I'm delighted to announce that a demo of Super Space Crystals is now playable in your web browser at:

Much thanks to everybody on the game's Discord server who helped with testing and improving this demo! There have been a lot of changes over the past week:
Crystal spawners have been updated to keep up with fast-moving players in the late game
Orbs move toward the player with greater speed
Two of the speed upgrades now buff the Orb Magnet stat, to prevent speed-heavy builds making it too difficult to collect orbs
Saucer shots no longer spin so wildly when they deflect off player shots or other objects
Saucers glow visibly as they obtain a targeting lock and prepare to fire at the player
The color of the red saucers has been changed to orange, to help make them visually distinct from the color of their shots
Sound effects have been added to the shots fired by the saucers
The Spoils of War upgrade has been nerfed slightly
The Tab and Backspace keys can now be used to pause the game without dropping out of full screen display mode in the web build
The controls list dialog has been updated and refreshed
The packaging system has been made more robust
It's been a long road, and the real journey is just beginning! Next week I'll be starting work on Steam integration, we so can get Steam playtesting started in September! Cheers!
