Asteroids ++ News

A few players reported that there is an item issue where steam will stack inventory items.

This was a backend change on their end it seems, but it breaks how item combining works, so before 1.3.0 is released, there will be yet another patch for 1.2.9.

Sorry for the big wait on the content, I am still working on it, along with other cool projects in mind :)



Changes:
- Final boss explosions are now more satisfying
- Updated scribble text-rendering engine, which brings more performance
- Updated russian translations
- All intro screens of planets are now translated to all languages.

Fixed tutorial crash, that's it, happy easter :)

Player

• 🚀 You can now thrust in Asteroids ++
  
• The player can now hold LCTRL (or hold LB button) to thrust to double speed, but changes controls and movement feels much like in classic asteroids. You can use strafing to damage or even destroy asteroids at a fast enough speed.
  
• Thrusting will however use up ability power (faster speed = more ability power used). Be careful! Clones will use more ability power if you have many of them!
  
• This brand new feature will be for future ship types

Waves

• Each wave gives 100 ability power (even with super skip)
  

Nuke

• Nuke can now target UFOs (between medium and large asteroid priority, previously under small asteroids priority)
  
• Nuke now deals 1.5X damage at starting level (20 > 30 per frame on level 1, 32 > 42 on max level), this change does not affect the player's losing health being inside the nuclear explosion
  
• Mothership's pulse can reflect the nuke
  

Space Gifts

• Timestop can now slow down space gift movement
  

Hook

• The hook can now block enemy bullets at a cost of their carrying capacity being lowered because of it. The hook will have priority to chase after those bullets.
  
• Because of this change, the price dropped from 70 > 50
  

Ability Power

• Ability Power cannot go under 0 anymore.
