Zaxterion - Space Frenzy News

Several of my games, including my newest title "Zaxterion: Space Frenzy!" has been drastically discounted permanently to offer even more bang for your buck!

In this update, several small fixes and balances have been made to Zaxterion: Space Frenzy!

- Fixed an issue that could cause you to spend the gold required to open a loot chest that was fading out, but the chest wouldn't deliver the loot before it faded out.

- Fixed an issue that could cause the Transmulgifier to be offered by the Big Brother ship after you already own it.

- Fixed an issue that could cause no Zaxterion gems to be offered on rare occasion after purchasing them with rhodium from the Big Brother ship.

- Nerfed the firing speed of the Valorox ship from 5 shots per second to 3.75 shots per second.

- Nerfed the armor strength of the "Protect Me Daddy!" shielding available from the Big Brother ship by about 30%. These shields made a ship just take too little damage once 5 or 6 shields were collected.

- Fixed an issue that could cause the transmulgifier icon to show on the Big Daddy offer display even after the transmulgifier had been purchased and another offer was displayed.

- Increased the size and brightness of every ships shots to make them more visible against the trail each shot leaves as it travels.

- Fixed an issue that could cause the Halcyon ship to flash when damage was taken rather than displaying the correct damaged state.


That's it for this update. Look for more Steam achievements and the new "Eye" enemy to come to Zaxterion in the coming weeks.

This update was made entirely to help new players understand the game and have more control of the starting "Reliant" space ship....

- The lowest speed, the default speed, and the maximum speeds have all been reduced by just about 25% overall on the Reliant starting space ship.

- When the game starts with the introduction, a game screen is now shown to give the player important information such as what the gold, rhodium, and Zaxterion resources are, and how they are obtained. It also shows the Mother Ship and the Big Brother ship and what they sell in exchange for gold and for rhodium respectively.

- The intro screen cannot be skipped the very first time but afterwards, the same saves a variable in the settings so the introduction can be easily skipped whenever the game is launched in the future.

Here's a look at that info screen that is now displayed on the introduction screen:




Okay, well that is all for this update...

We'll see you in the next one, until then.. Happy Gaming!

Okay everyone, after launching this game at what I felt a more than fair $8.99 USD price point and then cutting it back 45% to just $4.99 USD a week later, I have now decided to go with a price right in the middle at $6.99 USD.. which matches my other top indie games prices as well with The Best BJ, Vektor Z, and Rock 'N Roll.

So just an FYI. If you're reading this and wanting to purchase this game and the price is still just $4.99, you might want to pick it up before the $6.99 price tag gets approved by Steam very soon...

Just a small update that changes the total number of Steam High Scores that can be seen within the game to 504 which is 42 pages of 12 high scores on each page.


That's all for this small update, thanks for reading!
