Beat Blaster - Version 0.2.1​ - Patch Notes


Thank You!

Hello everyone, as due with time and the closure of the game jam, we have implemented changes from feedback and play testing. With this game's development and from the feedback we have received (either in person, or on the itch page) we have both learnt a lot in areas which we can improve.  So to start we just wanted to say thank you for the support and feedback on the game. 

New in version 0.2.1
  • The bottom trail for the enemies to spawn on has been shifted up a little as well as moved the other rows a tiny bit closer in to reduce difficulty and encourage players to shoot between rows to maximize their damage output as well as accuracy.
  • The player's up speed has been reduced slightly to further make it easier to hit the bottom row, without making top row shots feel too sluggish.
  • The player's shield will not regenerate rapidly after a short delay.
  • The introduction will only play once
  • Changing difficulty will now correctly restart the player (instead of requiring the player to resume)
  • Activating the shield will destroy projectiles above the player to prevent  close missing.
  • All difficulties have been scaled back from a starting speed from 1x to a speed of 0.7x for a better build up
  • The player's health will now start at 5 on normal, 3 on hard and 1 on insane
  • Camera has been moved slightly to present more of the scene
  • Various UI changes and rewrites to match A and B
  • Various grammar and hint changes to fit version
  • Added visual to indicate to the user more menu's are available when paused.
  • Added version number in the credits
  • Added insane difficulty
  • Removed easy difficulty
  • Removed the shield from being "broken" when recharging
Backdoor Changes
  • Redone player input method
  • Redone how the OnAwake Intro(); is managed
  • Translated huge blocks into public functions.
  • Added lots of simple and useful functions.
  • Closed-Android port in testing
