Arcadium - Space Odyssey

Quality of LifeStreamlined Ship Stats: Spaceship base stats are now displayed as a sleek strip directly beneath your ship. No more clicking through tedious info buttons just to check your base stats!Fire Rate Visibility: Your current fire rate is now displayed in the gameplay stats panel for easier build management.Balance ChangesNeptune (The Hunt): Damage type changed from flat to percentage-based (%). Just like the recent dash adjustments, this ensures the skill scales properly and remains a powerhouse in the late game.Fauna: Base Critical Hit Chance buffed from 20% to 25%.Victoria (Overclock): Resistance reduction decreased from 50% to 30%. I want to see some highscores with Victoria!! :)Bug FixesFixed an exploit that allowed players to infinitely "farm revivals" using the Reboot Core artifact.A Quick Personal Note: Introducing Grazed!Just a gentle reminder that I am currently working on a brand-new title called Grazed! It is a fun, bite-sized arcade game built around short sessions and satisfying incremental updates.If you enjoy my work, I would be incredibly grateful if you could check it out or drop a wishlist; it helps a solo dev immensely!

What's NewNew spaceship Victoria:A high DPS and bullet-spam spaceship.New Skills: Focal Power and Overclock.New Trait: Iron WillNew spaceship Fauna:A high defense spaceship based on survival.New Skills: Giant Growth and Nimble Dart.New Trait: Adamant CarapaceRussian is now fully available in-game.New artifact Kinetic Core increases collision damage based on Max HP (pairs nicely with Fauna).New missions: Cosmic Wrath, Space Typhoon, and Juggernaut.Added a "total damage" stat in the pause menu stats panel.QoL improvementsBalance update: the collision damage cooldown from the spaceship has been reduced from every 1s to every 0.25s to enable the possibility of collision-damage builds.All dashes now deal percentage damage instead of flat damage (relying on them in late-game for damage is now a thing; this also helps the new collision damage builds).Bosses in endless mode are finally randomized (which makes it more fun and easier to complete some missions).Moon and explosive alien explosions are now more visible.FixesFixed an issue where negative resistance wasn't considered (e.g. using the artifact Glass Cannon was free damage). Various fixes and improvements.Support

Steam finally added the "Bullet Heaven" tag, and Arcadium is officially part of the genre! It feels good to finally have a name for what Arcadium and many other games are.To celebrate, I'm preparing a free update dropping on June 8th for the Bullet Fest, featuring:🚀 The brand new spaceship Victoria⚡ More missions, artifacts, relics :)✨ And a few surprises along the way…Plus, Arcadium will be discounted during the festival.If you haven't tried Arcadium yet, go wishlist or grab the demo. If you already own it, thank you! Every review and every player means the world to a solo dev.See you on June 8th!Luciano
