Over the past year I have received great support and feedback from players and fellow devs. They inspired me to return to the game and update it to be more friendly and fun for the player, and a more streamlined and logical experience. Major improvements being a proper in game tutorial, simplified upgrade system and refined player controls.

A quick patch that makes new games default to easy mode, this is to help new players not be punished so hard while they learn the ropes. Easy mode is more casual, it gives you 99 lives and softens enemies, increases starting stats etc. Of course you can still choose normal or hard modes before beginning a game.
Normal and Hard modes are highly recommended if you are looking for a challenge.
