A4.3 Enemies, Enemies Everywhere

Yo!
It's time for another update that brings more to the game! This time around I added in more enemies! Fixed up some backend stuff! Performance improvement! And some other cool stuff!

First, I'd like to thank everyone who's been supporting this project. It's been essentially 2 months of relentless grind! At times it may seem like I'm giving up or burning out. But I've been going through a LOT personally, more than I ever anticipated to be going through. I thought the roughest parts of life were behind me; but I wasn't completely right about that.
All the likes and shares have been super helpful to keep going though! With my own personal Twitter growing a little bit and the 8 Bit Simple Twitter hitting past 30! It's small, but it's a huge improvement and a great start for an ALPHA project!

So, let me introduce you all to.....

First! I added a new little random message for the title instead of the subtitle because I like Minecraft and I think it adds more value. Now tips, tricks; and secrets can pop in there!

Status Effects are next up on the list!
These were a pretty big feature I couldn't get into the initial A4 launch. But they were worth the wait!
Corrosion
This is basically a poison effect but I like corrosive better since it implies metal being ripped through; and all the ships are made of metal.

Frost
This is a fun effect that was a little annoying to get together; but was 100% worth it! It slows you for a short duration of time as well as freezing your weapons until you shoot the ice off! This turned out really fun and a nice way to implement the effect.

Shock
This is an effect that took a little tuning to get down good. When you get shocked the shock lasts for a varying duration of time. But, it only has a chance to stun a character when they act. So it's not a 100% 5 second stun.

I also added a little credits and social link into the game!

Down to the nuts and bolts of the update! The main focus! ENEMIES!
I added in all the enemies I currently had planned; and I think they're pretty good. Now I want to state first that the visuals are far from final and not really even put together yet.

Drone Fighters!
These little doods were actually in the game for a minute now. But! Now they look at you making them a lot more formidable.

Flash Drones!
These guys honestly have a pretty not-so-good name since they don't really flash...But anyways, these are drones with no weapons to fire. However! They do follow you around with Sky Mines attached that can blow you up! And they come in all flavors of status effects

When you destroy a drone they also drop their mine(s)!

Screamer Jets!
These bois zoom in to either RAM or you GUN YOU DOWN! They zoom in and out of the screen before they take off, damage you; or ram into enemies and hazards!

There's also plenty of new sounds! Bug fixes! General upgrades to how things are done! Lots of new stuff big and small!
I'm going to go work on a small prototype for my next project called "Buddies!" and work on A5 which is going to be the world generation! I know! FINALLY! Something more than just a starting area and a grey background.
