Figured it was one of the more simpler things to just fiddle around with, so I’m really not gonna be working on it too often. I did like this ramming mechanic I put in though, it makes things a little more engaging than just shooting at whatever spawns at the bottom of the screen. Gonna add more waves, enemies, and a lot of polish. Of course the name is also temporary, because I’m horrible at names so it’s gonna take a while to find one. Newer versions are gonna be put in here every so often until I feel like it’s finished. Once that happens, I’m probably just going to forget I ever did this, but here’s the first version. > **[Star Battles](https://arcade.makecode.com/S07240-58972-35424-31307)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Little update here, messed around a bit and added/polished some features in the process. Definitely not even halfway finished with the game overall, but in terms of un-botched playability; it’s almost there. I’ll add some finishing touches and put V1.5 in here tomorrow. Anywho, made 2 background tracks, “Void Cruising” and “High Gear”. Cannot figure out how to send these in a comment however. I also decided on a better name, “Void Reavers” I’ll probably change it again, or if anyone has any other suggestions in mind ---

Alright, I’ve updated the link, disappointed to see that doesn’t change the thumbnail and name in here though. * * * **[Changelog]** - Updated name to “Void Reavers V1.5” - Updated title screen with new menu options and visual changes - Added a new title screen background track - Replaced old battle track with a new one - Changed the Quick Ship’s light color to blue - Tweaked the stats UI, added new stat bar “VR” - Added the “Void Reaver” as an (A) Button special - Updated the Instructions to fit with the current state of the game, as well as more info on the “Void Reaver” attack * * * I probably forgot a few things, but I’m pretty sure I listed most of the changes. _Tell me what you think, and maybe even suggest changes or other features if you want._ But that’s all for now, probably gonna come out with another version in around a week.
