Financial Windfall (v3.1.0)

(And sequel news!)


It's the gift that keeps on giving!

In what I hope is the final update, I've made some changes to make collecting money less painful. Hopefully this should make it easier for everyone to fully enjoy the game without hours of tedious grinding.

Also, big sequel news! Carnage in Space: Crucible is almost ready for an Early Access release! Stay tuned for a teaser trailer coming soon! Or, skip the wait and get regular development updates on its own page over at https://gamejolt.com/games/carnageinspacecrucible/326575.

NOTE: Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a Mac to test on, so this release does not include a macOS build. I hope to get that rectified before too long.

==== CHANGELOG ====

== Improved money drops ==

* Increased the value of all money drops (again)

* Enemies in Endless Ground/Space battle will drop money instead of nothing when they would normally drop health

* Boss Rush now gives a cash bonus at the end

* Reduced the costs of the most expensive items from $250-$300 down to $150

* Money and collectibles found will be saved when you die or exit the level

* The money counter in the HUD shows your total funds, not the amount you've collected this level

== Fixed content getting skipped ==

* Fixed the LVL6 outro cutscene not playing the first time through if the "Replay Cutscenes" setting is turned off

* Fixed the 9th boss being skipped in Boss Rush

== Other ==

* Fixed a typo in the LVL6 intro cutscene

* Removed the HP counter when Extra Stats is enabled

* Removed a leftover call to the defunct highscores API

READY YOUR WISHLISTS!

I've been retouching several things in the game that could use a little more love before release.

Among these is the nanotech system! You now get a flashy popup (with confetti and everything) when you unlock one, and the icons are also resigned.

BOOM.

This is Crimson's final attack, Entropy Bomb.

This is what happens when Crimson runs out of patience and is done playing with you.

I'd wish you good luck, but I don't think that's going to help.

Just keeping you updated. Work in progress. Support Birdy here by visiting our page. Lotsa love...

Oodles of options!

Accessibility aids aplenty!

I added some more settings lately to toggle distorted graphics, fine-tune the audio mixing, and other stuff. Hopefully this should make the game accessible to more kinds of players.

IT'S HAPPENING.

The sequel to Ignition, Carnage in Space: Crucible, is releasing (in Early Access) on GameJolt and Steam on 6/9/23!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're still at it!

Special number 2: Javelin Fusillade.

That's quite a lot of javelins. And a lot of explosions. I don't think this guy is ever going to calm down.

In case you missed it - SEQUEL BETA TESTING!

Carnage in Space: Crucible is coming Soon*!

If you'd like to try it early and help me perfect it, read below to join the beta test and score a free copy!

Wait, there's MORE???

...

Oh yeah, there's more. Once you annoy Crimson enough, he starts busting out the specials. This one, Flechette Storm, is just one of those screen-engulfing special moves you'll have to contend with!

But even that isn't the end...

Some new background elements in Chapter 4 (N). The sky's a little less barren now that there are more floating rocks off in the background.

These also use 3D depth for accurate scaling, parallax scrolling, and distance fog.
