Hi Pilots,
thanks to your feedbacks I added the possibility to continue your game when playing the Arcade Mode and the possibility to save the game when playing the Story Mode. This is a major upgrade that adjusts the gameplay in a better way. The game is still difficult but now it gives you the opportunity to replay some stages defying the permadeath.
Here are the main added features in detail:
CONTINUE?
During an arcade wave, when your energy is depleted, the game will display two additional options on the game over screen: Continue or Give Up. If you use a continue, you will receive your full energy back to be able to keep playing the current stage. The continues are limited for each new game (3) and you'll need to have a few tokens to use them. The continues are available from wave 2 onwards.
CHECKPOINT!
You can save the game every time you encounter a checkpoint. At moment there are 2 checkpoints, located between story stages 5-6 and 10-11, precisely after you beat the level 5 boss and the level 10 boss. When you save a checkpoint you can restart from that precise stage if you prefer, using your current gear. To make things a bit challenging, you can save your state only if you have 50 tokens.
OTHER STUFF:
I also tuned the car steering for tighter turns and I made some other adjustments and additions listed down here. Game on!
