It's time to kick some "A55" !! ;-)
As promised earlier this week in my teaser seen below, the A55 Kicker is now live! There's probably ..err most certainly more balancing and bugs to do to get it right, but it's here and ready to help you out!

--- You can get your very own A55 Kicker two ways.. ---
1) By collecting a power up that says "A55 KIKR" which will spawn the aluminum beer can turret right where you collect the power-up
2) By collecting the correct number of needed resources shown at the top of your screen just under the G.E.O.S. progression bar. Each wave, the needed resource and number of those required might change. Once you have collected the needed resources, it will tell you to simply press Y (on the controller) or your E key to launch the A55 Kicker where ever your ship is when you press the applicable button to spawn it.
- Crafting an A55 Kicker with resources USES those resources up, so you will not be able to sell those at the selling station, but any other resources you collected on the level can be sold as usual for either points or cash.
- Your A55 Kicker will never get ruined by hitting asteroids, it will bounce harmlessly away and continue blasting as asteroids and enemies if it sees them in range.
- Your A55 Kicker will be vanquished if it is shot by an enemy or if you end the level by shooting all the asteroids.
- If you notice your A55 kicker stopped and shooting nothing, it is because it isn't within shooting distance of an enemy or an asteroid. You can, if you wish, simply go shoot it with your own shots to make it start moving through space so that it will start helping you out again.
- A power-up for the A55 will NEVER spawn if you have already crafted an A55 shooter that is still alive on the screen. You can still craft a second A55 Kicker however if you have collected a power-up A55 Kicker and also collect the required resources to make one!
- Only ONE A55 Kicker is craft-able per level (wave of asteroids)
- The A55 Kicker CANNOT be purchased at the Galactic Upgrade Station between levels. You'll need to either collect and use resources to make one or get a lucky power up which is slightly under a 3% chance every time a power-up spawns on your screen.
Please report any bugs or problems, or questions and suggestions as well below! Also let me know how you like this little bad boy aluminum beer can turret as well!
Have FUN!
