I might roll back to previous version

and this is why: That story beginning was vomiting inducing. I am an adult and not a 6 year old. The individual rounds are way too short now and Enemies ramped up their aim to a level its no longer fun. i dearly miss the faster turning and the "send it back to attacker" funktion of the barrel roll. The Slay the Spire node travel between the zones is so old its overused and rarely fun anymore. The cursed cards can now be completely avoided and there is no longer a reroll function? There is literally no...

Creepy af

There was something charming about Star Fox anthropomorphic animals due to it's art direction and design as well as its 90s origins with puppets. But when you do in "hentai" style of furry is just creepy and distasteful. Fix it. Or not if that's you thing. You do you....

PLEASE NERF THE CYCLOPS DRONES

There's something really, REALLY broken about the Cyclops drones right now. Every single enemy, so far, has a thing that makes dealing with them easy. Except the Cyclops drones. I just played a round with them and no matter what I did, they wouldn't stop targeting me and charging up for for the shot. Other enemies lose track of me if I go behind a wall for a moment, but it seems that no matter what I do or where I go, Cyclops can see my ship. And trying to outrun them doesn't help either, the last drone...

Another Bug for 0.70 - Stuck in the selection level

Hi there!! Loving the game so far ! First time I have to report a bug, I got basically stuck in the selection screen of the levels (the tree menu) somehow I tried to go back to the menu and I never got back, but also I couldn´t exit in any other way so I tried to select a level and also nothing else happened... So I was stuck there and I had to ALT+F4...

Introducing Campaign Mode!

This major update brings a three act campaign that features new characters, deeper narrative about the world of Whisker Squadron, new enemies, and new and improved mechanics!

Check out the full patch notes below!

NEW FEATURES/CONTENT:

Campaign mode! We have redesigned the overall experience of the game to include a campaign that includes a map with a choice of paths. Rather than choosing your level at the start, a campaign has a map that includes a random selection of worlds along your journey.
Every campaign will include a variety of environments, and increasingly difficult combat encounters culminating in a boss fight at the end of each of the 3 acts.
This redesign includes major new features including:
- 2 shops with new characters you can visit for upgrades.
- The beginnings of a new and deeper narrative.
- Three acts, with a miniboss fight at the end of each.
New enemies: Plasma Pursuer, Pulse Wave Caster, Missile Tank, Phaser, Bombardier, Gatling Defender, Laser Pinwheel, Dart, Disco Ball, Spikehead Stunner.
New "Wave based" spawning system for enemies. Makes speed runs possible and reduces "dead zones" in combat.
There is now a default "spin block" on the A/D (or shoulder buttons). This replaces the old tilt function.
Spinning while turning will give you a little boost in your turn direction. As a treat.
Added support for 3 save slots.
Ross and Max are now unlocked as part of the story.
There's now a countdown meter underneath the combo indicator.
Shortened intro animation for every Action Zone except the first in each act.
New intro cutscene.

CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS:

Gatling gun energy per shot reduced a bit.
Combos now unlock on run 3 with a standalone tutorial.
Redesigned UI for hangar.
Camera is a bit higher relative to ship so it's easier to see targets in front of ship.
Laser Cannon, Multi-Missile launcher, and Crater Bomb upgrades have increased damage.
Lots of enemy/combat tuning and improvements:
- Enemies have new artwork and give more VP in later acts.
- Enemy homing missiles now have a chance to drop a missile pickup when destroyed.
- Improved enemy outlines and enhanced enemy visibility.
- Enemies and enemy attacks are more visible and are a bit more difficult.
- "Enhanced" enemies will appear with a special material, with more health.
Pierced Shot Healing will only appear if you have a weapon with piercing.
Combo Shooter now increases firing rate for 10 seconds at level 1 and activates at combo level 20.
Mods, Challenges, Perks, and Combos unlock after meeting certain conditions.
Removed Combo tutorial from first run.
Sky Crawler shoots homing missiles.
Increased turn rate on ship a bit.
Ross's trait is now "Scrap is worth 15% more".
A.R.E.S. Testing Facility (Formerly Neonfall) is wider/taller.
Larva Bombs will now stun the player when they explode.
Redesigned main menu.
Black holes, fog, and meteors are now environmental effects that appear on specific nodes on the map.
Redesigned some Cursed Choices.
Reduced Burst Blaster initial damage from 3 to 2 per pellet.
Adjusted achievements to be unlockable with new campaign mode.
Lasers and head on collisions cause more damage.
Game will warn you if you attempt to exit mid-run.
Swarm homing missiles are no longer considered enemies.

BUG FIXES:

Fixed issues with music during boss fights.
Ghost Gambit now doesn't hide projectiles.
Volume sliders have more correct values now.
Tight Boost Energy now completely refills energy meter.

KNOWN ISSUES:

Re-rolls are currently disabled. They'll come back in a future update!
