• New Unlockable Challenge Modes Added - 16 May 2026

  New Unlockable Challenge Modes Added. 9 new challenge modes have been added to the game and can be unlocked by completing either Normal, Hard or Extreme difficulty modes.The new challenge modes have been designed to test the sharpest players by altering the game rules and will offer more bonus scores for level completions. This should push the high scores table gaps even further between the best players of the game.Implementing these changes was tough and I have tried my best to ensure no bugs are evident but please report any issues to me via the community discussions section of the game.Thanks for your continued support and I hope you enjoy the new challenges!Paul

• Easy Mode Adjustment - 27 April 2026

  Easy Mode is now easier. This is a difficult shmup to get through and to make the game more accessible to players new to the genre I have made a change to the Easy Mode difficulty of the game.When starting a game on Easy Mode the player will immediately receive 3 x Shield Points which grants 3 direct hits (from standard enemy bullets only) before the player loses a life. When the player loses a life and the ship respawns the player will again be granted 3 x Shield Points (providing the shield points are below a value of 3)This change has also been applied to the DEMO version of the game and will not effect other difficulty modes which will remain the same.New difficulty modes are planned to be implemented soon for players that want a difficult and pure shoot em up challenge.Thanks for playing ;-)
