I'm now working on version 1.1 of Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage, which will launch later this week (currently aiming for Friday 7th May or Saturday 8th May). This update makes a few improvements to the code behind the scenes, but the main focus will be the addition of the new 'Endless Attack' mode. 

I've received great feedback about the game so far but one of the recurring things I've heard is that some players would like to play the game for longer than 2 minutes at a time. Endless Attack mode is the answer to this as it removes the time limit and allows players to play the game for as long as they can survive for. The difficulty in this mode will increase the further you can get in the game, with the enemies and their shots speeding up to provide an even greater challenge.

Endless Attack mode has its own separate high score to the main Challenge Stage mode and you'll be able to  switch between game modes on the title screen by pressing the X key.

I'm currently testing Endless Attack mode and it's coming along well. I'm hoping that it will enable all players of Solar Blaster: Challenge stage to enjoy the game even more and provide a fun alternative to the standard 2 minute timed challenge.

Look out for the update later this week!
