Latest Development Update

It's been a while since the last update, but I wanted to show some of the things that have I have been working on in the game, during these crazy times.

First, here's a look at the current maps that are in the latest development build, including the later snowy map that's not featured in the demo which features an extra, an more deadly, enemy - the laser tank! Along with the laser tank, there's some extra danger from laser turrets on the outskirts of the map - these can finish you off if you fail to avoid them once they're active.

In addition to the laser tank, there's a new bot in town - the mine dropper bot. This little fellow spawns every now and then through the portals, and drops a few mines before disintegrating. I call it The Doomba.

Also added just this week is a new power-up weapon, an energy pulse field, that can insta-kill the enemies simply by getting close to them. This one will be popular.

Along with all the above, there's an end of level boss fight for the desert map - which I won't fully show here, it's a surprise!

There's been a few minor changes and tweaks along the way too, including some updated visuals. Basically that means particle systems. I love particle systems.

Portals have a few particles...

The energy power-up crystals have been replaced with a nice column of particles...

Particles for everyone!

And for some extra fun stuff, there be secrets in this 'ere game... Secrets, Easter Eggs, and old-school cheat codes. Your mission is to find them!

Steam global leaderboards are also now implemented, so you can battle for the worlds highest scores!

I think that's it for now, but I'll post another update when there's more to show. Hope this look at the latest development build piques your interest a little, as I'm working towards a full release next year. Keep your eyes peeled.
