Changes

Most ships now start with a device.

A device is now always available for purchase at the shop.

The "Device Code" module is used to increase the quantity you can purchase which helps you improve a device that can stack.

A weapon is now always available for purchase at the shop.

The "Advanced Weapons Key" module is used to improve the weapon stats (damage, fire rate) which is randomly rolled when you purchase a weapon at the shop.

Restock shop price lowered from 500 to 250.

The price of modules in the shop is now fixed and no longer changes based on number of stacks that are currently equipped.

You can enter shops as soon as the entrance is on screen instead of having to wait for the shop to scroll to near the center.

Some stages such as hazard and asteroid have been shortened slightly.

The option to display floating credits text for kills is now turned off by default.

Split up platform and hazard stages into separate levels to lower memory and load times.

Added a low intensity light to the player ship to help see and avoid darker geometry such as rock ceilings.

Bugs

Fixed a soft lock when disconnecting a game controller and the Quit Game confirmation dialog was active.

Achievements for completing two hard stages in a sector were not registering. This bug was introduced in 0.7.1 and is now fixed.

Player ship rotation is reset between runs/stages.

Misc

Updated Unity to version 2022.3.55
