Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well out there! This update should make any of you that find this game just a little difficult but "fun" happy!



Now at any time during your normal game mode you can simply press the F5 key to immediately be awarded an extra 5 lives! You can also spam the F5 key to quickly give yourself up to 99 lives at any given time! That's right! (You need to make sure your ship is spawned to use this cheat as in make sure you're not dead waiting to re-spawn) Using this cheat even once during your game will void your high score being uploaded to the Steam high score leaderboards however. ..I know, I'm no fun, lol.

Other changes in this update:

- The A55 Kicker has been added to the tutorial mode to assist you in cleaning up the asteroids quickly.

- The Level Selection screen has been completely changed to now just give a brief objective and show you the power-ups you can collect in game versus the walls of text seen before.

- You can no longer save your game immediately after loading a saved game. You'll need to advance at least one level and visit the Galactic Upgrade Center again before it will allow you to save your game. (You'll get a voice message telling you this if you try to save your game right after loading)

- The slow music from the end game now stops as it should if you choose to play a new game. (bug fix)

- Your money is now properly saved and loaded when you save your game (bug fix)

- The end boss ship looks have been edited to give it a better overall appearance and shocking look

- You should no longer be able to collect "Close Call" bonus points while shielded for the 5 seconds after spawning a new ship.

- If you collect all the resources and power-ups after killing a boss, the game will move you immediately to the "Level Complete" screen without making you wait for the remaining count down.

- The main menu now shows the two cheats available in the game. Cheat Greedy which can give you an extra $500,000 game cash and can be used once per game from the main menu and the new +5 lives cheat from the main game at any time. Keep in mind that the +5 cheat will prevent any high score you achieve from being uploaded to the Steam leaderboards, however using Cheat Greedy for $500,000 cash will still upload a high score if you set one. Both cheats will stamp your final stats screen as a "CHEATER!" however.

That's about it for this update, please let me know if you experience any new bugs or issues with this update and as always, comments and your thoughts are always appreciated!

Enjoy!
