added announcement of mob names in console at start of new level
bug fixes
community map ace by Richard0820
field tech: additive manufacturing - crouch while activating your field to print a throwable block
blocks 80% faster and 80% more dense/more damage
molecular assembler, pilot wave
inflation: 85->90% defense, 300->200% larger blocks
buckling: can spawn boosts or coupling in addition to heals, ammo, and research
new community level: dojo by weird_pusheen
sound-bot: makes phonon waves

quantum eraser -> metamaterial absorber: for each mob left alive after you exit a level there is a 17% chance to spawn a power up
uncertainty principle: extended to super balls
aperture: camera zooms in and out along with the skin animation
balanced tech:
cordyceps: zombies are much smarter, faster, do more damage, and last longer
negative entropy -> self-assembly: 1 heal per 33->25% missing health on each new level
renormalization: 44 -> 46% and +3% JUNK tech to pool
parasitism: 60 -> 83% damage

subway
start in an empty station
station exits are blocked by a gate that opens when you press a button
level exit spawns after you clear 4 stations
added 2 new stations (7 possible stations)
laser-bots lasers wiggle as it aims at the target
this is a nerf to iridescence and it looks cool
bug fixes
pause menu can sort tech by keywords
tech: mechatronics - randomly add +(7 to 13)% damage
a few new images
bug fixes
cherenkov radiation damage bug fixed it does much more damage and matches the description
level: subway
replaces gauntlet just before the final boss
gauntlet moved to community map pool
subway todo:
add a few more stations
balance difficulty
find bugs
surface plasmons does 50% more damage
elasticity renamed nitinol because I bought some nitinol wire and it's neat
entanglement power up no longer shows guns or fields you already have
disabled minimal HUD for training levels
reaction inhibitor 12->11% mob max health reduction
spawn.bodyRect() now can add blocks mid level without any extra code
I think I found all the bugs this causes, but let me know if any blocks added mid game aren't colliding
community map - clock update:
visual overhaul,live lighting, remove pendulum overlap, move with pendulum if you stand in it, debris, trap exit only opens after completing the fight, moving elements now freeze while using time dilation
JUNK tech: flatland - draw line of sight
credit to Cornbread for line of sight algorithm
a preview of future line of site content
try it out in console: tech.giveTech("flatland")
new images
bug fixes
factory: rewrote the end
clock gating was removed because it's annoying
liquid cooling -> refrigerant - freezes mobs after losing at least 5% health
mass-energy gets more effect from defense (0.13 -> 0.19)
ternary 84 -> 77% damage

exciton 16 -> 14% chance to drop
10% increase in overall mob health
new images
bug fixes
new community map!! underpass by Richard0820
duplicated power ups aren't circles
metastability makes power ups triangles instead of circles
3->4 seconds of half life before exploding
only metastability duplicated power ups have the lighting graphic
mob's that fall off the map now die instead of just being removed
so they can still spawn power ups
you can pick up power ups from slightly farther away (450)
but less far away when not facing the power up (100)
accretion has less lag at high amounts of heal power ups following you
several other bug fixes
setting - minimal HUD
remove: defense bar, damage bar, tech, in game console
improved text clarity on coupling
removed tech decoupling
added cloaking and sneak attack graphics
also, the 50% defense when cloaked is now clear from the defense bar
ternary 44->83% damage but requires current gun to have ammo/3 (was any gun)
wormhole invariant: uses much less energy to pause time
standing wave has less recoil when blocking
new images
bug fixes
new community level - superNgonBros by DesBoot
tech: induction brake - after using a heal slow nearby mobs for 15 seconds
tech: null hypothesis - +9 damage, spawn several research after removing
reworked: strange attractor - +7% damage, +10% duplication after removing
bremsstrahlung does 50% more damage
time crystals 200 -> 150% passive energy regen
it also tells you how much energy regen you will get
aperture (-50 to +150) -> (-10 to +110) damage
diaphragm (-33 to +100) -> (+8 to +80) defense
tungsten carbide 200 -> 222 health
CPT symmetry 30 -> 20 energy per second of rewind
quenching gives more max health, but also does more damage per over heal
final boss has 50% faster armor decay
so it takes even more damage the longer you fight it
a few more images
some bug fixes
retrocausality drains 30% less energy as time rewinds, but each time you start to rewind you drain 30 energy
no longer provides immunity for 1 second after exiting rewind
spawns 20% fewer bots
deflecting changes
shielded mobs take 50% more energy to deflect
deflecting shielded mobs now only disables your shield for perfect diamagnetism and not for very long
you can deflect any mob if you have at least 5% energy, but if deflecting brings you below that your shield is disabled for 1 second
also you can't passively regen energy while shield is disabled
standing wave rework
coupling gives iceIX -> max energy
expansion gives deflection efficiency -> +50 max energy
spherical harmonics gives 40 -> 50% deflection efficiency
electronegativity is a fieldTech for standing wave, wormhole, and pilot wave
also 0.15 -> 0.22% damage per energy
dynamic equilibrium is no longer unlocked by standing wave
tech: surface plasmons - after deflecting drains all your energy, shoot lasers in every direction
added a generic system to add code that loops for a set time
Example code:
simulation.ephemera.push({
name: "uniqueName",
count: 60, //cycles before it self removes
do() {
this.count--
if (this.count < 0) simulation.removeEphemera(this.name)
//run code here
},
})
some bug fixes
also new bugs probably
new favicon
heal power up overheals don't consume the entire heal power up
accretion works with all fields except wormhole
(only because wormhole eat up heals so it's bad)
spawns 6 -> 3 heals
pilot wave 1 -> 2 extra power up choices
standing wave 66 -> 150 max energy
electronegativity 0.1% -> 0.15% energy per energy (10->15% damage at 100 energy)

else if there are at least 4 small power ups they have a 1/4 chance to combine into a tech, field, gun
else a random small power up will change
new level: lock
it's a work in progress
I'm looking for feedback:
anything confusing?
combat too hard/easy?
it will probably feel hard because you don't know the map yet
images are now hidden by default for new players

(gotta protect our friends with slow internet)
finalBoss
mine mode comes in waves
orbiters mode comes in waves, and they spawn at a radius that intersects the player
several on new level tech effects now also run on each new final Boss phase
gun stuff, many worlds, negative entropy heal spawns
perfect diamagnetism slow fall is much strong, but works better when angled like a parachute
