New Enemies
The primary content of this update are the 3 new enemies it introduces, 2 of which have fully new and unique mechanics adding additional challenge to the game.
Poisonous Monster
A new flying alien that passes through enemies and explodes on death, leaving behind a poisonous cloud. The initial explosion deals damage to nearby enemies but the poison will not affect them. You can pass through the poison clouds but be warned, a poison warning indicator will fill up quickly, dealing damage if you don't escape in time!
Ship Charger
A small enemy ship that pulls back and launches itself to attack. While charging, it can pass through other enemies. Watch out for it's red visual indicator and audio cue to know when to get out of the way!
Blue Multi Slime
This larger, tankier slime combines to death effects of the red and green slimes, resulting in a dangerous burst of 8 lasers fired in all directions when killed. Keep your distance and always make sure you have an escape plan!
Changes
This update features a lot of smaller changes across the whole game, the biggest being when all equipped modules are fully upgraded or the equipped ship has no module slots, the first offered upgrade when leveling up is guaranteed to be a turret upgrade and the last upgrade is guaranteed to be a utility upgrade. This should provide more consistency and control over builds for ships in the late game and make the Corvette ship less random.
