Happy new year everyone! Hensen Hopper, the game I've been working on for the better half of 2024, is now officially released! Well... technically it's in beta and I'm still actively working on it, but that's BASICALLY released, right?

I know my game is very lackluster at the moment, I wanted to get a basic version of the idea I have in my head built before I started expanding upon it and transforming it into a more complete video game. I have a ton of ideas for additions I plan to make to this game and ways I can expand upon the concept!

One thing I definitely plan to get working on soon is adding more enemy types to the game. I deliberately set the enemy script up as an abstract class so I could relatively easily do this. One idea I have in particular is an enemy that floats and fires for a much shorter time and then divebombs toward the player. I also have an idea for an enemy that has a much higher health than the enemies in the game right now but doesn't attack you at all and instead floats in front of the row of enemies moving back and forth just to block your bullets from hitting them. I have a few other ideas, but this one is the most complete of them.

I also plan to mess around with the enemy spawning behavior in this game because I do feel like there are a lot of moments where there's too little happening in the level. 

That's all I have to say for now!
