Enemies I ended up adding 5 brand new enemies, bringing the total to 7. As well, all enemies have their own sprites now and consistent guns, so you know what you will be fighting.
Bosses I added 4 bosses that you fight at the end of each galaxies. Each boss has mechanic and some of them will be receive changes in the next update to flesh them out more.
Guns A total of 3 new guns have been added. While I ideally wanted more, these guns take advantage of the bullet effect system I made, allowing them to be more distinct to the previous guns.
Items Again, 3 new items have been added. These as well take advantage of bullet effects to modify your guns in new ways. As well, one of them will completely change how a run is.
Active Items A total of 8 active items were added. These items have three states: uncharged, recharging, and fully charged. You can use the active item while it's recharging for a less powerful effect, or wait for a fully charged item to cause an additional effect. These are charged when you are able to dodge bullets.
Scarp & Outpost Enemies and Scrap Meteors now drop scrap. This can then be used at the Outpost to purchase new items or for you to sell current items. Outposts change every galaxy, so make sure you check it out before you leave.
Galaxies and Distortions After defeating the boss for a galaxy, you are given an option of three different galaxies. These galaxies will sometimes have distortions, which affect the next area you play in. Things like more space for fights, more items, or portals appearing may affect your run.
