Dungeon: Stars 1.3

Endless Mode! Level 5! New ships! This update turned out to be much bigger than I was expecting but it is all worth it! List of new and changed features are below:

Endless Mode

• A new mode separate from the story where you must fight waves of enemies in a true endless battle!
• Survive for as long as you can against increasingly difficult waves of enemies and bosses
• Get the highest score possible, tracked separately from your score in the campaign

New Level - Level 5

• Fight in the upper atmosphere of a planet
• Featuring new enemies, a new boss, and cool sequences
• Complete it without dying to unlock a new ship!

Boss 1 Reworked

• Now functions more like other large enemies; you must target its turret weak points.
• Once the four frontal turrets are down, it will behave differently, charging up a powerful laser and firing lots of missiles, but revealing a fifth weak spot in the process.

Boss 3 Rework

• Has a new attack and gets harder when you take out one of the turrets
  New Ship - Quasar
• An agile ship with quick and precise projectiles
• High damage but low spread
  New Ship - Excalibur
• The ship of an unexpected ally, focused on rapid fire
• Medium spread and average damage all around
  New Ship - Nullifier
• The ship of a sworn enemy, focused on damage and power
• High damage, penetrating projectiles, and strong AOE missiles, but the weakest shield in the game

Gunship Rework

• Removed Cluster Missile, replaced with Anti-Missile Drones.
• Reduced fire rate and damage of secondary fire. Speed is slightly faster.

Code Improvements and Optimizations

• Better code practices through Coroutines and Events
• Respawning and game over is handled better
• Reduced number of collisions so performance should be much better in large levels
• Optimized audio sfx so more sounds can play at once and you don't go deaf when 100 projectiles are on screen
• Updated Fungus so something may have broke

Other

• New enemies (You can see them in Endless Mode)
• New Level Select screen with unlockable levels
• New ships are locked but can be unlocked by achieving certain criteria
• Added a Pause Menu
• Added new music and sfx thanks to some cool asset packs
• Improved Game Summary screen
• Some balance changes: player ships are slightly smaller and faster, player projectiles are faster
• Tier system - Play as good as you can to get the highest Diamond rank!
• Hit effects when you hit an enemy
• New death animation - Your ship will fly out of control briefly before it explodes or hits something
• Summary screen looks different if you lose.
• Improved Options Menu: Now has resolution, fullscreen, and volume control!
• New Font on all text in the game
• Fixed some bugs
• Added more bugs

To play, download the Dungeon Stars Beta zip file and extract it anywhere, then run the executable.
