The main reason why the previous demo was ending abruptly before a boss-fight is that I was not really happy with the current state and feeling of that boss. So I implemented a cliff-hanger instead and went back to the drawing board to re-design the fight.

This update makes it finally possible to play against the third boss of the demo: Leviathan

Other than that a lot of new options where added, especially in regards to audio. I still need to add and improve a lot of sound-effects, but the new options should greatly enhance the acoustic experience.

• added the third boss Leviathan
  
• added option to toggle background rotation
  
• added option to change background speed
  
• added option to change menu volume
  
• added option to select audio quality
  
• added option to select audio mode (Auto, Mono, Speakers, Headphones)
  
• added support for mapping gamepad trigger buttons
  
• many other improvements and fixes
  

Thank you and have fun!

This is a smaller update which changes the default control mode to twin-stick, as many people seem to prefer it over the original controls. It also addresses a lot of minor issues which came up during the Steam Next Fest.

• added option to toggle chromatic aberration effects
  
• changed the default control mode to twin-stick for new players
  
• fixed single-bullet player-attack doing more damage than intended
  
• many other improvements and fixes

This update implements a new control mode based on player-feedback.

• added twin-stick control mode
  
• added option to toggle gamepad rumble
  
• added option to toggle floating text
  
• improved gameplay related to the mysterious fragments
  
• many other improvements and fixes
  

Twin-Stick Control Mode allows you to shoot and turn your ship simultaneously with 4 different buttons or the right analog-stick. You can switch control mode for each player in the configuration menu.

Thank you and have fun!
