain the same.

New difficulty modes are planned to be implemented soon for players that want a difficult and pure shoot em up challenge.

Thanks for playing ;-)
