So, i have finally fixed one of the biggest issues that has remained in the game. you now get scrap when destroying enemies with anything! no more skills not giving you scrap. that was super annoying.
In addition, the next level is completed, including the skills and such, heres a run down of what to expect in the next update…
Skills:
Heat shield: fireballs circle you (medium speed)
Ice Shield: ice spikes circle you (quickly)
Thunder Shield: lightning balls circle you (Slowly)
Particle Field: fires exploding particles that explode as well. aka, field wipe.
spread shot: fires particles in a shotgun like pattern, that split on impact
Bouncing Ball: Summon a big red rubber ball of death.
Acid Rain: Acid falls from the sky for a short period of time. (ten seconds to be exact)
Spectral Blades: Summons and launches 3 ghostly blades
Holy Guard: similar to pulse guard, but active, and it heals a very small amount when used.
Sonic Shockwave: Creates a shockwave in front of you when dashing.
Infernal Spirit: Passive, similar to droid, but instead of shooting bullets, it homes in on enemies, and deals damage to whatever enemy its overlapping
Link Beam: fires a laser that bounces from enemy to enemy
Ground Pound: sends shockwaves across the ground when landing from a jump, and its passive, so thats every single time ;)
Quasar Grenade: launches a grenade that creates a pulse of energy when it explodes, and fires lasers in all directions.

There will be one more skill after these, but its a secret, and the last skill in the game! (So close to finished!)

Costumes:
Space Ranger: Based on Buzz Lightyear
Chrome Dome: based on the manically depressed robot from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Diabolica: Demonic looking armour
Angelus: Angelic looking armour
Foba Bett: this should be obvious. seriously.
Megamus: based on optimus prime
Optotron: Based on megatron
Siven: My character siven from another of my games, Celestia. you will not be able to purchase this costume, and it is not found in the levels, you will have to figure out how to unlock him on your own!

In addition to all of this great stuff, the other 2 mini games will be included in this next update, along with the new collectable, Arcade tokens. of coarse to play mini games you will have to go to the arcade, and spend your arcade tokens to play.
the mini games are…
Scrap blaster, of coarse!
Jet Boost Dash: Dodge incoming walls, hit 3 and its over!
Amoeba Invasion: Protect the power stone by shooting (clicking on) the incoming amoebas! When the crystals power level drops to zero, games over!

all 3 will be a great way to get scrap, hence the reason its being limited. you will be able to obtain arcade tokens from bosses and the golden chests “hidden” in each level. bigger levels will have more than 1 chest, so keep yer eyes peeled mateys!

anyhow, after this update you should not have to restart the game anymore, which is why ive waited to release a new build, i want this to be the last time you have to restart.
anyway, this all should be released soon, so keep an eye out!
