Ver 1.3.1 Update: Cat C & D Buff



This update increases the damage of the two bonus helicopters, Cat C and Cat D (as seen in the No Miss Cat D video),. Both of them require some getting used to in order to reach their full potential. But it should be evident quite quickly how high their DPS can be at max level.

To unlock Cat C, get the Victory Is and Illusion objective by getting Ending A after beating the mission 8 boss. This can be done with Novice Mode (regardless of continues) or Arcade Mode (must use a continue and have a cumulative destroy rate below 80%). To unlock Cat D, get the Hungry for Napalm objective by obtaining at least 13 additional bomb drops in a run (continues are allowed).

Some changes were made to the backend graphics rendering as well and should improve the performance on lower spec machines. If you have a high refresh rate monitor, the game should have little trouble hitting that stable rate.

Ver 1.3.1 Update Notes:
  • Increased the damage of Cat C's angled sub shots. When aiming completely straight ahead with the main shot, the total DPS at max level is the highest in the game.
  • Increased the damage of Cat D's missile sub weapon. The missiles hit BOTH air and ground targets without needing to change elevation. At max level, together with the main shot, Cat D's forward DPS is just slightly lower than Cat C's.
  • Changed the rendering backend to improve performance on non-ancient machine specs.
