PRICE INCREASE FOR SIX ZAXTORGAMES NOTIFICATION



The six games listed above will be increasing in price on or around Monday, May 13th depending on
when Steam approves the price changes submitted.

These price increases are influenced by a number of factors including these six games haven't seen
a price increase since 2022 or earlier. These are games that offer incredible value for their price even
after the price increase, and also due to the inflation of almost everything the world over.

While these price increases are only a dollar or two each, if you've been considering purchasing one
of these six games, this weekend before the price increases would be a great time to grab them!

Have a great weekend or day whenever you read this message!

UPDATE 1.23 - Polish and Bug Fixes!



Hello Vektor Fish Blasters!

FAN'CIE VEER! just got another update, now well over 5 years since I launched it here on Steam!

Here's what's in this update:

- Fixed a bug where your ship could shrink to negative numbers at the "Level Complete" state of any level. This could result in you not seeing your ship until you continued to the next level. Not really a game breaking bug, but still something that looked silly none-the-less. It's been resolved now.

- Fixed an extremely rare bug where your ship could get stuck inside a rock without exploding if you hit 3 rocks (vektoroids) at the same time at the right angle and speed. Very rare situation for sure, but still it had to be fixed, and that is now resolved with this update.

- I completely re-drew the electric border walls that allow you to see when you have sufficient speed to crash though vektoroids. (Remember, you have to have sufficient speed and also be the opposite color of the vektoroid to crash though it and get crash combo points)

- I re-colored and re-worked the 'Level Complete" screen to look better and also see how many total points you scored on that level which was never shown before this update.

- Changed the coloring of the blue vektor fish to show it as a truer blue making it easier to see that you need to change your ship to blue to blast it.


..That's about it for this update. Small changes, but still important changes to me as an indie developer who cares about the small details of his games. ..I hope that you enjoy this game with all of the changes and updates I've given to this game since I launched it back in July of 2018! Let me know in the comments below!

UPDATE 1.22 - A New Directional Arrow To Help Guide Your Paths!

Hello gamers!

It's been a year now since the last update, and while that last update 1.21 was a great update and changed this game for good with all new mechanics, this update does just as much to help you control your ship!



Now, by default, you'll see a white arrow in the background where-ever your mouse cursor is. The arrow will point from your ships position to the arrows position to show you the exact direction you'll move when you hold down or press your left mouse button. Remember that when you press your left mouse button to thrust, you'll always move towards your mouse position which is now indicated by the new arrow and your movement speed will always be faster the further away your mouse cursor is from your ship. To help you see this visually, the arrow will now be a bigger size to show faster speeds and a smaller size to show slower movement speeds.

You can always turn this arrow off by pressing your space bar while your ship exists and turn it back on by pressing the space bar again.

It might sound pretty simple, but this is a MASSIVE Quality of Life change for this game! I encourage to give it a try if you've ever found FAN'CIE VEER! a little frustrating to control!

Enemy Fish have been completely re-drawn to look angrier then ever!



Also in the update, I made a new "spawn" cursor to help you see where your ship will spawn before you press the space bar to spawn a new ship. ..Another Q.O.L. (Quality of Life) change that I think helps just make this game more enjoyable overall.


Nothing else has been changed. Just a couple of pretty snazzy Q.o.L. changes!


Enjoy! =)

UPDATE 1.21 - "This Changes Everything!"

Space blaster games all seem to need a way to keep the player from simply perching in one spot, moving a little only if needed, and firing away at asteroids and enemies without a second thought!

... I tried and tried since the launch of this game to convince players that crashing your ship through the vektoroids (rocks) was the best way to have both fun and the best way to score the most points.

...And despite my efforts, people still camped in one spot and fired away at all the rocks to clear levels caring nothing reaping the rewards (and fun) of taking risks!

AND FINALLY.. UPDATE 1.21 CHANGES EVERYTHING! ..FINALLY PLAYERS WILL BE BE REQUIRED TO
LEARN HOW TO PLAY 'FANCIE VEER' THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE PLAYED!




Now, you likely won't even survive the first level if you try to camp in a safe spot and fire away! =)


Yes, it will take a little practice to get good at controlling your ship! Remember that you use right mouse to move towards your mouse cursor and the speed your ship moves is based on how far the cursor is away from your ship! ..Wanna slow down? Simply right click while putting your mouse cursor close to your ship! Ahh, see.. that ain't so bad! ..You got this! I assure you that it's MUCH more rewarding to clear levels the way this game was designed (crashing though them) than your lazy old school way of camping in a safe spot to clear out the rocks)


----- YOU CAN ALSO RE-MAP THE COLOR CHANGING KEYS IN THIS BUILD -----


Simply click the "Change Color Controls" button here on the home screen

and then click the key you want to change for each ship color as seen here



----- THE NUMBER OF VEKTOROIDS REMAINING CAN ALWAYS BE SEEN NOW -----




* FAN'CIE VEER has also been optimized heavily in this build. Over 6,000 lines of code and calculations per second have been relieved of your CPU having to read and I believe that this makes the game play and feel better than ever before!

Remember to have fun!! ..Oh and watch out for that Vektor fish! ..he looks like he's kinda onto you! =)


NOTES: A critical extra life bug was fixed in this update (thanks MBCcompany) and I also updates the existing 24 Steam achievements as well as added 23 new ones for a total of 47 now!
