The player ship and all enemies actually have a light, however it cannot normally be seen in most cases. To remedy this:

  • Added grid backdrop. The backdrop not only diffuses light, but certain events in game will make the grid warp.

  • Most explosions now cast light which the grid will diffuse, adding more visual effects to the experience.

  • Modes like pacifism have a large amount of enemies dying at once, which causes performance issues, and as such, explosions from enemies here won't use pixel-lights

  • Steam deck players may have noticed that the online leaderboards did not fit on the screen. The leaderboards have been moved back to remedy this.

  • Personal records have been given their own screen, since the sheer amount of modes has made the previous setup impractical.
