Powering Up

(Click or tap to enlarge)

Next time you find yourself flowing through those far-flung fields of Magic Space Crystals, keep an eye out for any of them that glow a little differently - they may contain Magic Space Glyphs, which can make you much more powerful for a short time.

Each glyph depicts the power that it corresponds to. When collected, it will boost that power (currently by 3 stars) for a short time (currently 15 seconds). You can see all of the active glyphs displayed near the Magic Woo-Woo Meter toward the top of your screen.

You may also notice that the Magic Space Laser Rings fired by the saucers feel a bit more consistent in their behavior. This is because I discovered (and fixed) an issue which was causing misalignment between the visual position of the rings and the position being used for physics computations.

I’m still working on a major feature which I hope to roll out next week, and of course there are still many refinements planned for the newly-introduced power-ups. Cheers!
