This late summer update adds a BIG amount of features and fixes, (although Sandbox Mode is not finished yet and there will be many more parts.)

(It was supposed to be a "1.3.6 Sandbox Update", but I also came up with many other changes so i called it the "1.4 Summer Update")

It's delayed because since the beginning of June, my GMS broke, and I couldn't make any progress on the game, middle of July I finally fixed it. Also another factor is I added some "unnecessary" stuff into the code which will be important later on ;)
And I also took my summer holidays, no big stress, just chillin'

• Summer Event is here!☀️

  • Speedy Balloons can occasionally spawn instead of comets🎈💦

    • 12% chance

  • Pop 40 of them to get the Rare "Beach Ball" Skin

    • They stop spawning after popping 40

  • The background is brighter and the logo is summer themed🍹

  • The Event ends on 10th October

    • Yeah I know.. im late :P

  Setting discounts is possible!

  • For the Summer time the "Series 1" Lockbox is discounted from 2 Stars to 1 Star !⭐

    *Grab it Quick!*

  Gameplay changes:

  (I needed to get some consistency between Normal and Sandbox)

  • Homing Laser can spawn once when randomizing waves, it won't spawn on random timer

    • 8% chance

  • Homing Laser is still a separate wave that will shoot 2 lasers

    • 14% chance

    • They shoot a little quicker than before

  • Homign Laser doesn't destroy things when getting charged

  • Space Leeches only spawn randomly, not on randomizing waves, and on random place instead of near the Ship

  • Increased ammount of points given by "Enemy Ship" from 8-12 to 11-15

  • Waves in Hardcore Mode change every 45pts

  • Decreased chance of "Star Container" drop from "Enemy Ship" from 12% to 11%(and for GClover from 22% to 21%)

    • Before the system was broken, I fixed it but i think that 12% was a little too much anyways

  • Decreased Starshard's drop chances

    • In Classic Mode 9% to 8%(For GClover from 19% to 16%)

    • In Hardcore Mode (For GClover from 22% to 21%)

  • Decreased Starshard returns from duplicate skins

    • Common from 2 to 1

    • Rare from 12 to 8

    • Epic from 62 to 59

  • Decreased chance for succesful craft of a Star from 70% to 65%

  • Achievements give *Stars* instead of Starshards, also the amounts are significantly changed

  • "Goblin Thief's" Bullets are healing other enemies when they get hit(instead of damaging them)

    *Goblin Thief is still disabled in Sandbox Mode because Star Shards don't spawn here, I will create a Fake Starshards System in future updates that will be customizable*
