Click around and experiment with what?

@78 Sorry, that was in relation to the Itch app. No Xbox version yet. When I tried it last, it ran for about a minute then locked up. I've made some changes since that might have fixed this, but I haven't jumped through the hoops of rebooting into dev mode to test it out.

@79 Sorry you're still having issues. Hoping someone here can help you debug it. It's odd that you don't get a TTS failure message on stderr, followed by debug logs of whatever would have spoken. That's what should happen. I'll be busy for the rest of this week, but I'll send you a debug build on Discord early next week and we'll see if we can track it down further.

I'm busy keeping myself updated on this forum, Applevis, Twitter, Facebook, a ton of mailinglists in my own country and properly Discord in the future, so I don't have room to follow more forums. But that's of course up to you.
Regarding posting on this forum, you could just post it in clear text without any formating, and then format it into the other systems where you wanna post it with formating etc. Just an idea.

I am playing this game on my Mac and everything is working just fine.

Hey folks,

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I've been reading your feedback and watching streams when I can. To that end, I know Onslaught is loud and overwhelming, particularly as you level up. To some extent, there isn't much I can do about this, but I'm trying.

To that end, version 21.01.04.1738 has an experimental setting to silence asteroids more than roughly a quarter screen away. This doesn't change focus modes, nor does it silence asteroids that are colliding with you. This can't completely eliminate overwhelmingness, but I played a few rounds on wave 12, and had moments with 30 asteroids active but none audible because they were all jammed up near the edge of the field.

I also reduced bullets' base speed by 25%. This means that they cover less distance, but because a bullet's speed is their base plus the ship's speed, moving makes them travel further. Hopefully this incentivizes hunting, and makes it a bit more difficult to stay in one place. You can certainly still spray-and-pray, but that strategy has risks too, like fragmenting asteroids that are close by when you don't intend to.

Please try out the new setting. If it is an improvement, I want to remove it, make it the default, and work it into the docs and tutorial.

Thanks everyone!

No, sorry. On sale for $4.99. Happy to talk about the source in general terms, though, and maybe share select snippets if it helps others.

I really like the new silence asteroids setting as it can make gameplay more challenging, particularly when there is only 1 target remaining.

I finally used controlers on android, both PS4 and X-Box and I can say that I am sorta fast with them, but I don't know if I can do bigger waves with them since I didn't have enough time to practice when I had any of them.
Also, another thing that I didn't know how to fix were the haptics, I thought you got them with the controllers, I didn't.

@92 That's another thing, no haptics on Android AFAIK. I don't know if that's a limitation of Godot or of the Android gamepad APIs.

Cool, be sure to check out the "Silence distant asteroids" setting, first in the settings menu. I'll probably switch that on by default next week, then do away with it entirely in another week or so if no one complains. SO in all likelihood, that'll be how the game behaves going forward.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give making colliding asteroids obey the setting some thought. Right now colliding and focused asteroids are zoomed (I.e. have their audio unpaused and their volumes amplified.) To some extent, high waves being overwhelming is part of what makes the game a bit more difficult, because otherwise, what would make wave 25 harder than wave 5? But I'm open to perspectives, so convince me.

And congrats on the high score! A 3-hour run is amazing!
