Greetings commanders!
The Arena mode is here, for those who love to fight and test different builds. You will battle waves of enemies of all kinds and sizes, with different compositions, and a boss for every 10 waves. For each wave defeated you´ll earn some cash to repair and upgrade your ship, and if you do it without taking damage and/or before the timer runs out, you´ll get a generous bonus.
This is the first Arena version so there might be changes/fixes soon, let me know your feedback here : )
NOTE 1: A Hardcore mode (with permadeath) will be added later on, for the Arena and Normal game mode, for those who like real challenges.
NOTE 2: This is a separate mode, so you can't use your characters from main game.
Enjoy!
