Asteroids ++ News

[h3]Features/Changes[/h3]

• Added controller support :)
  
• NOTE: This was only tested using an xbox controller, there are MANY PROBLEMS. Also I am not a controller person so please use your keyboard instead! But test this out regardless so I could get feedback. Keep in mind, you can't use the satellite or idle conquering YET, and shop is scuffed. But that will be added/fixed in the future.
• Added schemes whenever a controller is connected
  

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed small issues with the main menu
  
• Leaderboards should work again
  

Asteroids ++ is now supported natively on linux, it should work with most linux configurations! So no more proton!

Keep in mind that there are still a lot of issues with this build, mainly blurriness and the fact that you can't switch windows properly, but that will be fixed ASAP. Thanks for all patience! :btd6salute:

Happy 4th of July! It's time to balance the game further!

[h2]Features/Changes[/h2]

• Changed how dark green asteroids can reflect bullets
  

[h3]Sniper[/h3]
Sniper was made more expensive to act more like a secondary weapon, cost nerf it is

• Sniper starting cost 50 > 75 (Nerf)
  

[h3]Shield[/h3]
Shield was just too good to use so I decided to make it a bit more expensive, but still a good option regardless

• Shield starting cost 50 > 75 (Nerf)
  
• Shield procedural cost 0 > 35 (Nerf)
  

[h3]Bouncy Orbs[/h3]
Bouncy orbs could be a bit more useful now with the introduction of dark green asteroids, at a procedural cost increased as you progress with leveling

• Bouncy Orbs can now take up reflected player bullets and UFO bullets, at a cost of charge decrease (but it doesn't reset)
  
• Bouncy Orbs procedural cost 0 > 25 (Nerf)
  

[h3]Nuke[/h3]
Nuke was dissatisfying to use compared to the black hole which could kinda do what a nuke does except its cheaper and a bit more limited, so I decided to make the nuke a bit more available while keeping okay costs on later levels. Also decreased ability cost for more infinite pierce uses

• Nuke starting cost 300 > 200 (Buff)
  
• Nuke procedural cost 125 > 75 (Buff)
  
• Nuke ability cost 4000 > 3000 (Buff)
  
• Nuke procedural ability cost 1000 > 750 (Buff)
  

[h3]Timestop[/h3]
Timestop as an getaway ability was decent enough when having a lot more going on in the screen but UFO bullets aren't stopped, so instead I've made them so they convert into player bullets with a cost

• Timestop procedural cost 50 > 70 (Nerf)
  
• Timestop turns all reflected and UFO bullets into player bullets upon use (Buff)
  

[h3]Repair Kit[/h3]
Nobody used this thing, so I made it cheaper

• Repair Kit starting cost 110 > 50 (Buff)
  
• Repair Kit procedural cost 40 > 20 (Buff)
  
• Repair Kit will recharge machineguns ability (Buff)
  
• Repair Kit ability cost 400 > 250 (Buff)
  
• Repair Kit procedural ability cost 250 > 150 (Buff)
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Bullets can sometimes get stuck in dark green asteroids and deal unintentional massive damage
  
• Fixed wrong info when wave skipping
  
• Fixed Repair Kit not working (thanks CqtnuNick)
