Update v. 1.3

2026-07-26

Almost 8 years after release and 1,000 copies sold, I decided to release this update to make the game a little better! All achievements are working! I fully played through the game myself to make sure. • Removed the annoying VHS effect. • Fixed high refresh rate issues (120Hz+ monitors). • Significantly reduced the cost of upgrades. • XP points no longer reset when restarting a failed mission. • Torpedo now deals more damage. • Added a "Magnet" item that pulls all XP crystals on screen. • Greatly increased the amount of score points received (needed for three achievements). • "Thumbs up!" and "Amazing!" achievements now unlock by completing just the final mission on the respective difficulty.
