Sorry for the lack of interesting Screenshots, I've mostly been doing the soundtrack the past week. I'm making good progress, Currently have 10 complete tracks (15 if you include non-final tracks that won't be in the game).
For those interested the Soundtrack will be available to buy and watchable for free on YouTube after KitBit Vela's release.
I may also include the non-final tracks in the soundtrack, Let me know If you would like that by leaving a comment and/or messaging me =]

I put KitBit Vela on Steam Greenlight one week ago, and based off the feedback this is what I've done this week:
- Been working on making levels more populated
- Optimized texture rendering by adjusting Anisotropic Filtering and Maximum Resolution per individual texture
- Calculated Normals for some objects instead of importing the normals, making lighting look better on the object
- Composed music for the the Tutorial level
- Created a script to loop the background music
- Put occlusion maps and secondary normals maps on some important textures
- All enemies now have a 50/50 chance of spawning if you're not in "New Game Plus", meaning the enemies will not always be in the exact same place, and in NG+ you will have double the amount of enemies.
- Added more boxes to the level, meaning there's more to shoot and more currency
- Added glowing bugs as a background particle effect
- Modeled, Textured and Imported more props for levels
- Added wooden stump creatures on the tutorial level that stare at you if you are within 20 feet of them
- Optimized Enemy code to call methods 30 times per second instead of ticking every frame
- Set maximum frame rate for the game to 144 Fps.
- Changed the pixel light count to 3, down from 4.
- Modified some Important normal maps by adjusting Luminosity Curves
- And a few miscellaneous tweaks.
