Hello, players! Here's the update I promised a month ago. Thanks for your patience.
Today, I've backported some more of the things I've learned while developing the sequel, Carnage in Space: Crucible. Additionally, I've tweaked some of the level design in 3 levels that have given people grief in the past.
Enjoy!
- [GAMEPLAY] You can now move left and right while performing a jump attack
- [GAMEPLAY]Reduced the sensitivity of the joystick
- [GAMEPLAY] Money drops are worth slightly more
- [LEVEL] Changed some areas in LVL1 to make it clearer where you need to go
- [LEVEL] The submarines in LVL3 behave in a more consistent manner, making it more clear how to progress
- [LEVEL] The bombs in LVL4 may now be defused in any order
- [AUDIO] Replaced the royalty-free music track from Endless Space battle with the OST track from LVL8
- [STORY] Some story text has been rewritten
- [MENU] Replaced button numbers with Xbox button icons in the Settings menu
Next up
The 2.0 release inches ever closer. To drive home the magnitude of this update, we've got a brand-new logo!
Animation/pixel-art by me; high-res concept by a professional artist.
This stands out a lot better while still keeping the game's identity intact.
Chapter 4T level design is done!
Every good level deserves a good boss arena - and every good arena deserves a good boss!
As you can see, I'm still working on that last part. Stay tuned for more updates...
Oh gosh... how long has it been since I posted last?
Time to show off a new sprite, I guess. This one's a little smaller. Just how many of these guys are there?
Variations shown: Blank face, painted face, mouth open, glider wings, [][][][][][][][].
With the new finalized graphics, that volcano is starting to look a little *spicier*.
I don't know why our spiky boy is so shy about hopping in the magma - those bugs seem to be having the time of their lives!
IT'S HAPPENING.

What was that about the next chapter getting "heated"?

Volcano mechanics in action! Ignore the obvious placeholder graphics while you try to avoid melting.
This is the boss fight you guys deserve. 
The guy's super tough and will shrug off most of your attacks. To beat him, you have to -
