Hello Overriders!

We've just updated the demo of Neon Override, and it has a bunch of awesome changes for you all too enjoy. Be sure to leave any feedback on these changes here, or over on our Discord!

Gameplay

• Health drops will no longer be picked up when at full health
• Metabolism has been reworked into High Metabolism, a Tier 4 rarity upgrade that will automatically collect all health drops at the end of a wave.
  •  Dev note: We still have longer-term plans to create more healing options in future upgrades, but we wanted to immediately replace a rarely picked upgrade with something more useful
• Wave 10 will now end when the 8th Datacube is collected
  • Dev note: No more needing to run to the middle!  This was based on feedback we've received from the community, so thank you to everyone who suggested it!
• Each Datacube now directly rewards 50 Shards when collected
  • Dev note: The game used to reward all 400 Shards when finishing the wave but this should feel a bit more intuitive

UI

• Level up screen will now show how many level up choices you have remaining
• Options and Exit buttons added to Home Base menu
• Tooltip added to Enemy Difficulty values on game over screen to explain that they can be changed in the options

Visuals

• Added unique models for each weapon type
• VFX added to Unyielding damage aura
• VFX added to more clearly mark Lightning Rod effect radius
• Beam VFX from Explosive Cells and Buff Enemy should no longer obscure the camera as much
• Ping Storm area should be more clear to see, especially on blue floors
• Replaced some level floors/backgrounds that reduced readability of gameplay
• Shop portal now animates to the beat of the music
• New upgrade icons

Optimizations

• Improvements made to performance when a large number of Infect debuffs were present in a wave
  • Dev note: This was a major cause of slowdowns on later waves, so this fix should help substantially on runs with Malware Missiles or other sources of Infect
