Added achievements!
Made adjustments on some enemy fire rates and movement speeds in later stages.
Made the targeting cursor more visible when using the mouse.
Fixed the scoreboard so it displays the correct level number after a loop.
Fixed a bug where dashing inside an enemy beam would rarely destroy all shields.

Release Announcement - Hello 1.0
It is finally done!
A challenging space shooter with 50 levels that get harder as you advance to the next loop. Take control of a space fighter, upgrade your ship and blast away!
Here is a short taste of the single-player, late-game experience.
I am a solo developer and I have been working on this side project of mine for quite some time now. The development began with an inspiration from Warblade (an amazing classic) and took off from there. I wanted to create a small space shooter that could be played from the same keyboard by two people. After achieving that, I kept adding weapons, experimented with different mechanics and it shaped into the game you see now.
The additions started to become a nuisance rather than fun. It made the game a little hard to get into by introducing a learning curve. So I added gamepad support and mouse control (for one of the players). Added a dash mechanic with upgrades and reworked some of the levels and here we are. A top-down space shooter with a non-twin stick setup.
Special thanks to Taylan for most of the UI and my brother for the voice recordings. :)
In the future
I have ideas and feedback about what could be added to the game. These include more items/aliens and a new game mode. But it all depends on how well the game is received. I will post updates if there are any new additions or future plans.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy Burst Drive. If you've played it, please let me know what you think about it.
