Hi Newgrounds.
The next update of Bullet Hell Maker will be released during the first days of july.
What is new in version 0.4:
Editor:
- The editor's UI has been improved with a new layout of properties.
- The test level's background now contains a grid.
New attack properties:
- Enemy's movement mode. This makes the enemy move while attacking.
- Sound played when the bullets are fired. The number of available sounds has been increased from 3 to 13. The "mute" option has been replaced with a "none" option in the sounds list, this does not affect levels made in the older versions of the game.
- Next attack based on the enemy's health. Usually in bullet hell games, the bosses perform stronger attacks when their health is low. This property is a list of attacks. If the list contains 2 attacks, the first one is used if the enemy's health is over 50% and the second one if the health is 50% or less. If the list contains 3 attacks, the health thresholds are 100% / 66.6% / 33.3%, and so on.
- Random bullet size
- Growing/shrinking bullets
- Bullet's acceleration
- Bullet's gravity force
- Increase/decrease bullet size while the attack is repeated
- Increase/decrease bullet speed while the attack is repeated
- Secondary triggered attack
- Item immunity. If enabled, the bullets are not affected by the player's bomb.
- 1 new bullet image (electric) and 1 new bullet color (grey). There are now 180 available bullets.
Battle:
- Press the left mouse button or the B key to use a bomb. Each player can use it only once in a game. The bomb inflicts 50 damage to bullets and 25 damage to the enemy, and it destroys bullets that do not have a set health. This doesn't affect bullets that have the item immunity.
- 8 new levels and their hard counterparts.
- 4 new enemies and game backgrounds have been added to the game.
- The enemies have more health in hard mode.
- In 2-players mode, when the enemy starts aiming at a player, a target icon appears over them.
- It is now possible to earn 3 stars in all the levels. New challenges have been added: "100-hits combo", "Do not use any item", "Destroy X enemy bullets".
Menu:
- The level buttons now open a new window that shows some information about the level.
- The language can be changed in the options. Le jeu est maintenant disponible en français !
