DualSense Support
Update 1.0.7 brings support for the PS5's next gen' DualSense controller. You can now enjoy some retro space blasting on a massive selection of controllers including the PS5's DualSense, the PS4's DualShock 4, Xbox One and 360 controllers, the Nintendo Switch Pro controller and loads of other controllers and retro joypads.
Achievement Localisation
Achievements have now been localised into even more languages namely Italian, Portuguese, and Brazilian(Portuguese). This adds to the list of achievement localisation: English, French, German, Dutch, Russian, Spanish, and Spanish(Latin America), bringing the total to 10 languages. A massive thanks to everyone (Patrick "AvengedEvil" Kainer, Eddy Witte, Loï "ElNino" J., Brian Bonilla, Pablo "Azagaya" Fonovich, OGZxFTWGlitcher, Max Candido "M4Ximizando", Matamune Neko & Arison Teotonio) who helped with the localisation.
I've also fixed a few bugs:

Fixed issue where you could not select item in shop without leaving shop and re-entering.
Fixed issue where final space blaster would appear blacked-out even though unlocked.
Fixed issue where mouse cursor would be invisible in menus when using mouse.
Fixed issue where the turret on the 'Weevil' space blaster would lock and be unresponsive in game until starting another game.
Corrected some minor typo's.
Possible Future Updates
Although the game does fully support controlling the game with a DualSense controller; vibration and the controller's lights, speaker & microphone are not yet supported. This is not currently possible but may be in the future. If you'd like to see anything adding to the game or have found a bug just let me know and I'll do my best to add it or fix it.
The game has been getting some great reviews check them out in this accolades trailer:

This update adds a bit of content and fixes some issues that players have been asking for. Here is a list of additions and fixes in update 1.0.5.
Additions:

Added support for more retro gamepads.

When changing the volume slider for 'Voice' in the pause menu the voice no longer says 'Hello' a ridiculous number of times per second.
The correct controls display on the loading screen when in 2 player and player 1 is using keyboard and mouse.
Fixed issue where cursor would not show in pause screen and game-over screen when using keyboard and mouse.
The Cursor is now the correct size when using keyboard and mouse controls in Linux.
Corrected a number of typo's.
*1.0.5a fixes an issue where keys display instead of gamepad buttons after returning to single player from 2 player.
We'll be having a space blaster leaderboard high-score challenge in the coming months with Steam vouchers for prizes so level up your space blasting skills and watch this space.ːsteamhappyː

Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo has received some great press and player feedback since launch. This update adds some new content and make a number of improvements & fixes based on player feedback.
We've added a number of space backgrounds to the various modes in the game to give a bit more variety to the game. Players have been saying some of the text is a little difficult to read especially on 720p displays and on the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode. We've added a new font to certain pieces of text making it easier to read at lower resolutions. Players often found the ammo difficult to tell apart from the asteroid fragments due to its similar colour. All ammo is now a vibrant yellow making it much easier to differentiate from the dull grey space rocks. There was an issue in co-op where when a player re-launched, they would flash for 6 seconds but wouldn't be invincible. This has been fixed, now when you re-launch in co-op you'll be invincible for 6 seconds. Below is a more complete list of fixes and improvements in update 1.0.4.
Improvements & Additions:

A number of space backgrounds added.
Ammo colour changed to yellow to help differentiate it from asteroid fragments.
Certain ships tweaked to give better gameplay.
Survival mode tweaked to give fairer difficulty curve.
Fixes:

New font added to improve readability of text especially at lower resolutions.
Fixed co-op re-launch invincibility.
Corrected some wrongly priced space blasters.
Corrected various typos.
I hope you're enjoying the space blasting. Don't forget to leave Steam reviews for the games you enjoy, it really helps us smaller developers. Thanks for reading and see you in space. Happy blasting!ːsteamhappyː
