This update includes bug fixes, small balance changes and colour customization.
Pick from a preset of colours or choose colours for individual powerups. Colourblind-friendly alternative presets are included!
Accessibility for colourblind players has been a longtime concern, and it's also been a design challenge since colour is used to communicate a lot of gameplay information at high speeds. (You need to know at a glance what powerup an enemy will drop so you can decide when to collect the powerup and plan its usage, all while destroying the enemy itself.) I hope this addition gets players a step closer to playing the game without visual barriers. It's not a perfect solution yet--alternative colours from a limited palette can only replicate so much information where six distinct colours are used by default--but another option is being developed (planned for the next update) that can be used alongside colour customization for even better visibility.
Planned across the next upcoming updates: weapon revamps, significant mechanical additions and... a new game mode? Stay tuned...!
