Greetings Calyx players!
We’re thrilled to announce that version 3 of the Calyx Demo is now live!
There are lots of new things to try out, including:
- 6 new Challenge maps.
- Events system - for example, a sandstorm that reduces solar power and weapon range.
- Calyx species get even stronger, and lash out when attacked.
- Build the Unit Workshop to unlock unit upgrades.
- Formation types: select different shapes for groups of units. Use Shift to flip them 180 degrees.
- Zeus Cannon unit. It’s a big laser tank!
- Ore Thumper building. Makes an Ore patch regenerate faster, but uses a lot of power.
- Flamethrower Turrets. A fiery new variant for your defences.
- Show attack ranges of all objects by pressing R.
We also added some new settings:
- Disable chromatic aberration.
- Change the autosave interval.
- Adjust volume of voices separately.
Plus there are many smaller tweaks, balancing and polish items.
Thanks and we hope you enjoy!
