Halloween Special
For limited time (till midnight 4th Nov. pacific time), some of the commonly seen sea monsters like crabs, sharks and small turtles are infested and transformed into pimpkins, destroying them will release massive mount of debris kind of like what we do when we smash open pumpkins. So, have fun with it! Smash a lot!

For this 1.1 Update, we want to introduce you our new character - Fiona, younger sister of Carina!
Fiona is a young curious scientist. She was found missing during an expedition misison piloting her little biplane over the ocean. Not sure if you ever noted, when her older sister Carina meets the final boss, she demands the boss to return Fiona back, so if you can defeat the final boss you will retrieve Fiona back and play it in the game!
Fiona's plane is small, weak in HP (only 1 hp at start XD) but excel in maneuver: ｍoving around with highest speed among all other characters, whilst shooting normal bullets the speed is halved, making dogging easier.
....and as usual, some bug fixes and mechanic updates are all over here:
