Beat Hazard 3 News

Beat Hazard is 14 years old in April!

Hi all,

Beat Hazard is 14 years old in April!
To celebrate, I've got a cool update for all 3 games.

Any tips on how I can help promote the update?
Reddit subs are the trickiest, so many rules, and I've been quite on there for a few years.

Cheers,
Steve

V0.357 - Removed Scrap

Hi all,

I've made the decision to remove the resource Scrap and Mothership Power Generators from the game.
Mothership upgrades are now paid for using Nano Tech.

I feel this makes the whole process of upgrading your Mothership a lot simpler and smoother.

Cheers,
Steve.

Phase 4+5 Release: Galaxy Gameplay!

Hi all,

This is a major Phase 4+5 Galaxy Gameplay update!




A lot of new features for galaxy play, including:

- A Galaxy Directory: making it easier to publish and find galaxies.

- Galaxy Challenges: Created by the game. 3 active at any time. Can be found in the Galaxy Directory

- Gameplay rules: Galaxies now have rules and objectives. They can be PvP or PvE. PvP can be solo or teams.

- Galaxy Reward Ship: Win powerful Galaxy Elite Ships, They come in classes 1,2 or 3. 1 being the best. You can win these in PvE or PvP Galaxies

I've added a lot to the in game instructions explaining these new features in more detail.

Here's a video also explaining them:

Any and all feedback welcome. There are a lot of changes that might need some balancing and bug fixing.

QOL Changes:

- Removal of Uranium fuel and sublight engines. There is now no cost to just travel from planet to planet in a solar system. This just seemed to be a pain, so I removed it. Now, you only need Fold Crystals for interstellar travel.

- Added Auto Aim option: Settings -> Game Settings
- Added separate settings for in game music and menu music volumes.

I hope you enjoy the new update!
Cheers,
Steve.
