Here's a short demonstration of the beetle shell power-up in-action! It's not very obvious what it does at the moment because I still need to work on a lot of the effects for it, but the functionality is there if you pay attention to the health bar!

I've updated the UI and HUD in It's a Cube! I think the HUD especially looks a lot nicer now, and I'm especially proud of that, but I've also made changes to the main menu. I've also finished the statistics screen I was working on last weekend.

I added push notifications that appear when you reach a new milestone! These milestones correspond to the Game Jolt trophies for It's a Cube.

Today I added a glimmer effect on the ground that plays when you score! I think it looks really nice and I wanted to share!

I've more or less finished off the beetle enemy's animations now. Here's a short video showing the defeat animation as well as how it currently looks in-game. I still need to work on an effect for when the shield breaks, though.

I DID end up making the body and elytra both 1 cycle/s and the wings 6 cycles/s. I'm working on a video of the animation itself playing in the Unity editor so you guys can see it properly. I think it turned out well!

I'm working on adding in-game achievements for It's a Cube that correspond to the Game Jolt trophies. I also plan to make versions of the in-game art for these to use as trophy icons for the game's page on Game Jolt eventually.

I updated the algorithm that handles the timer gradually decreasing as the game progresses! Before, it would decrease by 1 second when the player scored certain amounts, but now it gradually decreases according to a multiplier each round.

I added the leaf shield to the beetle since the last time I posted to Game Jolt! I've also added a detail where it deteriorates over time as you strike it with bullets which I think is a nice touch! Yes, it's a separate sprite from the beetle himself lol.

Many Improvements to the main menu, and I added a floor texture and improved the level behind the cube!
