While these will be the last available public levels until the full launch (can't spoil too much), this is still a good chunk of the game, and we'll be releasing another demo later on with many more features and overhauls. We'd love to hear your feedback on how freakishly good of a job we did!

With that out of the way, here's some lovely patch notes:

NEW FEATURES

  • S. S. Skullship and it's boss, Henry McGuy

  • Fruit Juice Factory and it's boss, Larry McPeel (they're brothers!)

  • Social media links on the title screen. You can highlight or click them! You should, even!

QUALITY OF LIFE

  • All levels have a slightly shorter timer, just enough to not get monotonous!

  • Frenzy now begins with 60 seconds remaining; yorbs will now despawn during overtime (under zero seconds) instead of during frenzy

  • Additional HUD effects to better signpost gameplay (here's hoping we won't have to do a big tutorial now)

  • Several score rebalances

  • Revenge bullets now spawn from visible, tiny black holes, giving you more of a warning

  • Powerups can now destroy revenge bullets

  • Challenge modes generally made much easier

  • I got new mouthwash at home

Now get out there and start blasting, those rainbow monkeys aren't gonna save themselves!
