There have already been many new features and improvements based on the initial feedback and conversations from the Discord-exclusive preview demo. Thanks to everybody who has tried it out! Here’s a recap of what’s new since that initial release a week ago:

Each successive “generation” of broken cube fragments glows brighter than the previous one, and releases more Magic Woo-Woo orbs when broken
Saucers are generally brighter and easier to see (they had accidentally become a bit darker due to an optimization a few weeks ago)
Saucers fire more often and more dynamically (still scaling with difficulty setting)
Red and green saucers have been switched (red ones are faster, fire more often, and yield more loot)
Shields recharge faster
You can turbo boost in whatever direction your controls indicate - including backwards!
An experimental version of turbo boost was tried out for a few days, with behavior more like a “dash” than a “sprint” (this will probably return as an unlockable piece of equipment at some point in the future)
Fixed a bug where mission completion sequence could be interrupted by level-up (causing mission completion to be impossible)
A complete automated build/packaging system was written, with a variety of safeguards to prevent packaging errors - this will make it much more practical for me to release smaller updates more fequently across all 3 platforms
Other minor stuff that I forgot to put in this list. :)

Special shout-out to @SlicdBread of RAILSHOT for providing so much constructive feedback and discussion this week!

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Super Space Crystals demo on our Discord yet, stop by and give it a spin! :)
