Hello all,

In this big update to Zaxterion: Space Frenzy!, I've addressed several bugs that mostly dealt with the most newly added baby spider hordes that I added last summer to the game. It's been several weeks making this update, so I'm honestly void of exactly what bugs I fixed now, but I assure you that those baby spiders are still a massive pain to deal with! The best bet is to not let that spider lay too many eggs in his web without taking care of them!

The main part of this patch adds two brand new ships to the game that you can earn and play forever once you earn and purchase them! ..Remember that the game saves all of your earned Zaxterion in the game and all of your purchased ships you use that Zaxterion to buy!

"Crazy Kyle!" is the first "ship" you can purchase and yes, you see that correct if you think you just see a dude in standard clothing and a propeller attached to his head! ..Notice in the ship stats that he also has a slow shooting speed and ZERO armor! ..This guy is just for "fun" and/or for bragging rights if you happen to find this game just "too easy"!

---------------

"The Swagger" is the second new ship that I've added to the game in this update, and you might have noticed that this ship has NO standard shooting! This ship is all about using your path to double up on your trail to set it ablaze which can not only harm all asteroids and enemies in the game, but also damage YOU if you run into it! Be careful with it, learn how to use it, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with the new "Swagger" ship with it's unique powers!


These two ships now make to the total number of ships 12, and should help add to the replay value of a game I already feel has extremely high replay-ability! I hope you enjoy them!

---------------

The Assassin: New Stealth Enemy
The Assassin is a brand new enemy that will make loops and shoot out deadly missiles in many directions as it loops!

The Assassin will also stealth itself whenever it detects that you've fired at it! Discovering exactly how to take on this stealthy and crafty new foe is all up to you!

---------------

The Healing Angel Power-Up:
The Healing Angel is a brand new power-up that can be found on the Mother-ship on occasion whenever it visits you at the cost of some of your gold.. or sometimes found in loot chests as well! It only lasts for a brief period of time, but during that time, it will follow you around and heal you much like a Cleric in a classic MMORPG!


As with most indie games, this new content will need to be tested and played by many players over time and there will likely be some in-balances and bugs found. Please help me by posting any problems you find either in the comments below or in the forums for this game to help me put out hot fixes and updates to make your experience better!



Thank you for reading!

Have Fun!!

Yes, you read it right! As if Zaxterion: Space Frenzy! didn't have enough threats to worry about, now you'll need to be wary of the spider lurking in his corner web. He's always been a threat if you got too close, but no longer can you just stay on the opposite side of the screen as if you do, he will slowly form an army of eggs in his web that he'll protect with protective webbing until eventually they will be unleashed! Once this happens, you'll be relentlessly swarmed and mercilessly attacked by the spider demons and have to fight for your life!

To prevent this insane and deadly chaos from occurring, you'll need to attack the Death Spider before he has a chance to form and protect the eggs that can quickly accumulate and spell your doom!

..This is exciting new content and has been added in this update and is completely free!

Other changes made in this update:

* Gold nuggets now wrap around just like asteroids and all enemies and your own ship. Before this update, gold nuggets would disappear forever if they went off the screen. This means more gold is now available for you.. and that dreaded goblin too!

* The prices have increased for most of the power-ups that can be purchased from the mother ship that visits at the top of the screen. This was to ensure that some of the strongest power-ups in the game cost more than more common power-ups. (Note: health costs have NOT increased in price)

* The mother ship that visits you at the top of the screen and the brother ship that visits and the bottom of the screen now could visit you from either side. Before this update, the mother ship only came in from the left and the brother ship only came in on the right side of the screen. Now, both of these ships could visit you from either direction.

* The Poggers DLC ship hasn't been changed mechanically at all, but shooting a skull no longer shows a "Pow! /Blam! / Zonk!" type of cartoon word. That kinda of old Batman TV show type of word now only shows up when you use your power bounce to smack a skull for damage rather than simply shooting it. ..I think that this fits my vision of what the Poggers ship and my old 2019 Poggers Steam game much better!

* Some details of the mother ship have been enhanced to make it more visually appealing.

Enjoy fighting the hordes of eight legged freaks!
