addedWe've released a relatively major content and balance update for Cosmonator. We have added a new level, a phasing cooldown indicator and several new enemies. We have also balanced the player progression curve. This was mostly in order to address complaints relating to player progression and the cash reward penalty. Please remember that due to balance changes, the playing experience of existing profiles (especially advanced profiles) will have been affected in some cases. You might be surprised by how much cash reward you suddenly get now, for instance, but some of the later levels will also feel slightly more difficult. Please enjoy! As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated! We'd like to give a shoutout to Kela420, Stardragon EX and Slewey for their invaluable feedback so far! Kela420 is officially the first person to complete Cosmonator on Impossible difficulty. A monumental feat! Full details as follows: Features
