addedTrading CardsTrading cards! I've always wanted to add trading cards but I had to wait for Steam to grant permission to do so. They require a game to have a certain level of community interaction. Along with trading cards, there's profile badges, profile backgrounds and emotes that are earned by collecting all the trading cards.
addedBoss RushThe new boss rush mode serves two purposes. 1. To test your mettle against the Pearly Knights with minimal upgrades. 2. There's a boss that has three different phases and you only get to fight the first two phases once in regular play. So the boss rush lets you fight all three phases. And ya know... it looks good on paper. "Boss Rush". See?
addedSynergiesNew Synergies! Natural occurring synergies are great. But I love synergies that grant a whole new mechanic or boost. So I added 12 more bringing the total to 31!
addedTooth CapsTooth Caps! These are just cosmetic but honestly, I love adding them. They're easy and fun. Love some good teeth bling.
addedWhat's NextWell is this the LAST update for Cavity Busters!? Who knows. It is for now. (besides the 900 updates I'll do to fix whatever this update broke) I'm working on my new game, Gum Flesh, and I need to get going on that. There's a very early demo available. Go play and wishlist!
