Hello pilots!
Due to lots of interest in this game, lots of new and exciting changes have been made!
The game has been changed to have a more formalized approach to game modes, including Classic, Time Attack and the all-new Arcade mode.
Classic represents the gameplay that we are all used to, but with the important change that you no longer have to worry about lives. Now you can take it easy and play at your own pace.
Time Attack mode is now completely independent of any progress in Classic modem, and you can now access all levels on all planets at any time.
Arcade mode is brand new! You start with 3 lives, and you play each level in order without any menus or pauses in between, i.e. very hardcode. Extra life powerups are of course enabled here.
In addition, there is no Classic-style shop at the start of each level, but instead you automatically get random upgrades at certain score intervals. If you die, you lose all your upgrades, and need to be very careful until you earn them all back. Also, there is no cap to the number of upgrades you can have, so eventually you will be maxed out (like in Time Attack mode).
Arcade also has a brand new global highscore list.
Besides all of the above there are numerous aesthetic fixes to the front-end of the game that I hope you will like.
Again, thanks for all your support, and happy gaming!
