Hello all! Happy weekend! Hope you're all doing good. I'm here with your weekly update with some new upgrades and some quality of life fixes. I'm working on some new stuff that will be showing up in the coming weeks. So working on that and trying to add weekly stuff is a balancing act.

As always, hope you have fun with it and consider dropping a review. Really helps make the game better. ;D

A note to those leaving suggestions and bug reports. Thank you so much. It's so rad to see people taking to the game and wanting to have an impact on it. After working on a game this long, you start to lose some creative spark and the suggestions are helping me regain that again. There's so many suggestions that it's hard to add all of them. So if I don't add yours, it's nothing personal. But I do read ALL the suggestions. So thank you. And keep em coming.

See ya!

Hiya everyone! This update leans more on the polish side of things. There's some upgrades as well!

What's New:

• 3 new upgrades
  
• holding the shotgum button as Baby Tooth will increase fire rate for a goop cost
  
• teleport map now shows your current location
  
• default button added to accessibility menu
  
• mini boss have a health bar
  

Fixes and tweaks:

• fixed player getting healed while dying and canceling death screen
  
• fixed a bug that caused items in a room to disappear when leaving room
  
• bowel movement won't happen in boss rooms, treasure rooms or disease curing rooms. They can still happen in dig rooms however.
  
• bowel movement antibody spawn rate were nerfed
  
• falling bullet mod was changed to chomp attacks. essentially the same thing just visually different
  
• tiny delay to when you can recall your charged tooth. tiny tiny.
  
• flak ammo was nerfed
  
• monumeats increase difficulty between 1 and 2 points
  
• fixed taking a continue not taking effect while in a modded room
  
• fixed some bugs with the teleport map
  
• wall dashing with a controller is a bit different
  

Wall dashing with a controller is a bit different
Wall dashing with a controller used to be all or nothing. With mouse and kb you could pick where your wall dash ended within the wall dash range. That's lost while using a controller. But now you can be more precise with wall dashing while using a controller. It's not perfect but it's a start in the right direction to smoothing out controller use. Also note it works best when the controller is not in auto aim mode.

The new combo system:
Combos now decay at a much slower rate. A portion of your combo will be taken away when hurt.
Combo meter now increases when the meter is filled rather then for just killing enemies.
More work still needs to be on this. But it feels much better already. :)

That's all for this week. Enjoy and drop some feed back for whatever you want! :)

UPDATE 9 Hot fix 2

This adjusts the stats for Baby Tooth. He'll start with higher damage, higher range, higher fire rate and a lower heal requirement. Also upgrades that would normally effect your regular tooth now effect your shots gum bullets but only when playing as Baby.

Enjoy!

Hey all! Welcome to another weekly update! This one is pretty sweet and I'm very excited to see what you all think of it.

The New Gummy
This Gummy is for everyone who enjoyed most of the mechanics of Cavity Busters but found combat to be a bit tedious. This Gummy is a more traditional twin stick shooter type character. You aim where you want to shoot, hold the shoot button, and voila! Shoot bullets and cause damage! This character is called Baby Tooth and is in no way a dig at the people this was intended for. The name fit thematically as you shoot small low damage baby teeth. Don't be fooled though. This character is still a challenge as all diseases that effect tooth shots will still be present and sometimes more devastating.

What's new:

• new playable character
  
• new character select screen
  
• 2 new upgrades
  
• monumeats(?)
  
• 3 new rooms to discovery
  

Bugs and tweaks:
fixed some controller bugs
combo meter will not decrease while bosses are dying or changing phases now

Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think and drop a review if you haven't yet already! :)
