Cyberpulse Update 1.6

After receiving more great player feedback, I have implemented the following upgrades:

QoL Improvements

• There are now sliders to adjust bloom and saturation in the graphics settings! These should help tune the visuals and gameplay for monitors where it may be too intense.

• There is also a new slider to reduce screen shake in the gameplay settings, if you do not enjoy the added effect.

• All ability power-ups get a tool tip, rather than just the first two, to help explain their mechanics and avoid player trial-and-error.

• NOTE: These new tooltips apply to everyone—even if you have progressed far you will still have the them pop for the applicable power-ups. I apologize if this spends a charge poorly, but I had someone on the boards ask how

  Sword

  works after having finished the game, so I think best to leave the new tooltips fresh for all.

Boss Rebalance

Without changing score potential, so the leaderboards remain intact, I have made a number of early- and mid-game bosses a little easier:

• 1-B: The aimed clumps fired in the final phase are 15% slower.

• 2-B: The spraying gun in the first phase has 15% less bullet density.

• 3-B: The first phase has slower bullets and less density on the sniping shots. In the final phase, gravity slam is only triggered once you have taken out a limb. The grenades used throughout the fight fire more slowly and with less density.

• 5-B: Both patterns used by the turret limbs in the first phase have less density. The bullet patterns in the final phase fire more slowly and with one fewer bullet.

• 6-B: Both grenades used in the fight fire fewer bullets and in an easier to dodge pattern.

Tweaks and Fixes

• In small ways, this list of levels have had their score goals adjusted to help players progress:

  Apogee I, Apogee II, Apogee III, Barcode, Binary, Boolean, Citadel, Clash I, Congruence, Convergence, Divergence, Flash, Gridlock, Haywire, Precision I, Quickdraw, Reboot, Rebound, Recompiler, Shockwave, Triangulation, and Trifurcation.

• All settings in the main menu options now loop around correctly when navigating the lists.

• Byte trails are 5% dimmer and blink 2.5% less when close to disappearing.

• Fixed a rare null reference that could happen in world map if you rapidly moved around menus.

Thank you all for playing Cyberpulse!
