I'm implementing a really basic progression system where you can upgrade the powerups with the points you gained as a score. So now the player has something to look forward to when playing, besides getting the highest score possible Smiley

Working on the second Boss.

Right now I'm fairly close to finishing the game, let's hope I can shut this thing off in the following months Smiley

Game is basically done and has been submitted to Steam for review.

Final features include Daily Challenges, 30 feats/achievements, powerup upgrade progression and roguelite elements that make each run different.

I'm happy with the results despite all the flaws it has. Finishing a game is never easy so here we are Smiley

Please take a look at me playing today's Daily Challenge, release date and trailer soon to come!

Man, the visual flair on this is great. I tried getting a CRT thing going in my game but I wasn't able to find a good balance between style and text readability, but I think you nailed it with the bloom too.  Bouncing the  ball up and down is a really neat twist on this too.

At one point I even had a system where you'd earn points and unlock the upgrades too. It's really cool you were able to make a game with the same general idea as 'roguelite arkanoid' and take it to a totally different level man, really cool.

Have you tried using a font with an outline? I'm not sure what color would end up outlining well on yellow but I find it adds a little something extra. Basically take a TTF font, pass it through the BMFont tool with an outline attached and use it in the same way you're already using it.

Can't say for sure, because now I'm kind of burnt with the project, but lots of people have asked and I'd really really love to.

Hopefully it is just a matter of clicking some buttons in the export dialog or something? Let me know if you want someone to test it. Already bought the Windows version though, so unfortunately can't say that I refuse to buy it unless you support my preferred systems.

Have not played it myself yet, but my son played enough to level up all upgrades to 3. He seems to have lost interest a bit in the game after that (but he did go back to play a few more times anyway). He also reported that one time he was fighting the first boss the ball disappeared, lost somewhere in an upper corner of the screen or something, and did not come back. He defeated the boss, but then he could not keep playing because there was no ball, so he had to restart.

Hey pelle, thanks for the feedback and for buying the game!

The bug was also reported by another user, so I'll take a look at it for sure  Beer! Hope it didn't cause too much trouble and your son liked the game anyway.

It's a bit more complicated (not a lot though) because I have to recompile also the dynamic library used for steam integration. However, yeah, there's a really high chance that once I rest up a bit (my day work is actually game porting so it's a bit exhausting overall!) I will start porting to Mac and Linux, and even maybe android Smiley

So thanks for the comment man, appreciate it
