This update introduces a new single player mode: Asteroid Defence. In this mode you control a turret upon a planet, and have to shoot down asteroids before their orbit brings them on a collision course with your planet.
I haven’t done many changes to the rest of the game this update, aside from some under-the-hood stuff. I will probably be moving straight to version 0.9 with the next update, and consider the game in ‘gamma’; with the implementation of the next game mode, I will have made all the intended and suggested game modes and there will be no more major changes. I will then focus on adding music, improving the visuals, balancing gameplay, creating Steam cards and trying to implement Achievements and/or leaderboards. I also have plans to include the possibility for 4 players wherever possible.
