Repeated intro

Hey guys,

What changed

0 fixes2 additions2 changes1 removal
  • Gameplay
changedUntil now the tool was, frankly, very boring and unspectacularly. But not anymore. I improved the fireworks tool greatly and I believe that you will like it, too. At least I hope so. :)
removedHonestly before the update, I considered removing the fireworks tool from the game, because I really found it bad and was afraid it could put a bad light on the game. I really wanted to improve it for a long time, but it was hard to find any suitable sprites. At best I wanted to have a complete animation as a spritesheet for various fireworks explosions, but that did not work out without financial involvement.
addedBUT fortunately I eventually went a different path for the improvement: I used some free laser sprites and animated the new explosions programmatically.
addedBut see for yourself. Here is a small demo video of the upcoming new fireworks tool:
changedI'm really excited for the 5-Year-Anniversary update on Feburary 14th, 2025! Stay tuned!

And I have to say that the fireworks tool has now become one of my favorite tools!
