- July 26, 2024 Updated Demo to Version 0.0.1 - 25 July 2024
A mini-update was carried out to fix bugs. Fixed Bugs Inconsistent shot interval bug Key bindings reset upon restart bug Key bindings not reflected in the manual bug Unable to fire bombs independently from shots bug Overlapping enemy waves when the stage 3 mid-boss is defeated early bug Bug Causes and Solutions Inconsistent shot interval bug Cause: Normal shots and option shots shared the same timer, causing the 0.2-second interval of option shots and the 0.08-second interval of normal shots to mix. Fix: Separated the intervals for normal shots and option shots, making normal shots and rear shots share the same interval. Adjustment: Changed the interval to 0.1 seconds because the 0.08-second interval allowed for defeating enemies too quickly. Key bindings reset upon restart bug Cause: Code that reset key bindings every time the settings screen was opened. Fix: Removed the problematic co…
