Hmm… true. It would be inconsistent with other enemies, which don’t do that.

Everyone’s score is the same but food means also keys.
This equals into having less key income on the long term

Also if leaderboards didn’t get a reset, the old scores will be higher than what is actually possible right now due to more resources being avaiable

I don’t think food can be considered a significant enough source of keys considering how pathetic the exchange rate is. Key spawns in missions are worth much more, and they aren’t affected by fester’s presence.

That’s a good idea, however it’s not easy to do. Keyboard navigation scans the screen for all UI elements and places the pointer to the nearest one. It has no concept of “default button”.

How? You’re at a disadvantage because you won’t get all the points.

Not buffing bosses at this stage.

No, if you decline it, there’s no turning back.

Correct, but it’s not fixable because all enemies appear a certain distance outside the screen. If I increase the distance for Balloon chickens, then all enemies would be affected.

It plays exactly when it’s fully charged. The sound itself needs some time to ‘ramp up’, but I looked at the sound effect and I can’t trim it any shorter.

A bigger problem is that (apparently) the 3 lasers don’t leave enough maneuvering space for bombers. I might have to change the attack altogether.

Are you bragging about your Cheat Engine skills? Let me get the ban hammer :smirk:

They’re already at 50%. We could reduce it to 25%? Dunno, poll it.

Festers shoot every 6-25 seconds (random), so there might not be enough time for the to shoot until they leave the screen. But I’ve verified they do indeed fire.

Sorry, I can’t. There are so many theme color and dark/light text combinations that some of them will be harder to read.

Scoring changes happen regularly. I make a note to delete leaderboard scores older than 6 months every once in a while to prevent stale ‘unreachable’ scores.

Not really, 'twas a basic math operation. Unless you’re talking about this :wink:

The player doesn’t have enough information to work the exact value out themselves. Did you just type random digits?

I summed the base score and the medal score, then I’ve multiplied them by 1,5009 (knowing that Weapon Virtuosity was smaller than 0,1), got 11227901,2, then tried by 1,5008, and whenever the result got almost close to the final score but not really precise I kept adding a decimal number until I got it right by multiplying it by 1,50014751138.
So, yeah, random digits.

IA when ThuderCluck uses his 3 lasers, the sound of the lasers become louder. Can it be reduced?

Yes but may get you thru space races faster than usual

FYI, this is the moment when Fester shoots in regular waves.

Huh. Well, you could have just solved (7110779+370000)*(1+0.5+x)=11222272.

But, in the general case, it’s not possible to calculate precisely, because all remaining bonuses are rounded to one decimal place, too.

Fixed in v.86 :medal_sports: Bug. But, as I said, I don’t yet know if these 3 lasers will stay.

If you want them to stay so you can reduce the speed of the 3 lasers or you can make a bigger space for BX spaceships. I want them to stay.

Why you gave credit to another person then:

I also noticed this one. I don’t know why.

Mistake. Corrected.

IA i think that weapon virtuosity must not be counted in weapon training missions and bonus must be 0.00% because everyone uses the same set of weapons and they are forced to use them (because that is the concept of the mission)

And

Why Fester have more health then other Saucers?

Also pecking order at “Mars Attack!” wave is almost impossible due to Festers appearing a lot and with different speed. Can Festers appear like “Shoot and Loot” wave order?

By the same logic, everyone gets the same bonus. So it’s still fair.

I just copied the green alien saucer. It has the same health as that.

No, because that would make the two waves too similar.
