v0.3a Too Much for One Title

In this update:

Improved Melee Attacking:
Quick shanks are funny but would get you hit just as much as the bugs.

• Melee attacking now a slash in front of the player rather than a quick stab.
• Melee collision size and distance from player improved (increasing range)
• Removed the cooldown between being allowed to melee
• Slightly increased the total time it takes to melee attack.

Improved Commission Rates:
Corporate has allowed more payout for most exterminations, remember this is per level, not totals

• As a note, Red Flowers remain the same -> 2 : 1
• Hive: 1 extermination = 1 gold -> 1 : 2
• Blue Bee: 2 exterminations = 1 gold -> 1 : 1
• Yellow Bee: 5 exterminations = 1 gold -> 3 : 1
• Caterpillar: 4 exterminations = 1 gold -> 2 : 1

Character Passives:
Choosing a character means something now

• Blue: Beginner’s Luck: All attacks you make have a 20% to be a critical hit. Critical hits deal double damage and if it exterminates a bug, that bug will drop a coin.
• Susan: Luck Healer: When a bug doesn’t drop a coin, they have a 20% chance to drop a healing heart.
• Ralph: Weapon Expert: All targets take +1 damage for each time they have been hit by both a melee attack and a bullet. When you melee a bug, their coin drop chance increases by 5%.
• Chick Magnet: Wanted: When you exterminate anything with a bullet, there is a 50% chance to refund the bullet to you.
• Tux: Snowball Shield: At the start of the level, you get a shield that will prevent all damage done to you for one attack. While active, you also deal +1 melee damage.

New Pickup Items:
Plant exterminations matter

• Heart Pickup: Heals the player 1 health when picked up.
• Shield Pickup: Grants +1 temp shield when picked up.
  • Temp shield will block damage 1:1 and is removed after level completion.
  • Note: temp shield works independent of Tux’s shield. Tux’s shield will ignore ALL incoming damage once and will act before temp shielding.

These pickup items can only be dropped by Red Flowers and Hives, who as you may have noticed already, do not drop coins.

• Hives can drop Shield or Ammo
• Red Flowers can drop Shield or Heart

• Current Gold is now displayed in the game level below the timer.
• Current Ammo is now displayed in the game level below the current gold.
