Cavity Busters News

Hello all! Here with a new update. This one brings more accessibility options, a new gummy and a new boss!

Accessibility Options
The new accessibility options are another step in letting players choose how they want to play. Why force players to unlock new content if that's not their thing. Especially in the roguelite genre where variety of play is a huge drawing point. So these two new options will allow you to unlock all the game modes and all the playable characters. As new modes, items and players are added, you'll need to reactivate these options.

New Gummy
The new gummy can fly! The wall running and jumping abilities are replaced with a wall smash, and a super dash. The super dash replaces the jump and allows you to activate your iframes for longer than a normal dash and activates jump upgrades. The wall smash allows you to kill wall hugger enemies and activates wall running upgrades. This gummy also starts with bullet clearing bombs replacing shot gums. Each level your bombs are refilled to your max health so use sparingly.

What's New:

• new gummy player
  
• new boss
  
• new accessibility
  
• 29 new rooms
  
• a new monumeat type
  

Fixes and Tweaks:

• fixed bugs unique to the new big rooms like ui elements be off
  
• changed big room wall art to correct art
  
• rare disease room will tell you how many diseases cured
  
• cleaned up stat menu a little bit
  
• fixed death screen being off in big rooms
  
• buffed some upgrades that fire shots off when you wall dash
  
• fixed a crash in the tutorial
  
• fixed a crash on level generation
  
• fixed some grammar and spelling errors
  

That's it for this update! I have some fun new ideas for upgrades for the next update. Please consider leaving a review to let Steam know that this IS A VIDEO GAME. Enjoy and thanks for playing!! :)

See ya!

Hello everyone! We skipped last weeks update so that I could mostly finish (lol) this update. It brings LOADS of new bullet patterns. This really spices up rooms with different enemy ai and different bullet patterns. Now I'm introducing this update like it's been in the game all long. Meaning you slowly unlock these new patterns through playing the game normally and killing enemies. But for those of you who have been playing the game for awhile now, I added an option to unlock these bullet patterns right away. It's not a huge grind to unlock but this option is another step towards making the game more accessible. Along with that there's now an option to unlock all items! :) These are found in the accessibility menu.

What's New:

• new alternate bullet patterns (note there's a few enemies without. they'll be patched at a later date.)
  
• a handful of enemies normal patterns where updated
  
• a new section was added to the accessibility menu: "Force Unlock Options"
  
• a lot of enemies make little shooty sounds now
  
• 3 new bullet sprites
  
• 2 new upgrades
  
• loads of other tweaks
  

And with that, this is the last update for the year. We've done 18 updates since the August release, filled with new items, new characters, rooms, enemies and so much more! Thanks for playing and for all your suggestions and help in ironing out the bad bugs. Please consider dropping a review as it helps the game out a ton!
