I have just updated Deep Space Survivor to version v0.2.0! This release has quite a lot of improvements and changes, full changelog can be found at the end of this post.

Here are the most notable changes in this release:

Talents have been renamed to Research

I decided on reworking the Talents system and ended up renaming it to Research, I think that better describes the upgrading system I have in mind. Also the layout of the upgrading view has been revamped, I added a silhouette of the player ship and various research options on the ship.

Added Level Complete screen

The game now has a Level Complete screen once you have, well, completed the level, meaning you survived all of the enemy waves and killed all ships.

Added new enemy type: "Big Ship"

I have added a new enemy type to the level, dubbed "Big Ship". This ship spawns near the end of the level, and it several times more health and experience than the rest of the ships.
