v0.992 - Less hard!

Game updated after many feedbacks about the very hard difficulty. I really wanted to make a difficult game but maybe it's too much :) so I tuned up some enemy behaviour and made some damage adjustments:

  • The spinning enemies now cause less damage.
  • The aggressive cars don't push you anymore and cause less damage.
  • The first boss now has a reduced rate of fire.
  • Introduced the "perfect" bonus (you unlock it when you have 100% energy plus 100% accuracy).
  • Added random emails: you can now receive special offers on your BBS terminal to buy in the shop.
  • - Made small ajustments on the gear panel (all about the link between shop items and the stats they give).
  • Added some guides on steam.
  • The mutiplayer experience is smoother now.
  • Two new gameplay music added.
  • Added Linux support.
  • Fixed too many bugs!
