Going to split this into multiple posts; so here's the most obvious (although not the biggest) change:
the Mech's boot-up sequence and lights!

# Shock - Stuns enemies in place

This and more available in game, play in browser here on GJ

New menu background for my roguelite twinstick shooter, complete with a brooding and glitching ambience. I'm wondering if it's sufficient for getting that reality-tearing, multiverse concept across, that explains the everchanging levels?

Reworked Gatekeeper Sub-Bosses!

These are encounters after which the boss gate at the other end of the map is opened. Each delivers distinct challenges and has a theme of its own, from missiles barrages to reinforcement calls and more!

Part of a promotional piece I'm working on, taking some liberties with details. Based on the game's starting mech, which isn't even the most extravagant in the entire lineup.

Improved 'splosions!

Also reworked hit feedback for Explosive Barrels and other destructible objects!

Hm, what's that mysterious hatch?

And why was it hidden under a crate?

Could it be ... a secret?

Yes, yes it's a secret. Good job, Sherlock! #proceduralgeneration #roguelike #twinstick #shooter #mechs

Alternate Realities - The Mutator System

When reality breaks down the Mutator System changes game rules unpredictably. Weird things can happen! Starting a little Mutator showcase - today: "Dark Shroud".

Enemies are wrapped in an armor of darkness!

Quite happy how the whole onboarding sequence now feels. Here's a quick teaser of how it plays!

Mutator of the day - "Spontaneous Self-Combustion": Enemies blow up when killed, setting the stage on fire and causing all sorts of collateral damage!
