So my first entry turned out a lot better than I expected it to. But that still doesn’t mean I’m perfectly satisfied with it.<\/p>\n
So I made the Special Limited Edition\u2020 Vacuous 2.0*! Which is mostly just small modifications to the game’s mechanics. No new levels or bosses, and it’s too drastic to be considered a bugfix.

\n *This is different from my actual entry, as explained below. The original entry here<\/a> is still unchanged.<\/p>\n
\n Bosses<\/span>:
\n – Boss # 1 has 25% less health
\n – Boss # 2 and 3 have 33% and 66% more health, receptively
\n – Fixed boss # 3’s box spawns moving weird
\n – Random enemy infinite bonus level now spawns a random boss every 10 waves
\n Bombs<\/span>:
\n – Bombs don’t do massive amounts of damage anymore (50% less). Because holy hell, you could throw 6 bombs at the last boss and kill him instantly. The boss’s bullets are still removed. They still function normally without regards to bosses
\n – Speaking of bombs, they now have a 3 second cooldown. Because you could still probably nuke the hell out of a boss even with bombs doing half damage to them.
\n – Bombs also come in packs of 2, because the power of one bomb isn’t really equivalent to the power of multi-shot.
\n – Added a visual for bombs
\n Enemies<\/span>:
\n – Waves now come every 6 seconds, instead of 10. This will help the game feel faster, and more like a shoot ’em up.
\n — “But now that you made the waves not on 10 second intervals, how does it relate to the theme?” I hear you say, however, that was not the only thing relating to the theme!
\n — Bosses still have 10 second looping patterns
\n — You still have 10 lives. Which is 10 seconds in a somewhat odd and obscure definition of “seconds”: (think of it as “ten second( chance)s”)<\/p>\n
\n <\/b>1.\u00a0<\/b>To attend (a duelist or a boxer) as an aide or assistant.[\/stextbox]Essentially I made a bad pun.<\/p>\n
\n – Powerups are now more noticeable
\n — multi bullets now has more spread
\n — speed increase makes you 66% faster than it did before
\n — firing speed now makes you shoot 33% faster than it did before
\n — big bullets are unaffected, because they already make you totally wreck bosses.
\n Misc<\/span>:
\n – added a small box at the bottom to contain all your stats\/powerups. Now you won’t be covered by words anymore.<\/p>\n
