Development is going ahead well and the new power ups for Asteroids and Breakout are being tested. These will release by end of July 2023.

I've also started development on Space Invaders and added basic menu navigation and core gameplay mechanics. Expected release Q1 2024.

Asteroids

Two new power ups are being tested:

Infinite boost (temporary)
Grants the player infinite boost for a limited time. 30 seconds as of writing this, actual duration pending further testing.


Increased speed
A one time only power up, permanently increasing player movement by one point. As of writing this, will only spawn from wave 3 onwards. Actual spawn time pending further testing.


Additional weapon power ups such as homing missiles are also in the works, but not ready to test yet.

Breakout

One new power up is being tested:

Invincibility (temporary)
Grants the player (ball) invincibility for a limited time. 30 seconds as of writing this, actual duration pending further testing.


When invincible, the player ball regardless of which color originally, will change to pulsating black:

Space Invaders

The fundamentals of the game are implemented, such as:

• Basic menu navigation, including HUD and pause menu
• Input controls and remapping
• Core gameplay (enemy waves, cannon movement etc) - with placeholder art
