Steam NextFest

For the next week, Critter Crossfire will be participating in NextFest! Thank you for checking out the game and i hope you enjoy them demo. Make sure to leave a review on the demo and let me know if you have any feedback.

I made a new build of the game to celebrate, so here are some of the changes that went into it.

New Features

  • Shields now have health and can shatter. The shielded enemies were consistently the hardest to deal with, especially for the less-accurate weapons in the game. I decided to give shields health so you can brute-force your way through, but accurate aim will still be rewarded by letting you take out the enemies faster.

  • Single-use items now return after each match. Items like the Helmet, Armor and One Up used to be consumed during a match, which made them harder to build around. Now that they return, you can make a more consistent Death-Revive build or Tank build. As a result, their costs in the shop have also been increased to match their new value.

  • Offscreen Enemy Indicators have been added to the UI. It should be easier to find where enemies are offscreen.

  • Enemies will shoot more often, but their hit chance remains unchanged.

  • There's a new Abandon Run button if things are just not going your way.

Balance Changes

  • Sniper enemies can now get body shots on lower difficulties.

  • Sucker Punch ammo now deals +3 damage instead of +1. The new text reads "Damage an ally to deal +3 damage on your next shot."

  • Decreased the amount of gold earned in the first match. It was too easy to buy every item in the shop.

  • Increased the minimum enemy spawn distance from the player so they won't spawn surrounding your units.
