Update on character progression and unlocks 🪙
- scrapped my original rank progression mechanics where the player must reach certain levels to unlock a skill
- replaced it with a Credit System
- characters and skills can be unlocked through credits earned by playing the game

Adding a revive animation when a player retries the level.

Spent quite a bit of time making the "Game Over" transition. This iteration feels right for now.

The 80's called, they want their transformation animation back.

Made the robo-crab walk sideways for realism. 🦀

Created a custom camera controller, couldn't get the built-in target group/framing to work nicely with the zoom in and centering effect I wanted when transforming to ultimate mode. It also dynamically adjusts the follow offset.

Game performance test with 200+ enemies. Found a bug in shared particle system with collision enabled, crashing Unity's physics engine. Fixed it by just disabling the collision.

Game also runs smoothly on a Steam Deck LCD version at 60fps. 🎮
