Cavity Busters News

This is just a small patch to address a few little things.

• boderless window option is now cleaner looking
  
• next shot upgrades wont be overridden when picking up another tooth
  
• lowered the hp of brain wash
  
• brain wash bullets no longer have a poison effect
  

If you encounter any bugs or other oddities feel free to post them on steam or in the games discord.

Thanks!

Hello everyone! This is an exciting one. Cavity Busters is leaving early access today! Couldn't have done it without everyone's feedback and support. So what does that mean for CB? And what's next?

Next for Cavity Busters
Content wise, Cavity Busters is complete. However this doesn't mean that support will end for CB. I could tweak and nerf this monster forever but what's the fun in that? If any serious balance issues occur, they will be addressed. And I won't hesitate to add new upgrades and what not down the road. But that will be less frequent.

Next Game
In my spare time I've been working on something else! It's quite different from Cavity Busters. It's a more traditional roguelike, with turn based movement, but with some real time elements as well. It's still in the early stages but I post occasional gifs of it on my twitter. That's all I'll say about that for now. :)

As always the full change log is below. Just want to say thanks for everything. If you'd like to, please consider leaving a review. Once we hit 'very positive' rating, I'll stop shilling for reviews, I promise :) Please enjoy and let me know if you need help with any issues. Thank you!!

Peace out!

I went to the dentist this past week, so I had to ask for the xray. I also had a ct scan which produced a 3D image of my mouth, which looked amazing. I couldn't get a hold of that one unfortunately :(

Hello everyone! Welcome the weekend and another update :) This update is kinda on the smaller side as I would normally work on it for another week. But I'll be gone next week so I wanted to get this out today. But still some good stuff in this one!

Lore and Bestiary Entries
I added a handful of bestiary entries as well as new dialogue for Gob. Writing lore is tough. I try to keep it simple and not get too wordy. Lore is there if you want it but easy enough to skip through it. So I have a proposition to those that enjoy lore and more specifically enjoy Cavity Busters lore. Are you interested in writing an entry for a single enemy in the bestiary? I'd send you a list of the ones that still need an entry, and you would pick the one you'd like to write for. Of course I'd get final say and you would get a mention in the credits for writing. Let me know! If you're on the games discord it'll be easier to get in touch and talk specifics.

As always, thanks for playing! Please consider leaving a review and telling your roguelite loving friends about Cavity Busters so they too can get the CB bug! :)

Peace!
