FAN'CIE VEER! (Fish Are Nasty, Cake Is Excellent Vektor Evading Emblazed Rapture) News

In update 1.05, I've added a nice tall glass of refreshing milk that will spawn any time you eat some chocolate cake. Get it quickly as it doesn't stay on the screen long but it is worth DOUBLE the points of whatever the cake was worth if you can collect it in time!

Be careful because if you die before the milk spawns, or while it has spawned, the milk will disappear!



The glass of milk currently is randomly chosen to be either full, half full, or nearly empty when it spawns.

A Full glass of milk is worth double the points that the cake was worth.
A Half glass of milk is worth the same amount of points as the cake was worth.
A Near Empty glass of milk is worth half the points the cake was worth.

Who doesn't like some cold milk to wash down some delicious chocolate cake after all? ..Enjoy!

More changes come to FAN'CIE VEER! in this update, designed to make this game easier to understand if you need to change ship colors before shooting to streaking through a Vektoroid and also encourage you to take more chances to get those crash combos!

THE BIGGEST CHANGE IN UPDATE 1.04:
By far the biggest and most important change I've made in this update is a huge increase in both ship maneuverability and gameplay mechanics to try and make this game more fun and exciting to play! Visual tweaks have been made as well, but I've always believed that gameplay is much more important than the cosmetic look of a game.



In the above image, yellow arrows point out that Steam high scores have now been added right into the game! You have the top 1,000 high scores (if there ever is that many) for both HIGH SCORES and for HIGHEST CRASH COMBO STREAKS achieved available to see right from the opening screen!

You'll also see that a master volume slider has been added on the right side of the screen to help you control your overall volume.

And a new menu music has been found that I think fits a game with a name like "FAN'CIE VEER!" very nicely as well!



As you can see by the above photo demonstration of the new ship design, changing your ship to the needed color to destroy both Vektoroids and Vektor fish is easier than ever now!

- Crashing your ship through Vektoroids has never been worth more points with this update! Give it a try to see how many points you can rack up!

- You can now bounce your shots off of fish and your bullets will change to the fishes color.. and then if that shot hits a Vektoroid of the opposite color of that fish, you'll score HUGE points (about 10x normal points)

- Remember that going along with the above, you can also bounce your shots off of Vektorids and hit Vektor fish and if your shot color and the Vektor fish color match, you'll score big points as well (about 8x normal points)

- Both of the above ricochet shots will now alert you on screen on your amazing successful shots!

- Fixed an issue that could cause you to respawn your ship off of the screen if you hit the space bar while your cursor was off of the game screen. This should no longer happen.

- Made various other small tweaks and alterations to help improve both the overall feel and game experience while playing FAN'CIE VEER.

With the new shot ricochet system, the mechanics of the shots will likely take a little time to tweak and iron out better, but I believe the game is already more engaging and fun with my recent two updates and I hope you enjoy all of the changes I've made as well! Please let me know in the forums or in the comments below!


Enjoy! =)

In this update, several changes were made...

* Smaller rocks (Vektoroids) were added and they are worth more points when shot and way more points when crashed through with your ship!

* Your bullets that bounce off of Vektor fish and Vektoroids because your bullet was not the correct color to destroy them will now KILL YOU if your own bullet hits your ship! ..You'll also see the reason for death after you die state that you shot yourself.



* Added enhanced movement trail effects from your player ship that fades and narrows over time to create a more appealing look. This new effect comes with no performance loss at all, and I believe only adds to the overall appeal of the game.

* Eating cake and being over 100% in size will now give you "Fat and Happy"points every second that you are alive and over 100% in size. The bigger you are, the more points you'll score every single second!

* Added a Time Bonus counter with bars that show you how much time you have to score a time bonus by clearing a level as well as how many bonus points you'll score. Seeing your time bonus points going down as time passed on each level seems to add an element of urgency to the game!

* Added smaller sized Vektoroids (rocks) that behave exactly as their larger kin. You still need to be the opposite color to shoot or crash through them but they are worth more points!

* Adjusted the wrap around on the Vektoroids so that they will mostly disappear off one side of the screen completely before wrapping around to the other side (Before you would see half of a Vektorid on each side of the screen as it wrapped around)

* Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause your bullets to not bounce off of Vektoroids when your bullet was the incorrect color to destroy it and instead your bullet would just vanish. This has now been fixed and all incorrect colored bullets to destroy a Vektoroid will now bounce off properly.

* Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause your bullet to hang up on a Vektor fish and not bounce or vanish and also cause the Vektor fish to get stuck in position.

* Having time left when you clear a level has been increased to about 5x the previous rates to reward you better to clearing levels in fast times. The faster you clear a level, the bigger the time bonus.


I think these changes are all solid and good changes that help make "FAN'CIE VEER!" both more fun and more rewarding to play! ..But be sure and let me know your thoughts and especially if you come across any new bugs or problems caused by this update!

Happy cake eating and fish blasting!

This game is shaping up to be a lot of fun.. and laughs!

The following changes were made to FAN'CIE VEER in update 1.02:

- Fixed a game breaking bug that would give you endless extra lives when you scored more than 100,000 points in a game

- Your bullets will now bounce off of Vektor rocks and Vektor fish if they are the wrong color to destroy them. The good thing here is that if they bounce off of a fish or rock because they are the wrong color and bounce off and hit a fish or rock that is the right color, whatever it hits will get destroyed.

You can now use the above ricocheting of your bullets off of asteroids that are not the opposite color of you and that are the same color as a Vektor fish to score 3x the normal points of just shooting a Vektor fish directly. To give you an example.. if you see a blue Vektor fish and there is a red Vektor rock nearby, you could turn yourself blue and shoot the fish directly. Let's say that fish would be worth 100 points if you just shot it directly... But now with this update if you instead ricochet your blue bullet off of that red Vektor rock and hit the blue fish with the bounce-off shot, you'd score about 300 points instead! ..This can actually be fun and reward you with more points!

- Changed the opposite color assist diagram in the bottom right of the screen to now clearly show what keys (WASD) changes your ship to what color.

- You'll now be rewarded with an extra life for every 100k points after your first 100k points scored. Previously, no extra lives could be earned after getting your first 100k points.

- Crashing through Vektor rocks scoring has increased significantly to better reward the player for taking the higher risk and speeds required to do so. previously, you were awarded double the points of actually shooting a vektor rock, starting with this update, that has been increased to 5x the shooting-a-rock score.

- You also will be better rewarded for getting "crash combos" then before! Smashing through Vektor rocks now also rewards you at about 350% the previous levels when you crash through multiple rocks in quick succession.

- The smash timer has been increased from 5 seconds to 7 seconds, allowing you more time to crash through a new rock in quick succession to help you build up your "smash combos"

- Eating cake makes you bigger and move slower, and now rewards you about 300% of previous point rewards before this update.

- You'll now properly be able to lose your ship size by moving. To slim down, just keep thrusting with the right mouse button. The faster you move, the faster your ship will lose size and gain speed mobility.

- With the ships size reduction by simply moving, you can now die from starvation if your ship size drops to 20%. Your size will change color at the top of the screen to RED if you drop to dangerous levels. ..Eat cake to increase your size if your size drops too much!

These changes I believe better reward you for taking risks with the smasher aspect of this game and will also help players achieve higher scores on the high score list.

I hope you enjoy the new changes made in this update! ..Let me know in the comments below! =)
