New exploder and cluster bomb weapon improvements! (v1.22.4.3)

Announcing a new update for BlastZone 2! This greatly improves all exploder and cluster bomb weapons in the game so they explode on impact instead of only being timer-based. This makes these weapons very effective at close range in addition to the medium range spread they already had. This also eliminates the need for perfect timing to hit a group of enemies effectively, as enemies will now crash into the bombardment of explosions instead of often flying right through. There is a small amount of bonus damage done to enemies that impact an un-exploded shot as well. When the new improved cluster bomb is used against bosses at close range, it is very effective at concentrating the damage for devastating effect! The ships affected by these new weapon changes are the B1(Phalanx), B2(Behemoth), and AB1(Devastator), so try them out and experiment for yourself!

To ensure you have this update, start the game and check the lower left corner of the title screen for “v1.22.4.3” or higher, enjoy!

In case anyone missed it, there have been a few other updates recently, including a new improved local multiplayer ship selection screen, and fixes including the leaderboard popup issue. Take a look and feel free to leave feedback in the discussion board!
