MAIN CHANGES

This is mainly a bug-fixing update, but we also managed to cram in a lot of small improvements to the user experience, a couple of important gameplay changes, and a bunch of music, too.

COMPATIBILITY

This update is mostly backwards-compatible, but you will lose:

  • any in-mission progress
  • any menu options you have configured

CHANGELOG

  • Fixed “Frontlet wing paint density” typo.
  • Removed some unused assets from data file (thanks @Sammarald).
  • Renamed “Men” star to “Menos” (galaxy regeneration required).
  • Removed “This” and “These” from potential mission names (galaxy regeneration required).
  • Removed dropped satellite from “Alien Mothership” boss.
  • More precise frost melting in frozen environments.
  • Added missing specular highlight to H&C cockpit.
  • Stricter server handling for cheated missions.
  • Mission stats now show exact duration and difficulty.
  • Squawk Block missions now limited to 5-20 waves.
  • Added villain music themes to Yolk-Star, Egg Cannon, Henterprise bosses.

Finally the bugs are fixed, good job IA!

With so many themes added, I think it would be better if we had multiple Music slots, out of which the game would randomly pick the mission music.

Also, I think you should be able to pick the mission music in boss rushes.

I hope in future updates musics from Comet Chase, Feather Fields and Epsilon Thalassus will be added. Also Black holes still clips through the screen in my game.

Don’t worry – this is just a display issue. Mission difficulties are exactly the same as before.

From CI2 there’s only the cutscene theme. Will you bring back the main remastered theme?

Isn’t it supposed to be “KNOWN BUGS”?

13

Damn it. All level is regenerated. I can’t found Yolk-Star™ and Egg Cannon on all my favorite boss rush misson list

14

First the H&C’s paintwork, then bug fixes, now for the M-404 PI’s turn in aesthetics.

15

I don’t think this update includes any changes that would mess with the generation of missions. Has anyone else noticed this? Will investigate.

Ah yes, there’s a change related to music that caused this. All boss rush missions are affected. Sorry :grimacing:

16

Same. My classic hend game first boss rush gives me the giant robotic spacecrab now.

17

My apple core turned into The Yolk-Star™ with 7 canons :ok_hand:

I still do not know where these wormholes

19

@Miroslavchik. If you search wormholes, you would find some locations.

However, if you wish to find a wormhole, this is how I managed to find a few.

First, you zoom in as far as you can. Then, you click the zoom out button 8 times. Afterward, move viewing screen to the right or left until you find one. A worthy note is to look in void as there may be a wormhole there and also TO TAKE YOUR TIME. Good luck.

Zooming in 5 times is enough. You can cover a bigger area that way. Also,I think you meant the zoom in button.
