There's a new "Ultimate UFO" in Fasteroids. In an earlier version of the game I added green (slow), yellow (faster), and red (fastest) UFOs. This release adds an "Ultimate UFO." Green UFOs are worth 1000 points, yellow UFOs are worth 1200 points, red UFOs are worth 2000 points and the new "Ultimate UFO" is worth 10,000 points. The Ultimate UFO is extremely fast, shooting it among all the asteroids can be quite a challenge. As with other UFOs if the UFO crashes into an asteroid you don't get any points.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this in an earlier post but I also added a (SHIFT) warp function. Pressing SHIFT warps your player jet to a random location on the screen. I haven't tested this extensively but I expect it could very well warp you right on to an asteroid, so use warp with caution. I have not mapped a warp button on to a game controller button yet, but will do so soon.

This reminds me to mention that Fasteroids is playable with a game controller. I tested with a wireless XBox 360 controller, but testing was done some time ago. All the testing I've done recently is strictly with keyboard input.

The next steps are improving the "Ultimate UFO" intelligence, reducing the sprite animation a bit (because it's so fast I'm not even sure it completely animates), and fixing the "invincibility bug." The last item is my top code priority. I'm also putting together a video of the history of how I started Fasteroids, what it looked like in the beginning, where it is now, and where it's heading. Look for that soon. For now enjoy this new version of Fasteroids. As always please leave a comment if you run into any issues.
