Watarcade 1.11.1 (Vortex Voyage Rework)

So a while back a fan had some thoughts on Vortex Voyage. I told them I like their ideas and that it would be the next update! It wasn't, but here it is now.

Vortex Voyage Rework

General Fixes

• Boom Bullets don’t crash multiplayer

• A whole lot of other stuff that would crash multiplayer doesn’t now

• Multiplayer chain explosions work

• Multiplayer “asteroids” generate correctly

• Node explosions visual glitch no longer says “+0” points

Quality of Life

• Starting a custom game with 0 for all powerup frequencies no longer crashes the game

• You can see powerups on the map after the base has been destroyed

• The nodes and edges of bases will become intangible while they are blowing up

• Stats for highest amounts of each powerup will mess up stat formatting at higher amounts

• Bases are more likely to spawn with an open path to the core

• You can hold SHIFT to shoot only 1 bullet. (Instructions now reflect this)

• You can now zoom out a little

• There is now a manual steering mode if you want a little more challenge when moving. You use your mouse in this mode and can even click to shoot from angles you couldn’t before

Lives Balancing

• For the first 100k points, gain 1 life every 10k

• Up until 1m, gain 1 life every 50k

• Gain 1 life every 100k onward

Powerup Changes

• Green ramp up attack speed slower and has a limit

• Blue ramp up move speed slower and has a limit

• Yellow now gives a percent chance for bullets to ricochet off of walls

• Orange bullets have much less spread and progress to have 5 bullets in each direction

• Purple no longer gives lives. Instead, you start firing your own guided missiles

• You can now lift the new limits with custom mode

Shape Changes

• All fighter-shapes and node-shapes have dynamic HP dependent on the current wave, and color (except for stars and squares)

• Squares now spawn circles and triangles as well. Later spawning 2 at once. Even later, they start spawning tougher versions

• Circle nodes Shoot faster. And even faster the more damaged they are

• Triangle nodes now spin after being damaged. After a full rotation, they spawn a triangle fighter. They spin faster the more damage they take

• Single Player Menu buttons now say “Play” before “Time Trial”/”Standard”/”Custom”. I hope that makes it clear that's the play button. - The Sub Wiggly spawn fix - Forgot to put in a how to play for Marine Survey. It’s in now though - Made the Yarr Yields instructions more concise - More messages!
