Keep it steady
Hello!
Please give a warm welcome to our shiny new addition to the enemy fleet; The Destabilizer!
This new enemy has only one goal; to reach the black hole and destabilize it. And if it gets the chance to do so; thing turn bad:
As gravity increases, and meteors fall into the black hole at increased speeds, enemies will flee the stage to avoid getting hit. Apart from the meteors being much harder to evade; the event lasts quite a while, tanking your multiplier. So besides the high risk, you'll lose out on points in the long run. And if you're thinking, "At least some of the enemies are gone", .. tough luck! Once the event is over, they come back. All in all it'd be best to prevent the event from happening at all by preventing the Destabilizer to reach the black hole. Fortunately the Destabilizer has his own little marker on the edge of the screen that is slightly larger and a different color, making it easy to spot an prioritize.
At the moment, the Destabilizer is very much still a work in progress. Quite a lot of work is involved in dynamically changing the whole field, both in appearance as well as dynamics. And while those bits are in and working as whole, there's still quite a lot of rough edges, both in visual effects as well as gameplay, which wel'll continue to polish in the next few weeks.
With this weeks update, you may encounter the Destabilizer after reaching stage 10, after which it has a 10% chance each stage to appear.
Have a good day!
