v133 - level size changes
I've been working on the code that generates the levels. Because they need to change size dynamically, the levels are now much smaller. Later on I'll code it so they change size depending on which planet you're on.

v124 - Scrolling credits + music stuff
So far the credit list has been static, and as such it was hard to get it to fit on one screen. This has been fixed - now the credits are as long as need be but will scroll slowly like in the movies. I've also started p…

v123
Various bug fixes behind the scenes. The achievement works again (if you're curious, the exporter used by the game engine had been replaced, and so the software used for Steam functionality had to be replaced as well).

Rework of the early access achievement
When I started making the game I wanted to incentivize players to try it. One of the ways I decided to do that was to create an achievement rewarding people who played during early access. I hadn't thought it through th…

Achievement working again
I was finally able to make the achievement work again, after lots of testing. I even found a way to manually reset the achievement status so I don't have to ask others to test - so I feel pretty confident it should work…

Wasps!
I've begun implementing the wasps again (will be changed to a different creature once I figure out what). When they see you, they will stop moving and stare at you for a bit. After that they'll be so angry at you they r…

Enemy code revamp + new logo
I discovered a major flaw in the way enemies were coded. You probably won't notice much difference, but it need to be done :) I also made a new logo. The existing one hadn't been changed since Ludum Dare 48. I'm not a p…
