What changed
- UI and audio
NEW THINGS
> Twitch integration: It is now possible to have your minions "named" after random people in the chat room of a selected Twitch channel. > Added sounds for: flying minions ground impact, Zappers being birthed by Sky Queen, harvester death, Swarm Queen death. > Projectiles now have shadows! > Bomber shadows are now animated! > "Wormy" countdown timer looks better and is better optimized.
BALANCE CHANGES
> Groups of Goop Slugs are a bit smarter and are less likely to just heal each other. > The enemy is better at countering your Sky Queens. > Bombers now prefer to bomb anti-air minions. > Smartbug Launchers and Siege Caterpillars are better at selecting targets (instead of over-killing the same target), and are more likely to target special units (Goop Slugs and Waddle Rockets). > Smartbug Launchers and Siege Caterpillars have slightly less health to account for the higher damage output. > The enemy is more likely to actually spawn Smartbug Launchers and Siege Caterpillars. > Tanks are better at shooting down Smartbugs.
MINOR CHANGES
> Harvester button now "greys out" when you have max. > The downgrade/cancel button looks less like a "back" button. > End screen now shows which stars you did or didn't get, and why. > End screen shows on what difficulty you just lost at.
BUG FIXES
> The final campaign level is no longer impossible to finish if your Queen almost dies. > Extra organs no longer disable themselves if you drag them up. > Losing no longer counts as a 3-star win. O.o
