Catcher - Particles & Tutorial!

After a master’s thesis and a few months of freelance work I’ve once again time to work on Catcher!

The new release features:

A tutorial (and it’s about time!)
Particle effects for every enemy
Better-looking player ships and improved feedback on taking damage
Improved movement controls
Performance rating after a level to provide context on “How good did I do?” aside from scores
Self-made score server
Lots of small bug fixes

The self-made score server was needed after Scoreoid, the service I previously used, decided to silently cease service and take all of my player’s scores with them. At first I thought it was just a short outage, but after a few months of not even being able to access the backend site it seems they just died silently. Time to depend more on the things I make myself, I guess.

It feels so good to be back. Expect more updates in the coming months!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.
