NEW UPDATE v0.7.0: Now playable on the web and Windows


Hey folks,

The Return of Pluto version 0.7.0 is now live and can be played in your browser and in Windows. In terms of the time invested, this feels like a significant update to me. Please review the information below to see what's new and what has changed. I'd love to hear any feedback that you have. I hope you enjoy the game and this update!

MAJOR ADDITIONS:

  • Milestones System: Earn resources by completing various milestones. The milestones menu is available from the Planetary Map screen. More milestones will be added in future releases.
  • Options Menu: Finally, there is an options menu. There isn't much there, but you do have options for adjusting the audio, for disabling the spaceship auto-rotation feature, and for switching the game to high-contrast mode (more on that below).
  • High Contrast Mode: For those that were having trouble seeing the game on darker displays, there is now a high-contrast mode (pink) available from the options menu.
  • New button to toggle auto-shoot on/off.

MINOR ADDITIONS:

  • The name of the moon that you are visiting is now displayed in the top-left corner of the game screen.

CHANGES:

  • Numerous changes to game balance, from shop prices to enemy difficulty.
  • Difficulty scaling: Enemies will now grow stronger and increase in number as you progress through the moons.
  • The Blaster Cooldown upgrade now has a cap.
  • The Orbital Energy upgrade now has a cap.
  • Moved the shop button to the bottom-center of the game screen.

BUG FIXES:

  • Multiple issues related to player health:
    • Player health not being refilled on completing a moon.
    • Chance that player health would be doubled when purchasing the health upgrade.
    • Player health bar size was being reset to the starting size on game over or level completion. Although the actual health value was correct, the health bar made it appear as though your health upgrades did not carry over.
  • The game no longer prevents you from zooming in and out due to the shop being by a maxed out upgrade.

Your pal,

boulean
