Toyful Wonderworld news & patch notes

• The scoring star system has been altered to include another tier, which raises the diamond score to a higher level. Any crowned levels should be at the gold tier of five stars after the update.
• A bonus difficulty setting has been added called BLIGHTMARE, which unlocks after completing the game. This mode adds randomization to the enemies, switching many of them out for stronger ones and making the bosses more challenging. This is purely extra content that doesn't yield any new rewards, created for those who want more of a challenge!
• New colored variants of some enemies have been added, which appear exclusively in the Blightmare mode. They are faster and more aggressive than their normal counterparts and use altered attacks.
• The Pistol, Rifle, Gatling Gun, and Revolver all become more powerful when playing on the Blightmare difficulty setting.
• New elements known as Ammo Crates appear throughout the game, which will refill some of your ammunition. They will reactivate each time the player loses a life.
• Adjustments have been made to certain enemies to make them less challenging on the EASY setting, including Pitchem and Scowlitzer.
• Music files have been updated to reduce file size and increase overall performance.
• New sound effects for each difficulty button on the map screen have been added.
• Returning to the main menu has been disabled as a menu option for now, as it causes a crash due to the Achievement system. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to determine why this is causing issues...
• If anyone experiences silent crashes, you can press DELETE on the main menu to temporarily disable the game's Achievement system. It will reset upon restarting the game.
• Speaking of which, multiple Achievements have been added for finding all of the collectibles and beating all levels on the Extra Juicy and Blightmare difficulty settings.
• Other minor fixes to improve overall performance.

• Added a treasure counter to the in-game map's legend
• F12 should allow you to take pictures with the Steam overlay

The time has come for Toyful Wonderworld to open its doors at long last! On April 3rd, you will be able to explore this weird place, defeat many crazy Toyfriends, and discover the secrets of this wonderous place! I would like to thank everyone who has been supportive of this project, all the way back to when it started as a Bad Toys fangame. Since then, it has evolved into something even more crazy and bizarre and colorful, yet it still proudly displays its inspiration of the original toy shooter.

I would like to note that this is the first game I've ever released on here, and the first full game I've ever developed in general. I'm working to ensure that everything is as optimized as I can make it with my limited programming skills, but there is always the possibility that there are bugs and glitches that I may have missed. In fact, I'm almost certain of it. That being said, do not hesitate to notify me on the discussion page here if you come across anything that seems to be off or not working properly. I will actively work to resolve any issues that are found to the best of my ability and update the game as needed.

Anyways, however this release goes, I truly hope you all enjoy exploring the most joyful Toyful Wonderworld and battling the many crazy characters I've created here. They are waiting to meet you all, ON THE BATTLEFIELD!

Oh, also, the game will be 25% off for the first two weeks after release. So uuhh, YAY!
