Postjam Update!

Heyo! Pretty significantly overhauled this little jam game I made about a week back because I was unsatisfied with the state I released it in. Still not perfect, but I'm more content with leaving as it is for a bit. Hope you enjoy, whoever you are!

Changes:

Star Shards!

• When asteroids are destroyed, they leave behind shards that can be collected by one of the new constellations to unlock things!
• They will despawn after around 6 minutes, so be sure to collect them when you can.

Star Chart (Constellation unlocking)

• On the left side of the screen there's a tab that lets you see constellations you've unlocked, alongside some info about what they do.
• Once you have enough shards, you can unlock new constellations here

New Constellations!

• Three Grow variations
  • Now your forest can grow faster!
• Summon 2 Druids:
  • Can never have enough of these guys.
• Collect
  • Collects all shards currently on screen! Fun to watch when there's a lot.
• Summon Bears
  • Bears sit on top of your forests and ward off asteroids by roaring really loud, but they cost a druid to create.
• Summon Spirits
  • These helpful little guys will collect shards automatically in a radius around them. They don't move after they are summoned, so you'll want to keep making them as your forests grow!
• Summon Ents
  • These guys eat shards while they work, but they'll lob piercing spikes upwards that slice through asteroids.
• Create Star Wave
  
  • At the cost of 100 shards, you can make a giant wave to wipe out all the asteroids you can see! Can really help pave the way for some growth

Gameplay Timer!

• If you care to for whatever reason, you can speedrun this game. Wowee!

Rebalanced Gameplay!

• The game takes a bit longer to complete now, but is more satisfying.
• The asteroid spawn rate changes at a more paced rate that should ebb and flow with the upgrades you unlock

Design Changes, Menu Stuff, Bugfixes, etc!

• Made it so the constellations appear in the background as you unlock them
• Volume, fullscreen, and tutorial toggle on main menu
• New fonts and display contexts! Fun!
• Lots of bug squashing.
• Refactored circle design and made it more readable
• Visual and audio feedback on constellation completion
• Lots of new sfx and vfx!
• Other stuff I don't care to mention.
