I have a nasty tendency to become so overwhelmed with pride in the amount of progress made, I ignore some of the minor issues that still exist. Of course, any update deserves to be fully complete before being presented publicly, and I fully admit I've failed to do that with the Beta 0.9 update. My sincerest apologies to anyone who was disappointed (or even recognized there was an update). Either way, here's what's been fixed:

UPDATES TO GAMEPLAY:

- Levels 25, 30, 35, and 40 now include extra blimps being spawned alongside the bosses

- Fixed an issue with the fire stream coming from bosses. Particles used to glitch positioning and jump around, however they now flow smoothly and evenly directly from the flamethrower below the boss.

- Fixed Missiles to instantiate inside the launchers being carried by the enemies. This gives a much more realistic 'shooting' look with missiles now actually being shot out of the appropriate location on the enemy sprite.

- Adjusted enemy positions on levels 16 and 19 to avoid overlapping blimps. This way the player has a better understanding of the number of enemies left versus those that are already destroyed.

- Fixed an issue occurring when the player would die while simultaneously killing one of the early bosses. Typically the timescale would increase to rush the player to the next level. However if the player died during this time of increased speed, when the player respawned the timescale would not be corrected. This issue is now fixed and the timescale resets back to normal speed upon player death.

UPDATES TO GUI:

- Readjusted the position of bullet sparks on the player so they overlap the sprite a little more clearly.

- Actually fixed the incorrect spelling of "Missiles" that appears during gameplay in the bottom right corner. Something I thought I had fixed, but obviously hadn't.

With these finalized updates, version beta.0.9 is truly released. As was stated in the previous devLog, there is still much more to come. Not only is the end goal 100 full levels, but new mechanics and (most likely) new enemies will also be introduced in future updates. As always, I hope this version is still enjoyable and thank you for your interest.
