Update Released
- 13 March 2024
The latest update to the interstellar destruction simulator, Solar Smash, has arrived, bringing with it an array of gameplay changes, fixes, and new features designed to enrich the cosmic gameplay experience. As players continue their role as harbingers of celestial doom, this update promises to refine and expand upon the already thrilling mechanics of planetary obliteration. Below are the detailed patch notes for this exciting update.
Gameplay Changes
The physics engine has undergone a significant overhaul to provide a more realistic and visually stunning destruction experience. Collisions now result in more dynamic debris fields and planetary disintegration effects, enhancing the satisfaction of unleashing cosmic havoc.
Improved Weapon Balancing
Several adjustments have been made to the arsenal at players' disposal. Laser intensity and missile impact forces have been re-balanced for a fairer challenge. This ensures that no single weapon is overwhelmingly powerful, encouraging strategic diversity in annihilating planets.
New Planetary Defense Mechanisms
Planets now come equipped with advanced defense systems that activate when under attack. These include anti-missile turrets and energy shields capable of deflecting certain attacks. Players must now devise new strategies to bypass these defenses and achieve total destruction.
Bug Fixes
- Resolved an issue where certain planet textures would fail to load correctly.
- Fixed a bug causing the game to crash when too many explosions occurred simultaneously.
- Addressed a problem where saved game progress was not being correctly recorded, leading to lost progress upon restarting the app.
Performance Improvements
- Optimized game performance across all supported devices, resulting in smoother gameplay and reduced battery consumption.
- Improved loading times for faster access to destruction.
- Memory leaks that previously led to gradual performance degradation over extended play sessions have been plugged.
New Features
- Customizable Planets
Players can now customize their own planets before annihilating them. This includes altering surface conditions and atmospheric composition and even populating them with unique life forms. Witnessing the obliteration of these personalized worlds adds a new layer of engagement (and guilt). - New Weapons of Mass Destruction
The solar arsenal expands with several new tools designed for maximum devastation:- Quantum Disruptor: Temporarily alters planetary physics, causing unpredictable effects.
- Atmospheric Incinerator: Engulfs entire planets in unstoppable fires.
- Dark Matter Bomb: Consumes everything in its vicinity, growing more powerful with each absorption.
Multiplayer Mode (Beta)
For the first time in Solar Smash history, players can compete or collaborate in real-time multiplayer mode. Engage in interstellar warfare against other would-be destroyers or team up to take down heavily fortified celestial bodies together.
Conclusion
This update marks a significant leap forward for Solar Smash, introducing substantial improvements that enhance both its visual appeal and gameplay depth. The introduction of customizable planets and multiplayer mode (currently in beta) promise fresh experiences for returning players while addressing performance issues ensures a smoother experience across all devices. As we continue our journey through this universe of destruction, we look forward to seeing how players embrace these changes—and which planets will fall next.
Remember: With great power comes great responsibility...to demolish planets responsibly! Enjoy the updated cosmic chaos responsibly!
