Hi there,
Patch: 0.2.21
The steam store page is almost done, so now I can get back to work, and deliver new content once again!
New flight arena
Detected Native artifact power signature: Irides
Irides can sooth the exposure from Mind Eaters call.
When you fly through one, you gain precious seconds. The quicker you fly, the more time you get!
Warning: Irids close if you use jump drive! They will open again, once you hide away from the Mind Eaters gaze.
This new encounter will appear at least once, somewhere in the middle/end of the run.
New Flight game mechanic
If you use shield counter just before hitting an obstacle, you can bounce in a chosen direction, while maintaining velocity. You can bounce around with insane speeds like a guided cannon ball, or crash and explode, if you miss the timing.
Other changes
- Improvement: Starborne Nexus will use jump drive and chase you if it's hurt enough. This should make cheesing the boss fight, with a long range weapon less viable.
- Improvement: Reworked ship's rotation movement, it's significantly smoother now.
- Bug-fix: Dying after Nexus appeared, could reduce the arrival progress, making the Nexus disappear.
Dear beta testers,
Have fun!
