Another little bug report:

I seemed to get pushed off the screen a few times by those yellow ships that chase you around shooting at you (i don't remember the name, but if you approach them they dive off the side of the screen, and sometimes take you with them)

I think I may have ended up offscreen at some point as well, though I am unsure of whether it was related to that. There were too many bullets flying around for me to figure out what was going on before I returned.

Bug confirmed and squashed, i've also experienced it before, but it was rare enough that i forgot all about it.
At the same time, i've changed the knockback system a little so you don't get knocked around quite as much when being hit by the strafers, although red wedges have proportionally more momentum now. It's unlikely to be the cause of your death, however.

So I found out that you're practically invincible in Epic Man Mode >:C if you stick to the very top border of the screen. Might want to fix that, bro.

The game is crashing on me constantly since I started using the missile turret. It seems to happen whenever I use the super-shot.

Primary weapon doesn't matter. Can reliable recreate the issue by shooting the first big rectangle group on the first level on the right with the missile super.

Edit:
Apparently Gamemaker games don't work with Windows 8, and any situation where multiple sounds happen at once can cause a crash. I was just noticing with rockets because they caused enough death sounds at once to trigger the problem.

Posting to watch. This may be relevant to my interests.

Hey Shook,

Has any forward progress been made in this? I am about to go on vacation, and would love to have some angry lasers for the flight.

[Shook]

Well now, there's one thing i wasn't expecting. :v
Admittedly, i've been kind of laying low with this because we're not making a shit ton of progress. That is not to say that none has been made, however!

CRUDE INFO PAGE


and a fancy new look for the options menu

Still missing level 20 and other crucial things (such as a finished soundtrack) for the next release, though. :/
But beyond that, a lot of polishing and bug fixing has also been done, so the game runs better and with greater stability than before, AND it looks prettier. I can safely say now that Leviathans are genuinely fixed, since they would previously STILL disappear mysteriously. Now, they WILL be hot on your tail until you destroy them. Also, observant eyes will notice in a couple of the screencaps that the enemy sprites appear brighter. This is correct, as i've upped the contrast on every single enemy sprite. Don't worry, it looks better. Oh yeah also, this screen exists now.

As for WHEN this will actually be out, both me and Chartle are hoping to finish it here in 2015, but alas, i cannot guarantee that it'll be in time for your vacation. :<

[Gentlefish]

Woohoo! This actually looks fantastic, shook. Your art-ing skills are fantastic and this game is still a fantastic mindless-shoot-everything-that-scrolls game that's actually difficult.

[Elephant Parade]

Has the Windows 8 game-crashing sound bug been fixed?

[Shook]

Well, we've implemented a countermeasure, and so far it hasn't crashed on my Windows 8.1 laptop. It was actually fixed shortly after GlyphGryph mentioned it, i just forgot to talk about it here. :v

Aw shoot heck, thanks very much! I'm super glad to hear that you're liking it, and i hope that we won't disappoint in the future.

[Trapezohedron]

I must mention, I am still watching the development of this game with utmost glee.

[Xantalos]

I greatly enjoy this more than most actual game company games, so good job!

[KingofstarrySkies]

Floating to punch.

[TheBiggerFish]

Ooh, game!
