A big update to Celtreos!
New “Lateral” Weapon
A 5th sideways-class weapon, “Lateral”, has been added to the Plasma Series (and can be used in custom weapon arrays). This fires modules above and below your ship that damage anything they touch, while also periodically firing forward or backward from the current locations of the modules.
Furthermore, this weapon has 5 variations because it fires your default-class weapon (Beam, Gun, Laser, Ring or Rocket)! Some variants, like Beam, can produce substantially different covering fire.
New XP×4 Item
Similar to existing XP×2 but this item quadruples accumulated experience points for the current weapon. It does not last long!
Minor Gameplay Updates
Power-ups now “stack” on the left side to an extent, if you pick up several of them at once.
The Razor weapon has been slightly modified to have a tighter firing range.
A problem with the physics of the Bumper has been fixed, that made the ship more vulnerable to regular fire (even though it was much less vulnerable to walls).
The UI has been tweaked so that buttons bound to the Return key have a slightly different style.
Soundtrack Improvement
Minor changes to the “Mystery” song (used in the “Dark Nebula” stage).
