Changes

• Adjusted ‘time to beat’ on final mission, beating the level before the timer goes orange means you’re within 15 seconds of my personal record (3:30).
• Made so you can use escape to exit the ‘thanks for playing’ screen.
• Big changes to how character assets (in-game sprite frames & outfit frames) are loaded to reduce loading time & memory use.
• Recolored the ‘retreat’ button in the escape menu so it’s easier to avoid accidentally clicking it.
• Moved Hologirl & her dialogue window on the shop so the stats window obscures less.
• Updated the design of the settings screen.
• Updated all control displays to pull from the rebind system.
• Fixed the close button being off-center in Miss Victoria’s screen.
• As requested, the game cursor is now confined to the game window.
• Reduced scroll sensitivity on all scrollbars for a nicer experience.
• Updated French & Russian translations thanks to community submissions on Discord.

Fixes

• Fixed dialogue window in the shop scaling incorrectly on different resolutions.
• Fixed version text blending into the background.
• Fixed planets displaying difficulty stars weird if you went above difficulty 7.

Fun Fact

• Originally the game was going to use steam launch options to put the player into keyboard or controller mode. But I decided it was a nicer experience to add it as an in-game menu. But you can still force the game to launch into either keyboard or gamepad mode using the following command line parameters (launch options):
• -control_keyboard
• -control_gamepad
