Beat Hazard 3 News

Hi all,

I've added a leaderboard to the galaxy screen. This shows the players who have conquered the most systems.
Points are awarded as follows:

Own Planet = 1pt
Own Album = 3pts
Own Artist = 5pts

Capturing tracks from other players not only increases your score, but decreases theirs.

I intend to make this system more involved during the next development phase. I just wanted to add something simple for the time being.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
Steve.

A quick fix for some galaxy progress not being saved.

I also made the install about 300mb smaller. (Yeah, I found the compress packaged files checkbox in unreal!)

Galaxy stress test is going well, thanks for the help!

I've added an online test galaxy. It will automatically pop up in the 'Galaxy Campaign' section.
Give it a try. It will be interesting to see if it holds up to a good stress test.

Cheers,
Steve.
