Hey all you Galv-heads out there! Today’s update is very special because it’s going to shake up the base game in two key ways:
Explosions now propel smaller enemies! Be sure to use this new kinetic power irresponsibly.
Powerups have been added to the mix! Find them tucked away in the nooks and crannies of each level to spice up your gameplay. Powerups include Rapid Fire, Instagib, Turbo, and Springboots.
If you like straight to the point bullet points more:
Reworked enemy navigation
Reworked enemy physics
Some enemies may now be knocked back by explosions
Player movement bugfixes
Various 3D rendering improvements
Added a super sampled text buffer for more readable 2D text

Wall jumping has been tuned to be more forgiving
E1M2 (Highway Level) roads now bounce the player on Easy and Medium (was previously an instakill on all difficulties)
