New Update V0.1.1


Here’s version 0.1.1:

We’ve added a new UI with an options menu (press Escape to show/hide) and an upgrade menu (accessible from the TopBar).

The first gameplay loop is now available — you can try it out using the installer!
Feel free to share your feedback in the comments section.

Follow-up:

New Upgrades:

  • New types of targets (meteors, UFOs, aliens, rockets, planets) with different colors:

    • Moving targets (harder to click) give more coins?

    • Red targets make you lose money (the only “bad” ones in the game)

    • Targets with health (require multiple clicks to destroy) that reward more coins

    • Targets that give a coin boost (x2) for a short duration (golden/yellow screen effect)

    • Fast-moving “UFOs”

  • Black holes that appear and attract or destroy meteors?

  • Right-click action? (e.g., a power-up that destroys all meteors on screen with a cooldown)

Ideas:

  • Meteors give more coins based on their size?

  • Special events (like meteor showers or bosses) triggered after a certain number of kills (score):

    • Final boss: a giant alien that shoots meteors

    • Add QTEs?

    • Reflex bar minigame?

  • Leave a trail when holding down click

More Linear Progression:

  • The “hold to shoot” upgrade is too strong compared to the “click” upgrade

UI/UX:

  • Lock the player’s cursor

  • Add a customizable crosshair (dot/cross adjustable in options)

  • 3D scene rendering?

Patches:

  • Set music volume to 10% by default (currently way too loud)

  • Destroy meteors on OnPointerDown instead of OnClick (better feel, less frustration)

  • New language? French?
