Hi Guardians --
SO this update has a few things that it is changing:
1st -- Increased the difficulty once you loop past the final boss. Now instead of facing the same exact bosses, you will fight a remixed version in the second loop -- these will be a lot more dangerous!
2nd -- Added an (Extra) Life Speed adjustment option.
+++ Space Scout (Normal) is what we've all been playing -- some of you have gotten the 10+ life achievement. This is a lot of extra lives!
+++ Space Explorer (Hard) is a little harder! Lives take 2x as long to spawn, and you start with less. However, you're score is multiplied by 1.5x! So if you want to rack up a high score fast, this one's for you!
+++Space Captain (Very Hard) is a lot harder. Lives take 3x as long to spawn, but you get a multiplier of 2x. So if you're confident in your skills, this one's great for you!
+++Retro (Intense!) is the hardest. Lives take 5x as long to spawn, but you get a 2.5x multiplier. If you are lucky, you might get 4-5 before the final boss on the "Welcome To Earth" boss speed. Each extra life is a blessing, and you need to hit them as soon as you see them, cuz it will be a while before you seen one again.
+++Lonely Last Hope is for people who are either A) Way too cocky or B) Way too good. Or like, both. Score multiplier is 5x. The downside ?? You start with one life. Singular. I guess you could call this survival mode. If you can get to the final boss, you can earn 1 (!!!!) additional life. If you manage to shoot it down in the chaos.
Good luck! The USS Goose is in good hands (I hope!)
