Hello everyone! It has been over year since I started the development of the Mushy Score and I am proud of how much progress the game has made. My goal of releasing it on Q1 2024 is coming close and I am happy to say that game is almost ready for the release. It just need more polishing touches and some additional features to extend the playtime. I created a devlog video about my one year journey. Go check it out:
 

It has been a while since latest update and game has evolved a lot since. Biggest change in the game is the Elemental Power system

Start of each run player can choose one elemental power. Currently available powers are Fire, Rock and Ice. These will improve players projectile and define up coming power ups. For example you can choose fire as your starting elemental power which will burn enemies. Later you are given choice to choose of one fire related power ups like fire shield or enemies dropping fire. 

These elemental powers will make each run more exiting! But there more! You can also choose secondary power up and that will be used as your strong attack! This will unlock new elemental power ups for you! And later you will receive the elemental power up combination! This combines the effects of both of you chosen elemental powers. For example Fire and Rock will burn and stun enemies! This will be huge power boost for the player and offer variety for runs!  

With elemental powers you will also receive some “minor upgrades”. These are generic upgrades that are offered to you regardless of the elemental power you choose. These are some basic stuff like increase max health, move speed or attack range. These effects stack and can give you huge power boost in long run.    

Now powers come with new challenges as I added a lot of new enemies! Here are some of new enemies: 

Summoner plant. Spawns army of smaller plants

Rock worm. Shoot boulders from long range

Flying plant. Flying enemy  

The game is close to release and is planned to release around March! Wishlist the game to get notification when it out and help it succeed with the Steam algorithm. Thank you for reading! Check out my mastodon account for more updated or try out the game demo!
