Slime Strider Beta!

Slime Strider Beta is now official! Lots of new changes, Quality of Life improvements, new ability, mobile and console support and final stage of the game before 1.00 release!

• Fixed Game Stretched mode to be more appealing
• Added mobile controls
  • Mobile controls will activate upon loading unto the game scene and if you device has touch screen input! Not fully implemented well yet!
• Improved core gameplay loop
  • Shields has been removed... I felt that they does not work well with current systems.
• Two new slime types: Shadow Slime and the Creeper Slime. The Shadow Slime has a long spawn time and is somewhat hard to see, but it moves slow compared to other slimes. The Creeper Slime was made with the goal of stopping the player from camping on the bottom of the screen and will roam in that area until its life timer of 10 secs goes away or it reaches the end of the screen. 
• Blitz been added: Every so often, a large group of fast red slimes come charging at you! (Between 5 to 15 of them!)
• Mini Boss Improvements: New Sprites
• Time bonus has been revamped: The time bonus to score has been changed:
  • For every 5 seconds in game, gain +10 points; Simple as that! No cap to amount you can gain
• Added Console gamepad support
  • Also detects when you plug in the controller (At title screen though!)
• Increased sprite size of all slimes within 25-50%. Dev note; Hit detection was not performing like I would like them to have during Alpha, so I increased the sizes of the enemy sprites along with the hitboxes.
• Added Specialization for the player to choose before entering combat. Specialization serves as modifiers for the player to use to augment their play style. Dev note: This system is kinda like having traits for your player; Increase health for less speed, increase firing rate for reduced damage. 

• Improve sprite artwork for green slime, blue slime, mini-boss slime, and player. Dev note: I just didnt like the sprite work of the originals as much as I do now
• Added sounds to all pickups and abilities.
• Added Death Animations for player and slimes

Slime Strider Beta is a vastly improved game from Slime Strider Alpha, and as such, the ending of the core development of Slime Strider. Plans are to export to web browsers, Android devices, apple devices, Linux, windows, and maybe even console (particularly the switch) in the coming days. Please send any bug reports or other issues you have to me! You can join the official discord server or post on the discussion board.
