Hi All, We've today launched a major update to Firebird, partially aimed at addressing a few small issues raised by our players, but also to stay true to our commitment to constantly upgrade our games as new ideas emerge. For this update, we've expanded on our gameplay, weapons, achievements, menus and effects to bring you an exciting new build. Here's what's new. 1) Added new docking levels, partly inspired by the 1980's classic, Moon Cresta. Dock with additional ship parts to upgrade your firepower. 2) Added 8 new stages, with inspiration taken from the very early retro shooter, Space Firebird (An age old favourite of our lead developer) as well as the aforementioned Moon Cresta. 3) Added the devestating Death-Ray upgrade, blast your foes with this massive sustained, beam of ultimate destruction. 4) Added additional firepower to the alien ranks. 5) Improved the menus to include sound and music volume control, and a new and often requested Chaos option, which allows you to define the amount of particles, explosions and background effects to suit your tastes. 6) All menu choices are now remembered between games. 7) Added new achievements to match the new additions. 8) A number of other small tweaks to gameplay, flight patterns, alien weapons and the player's ship. Thanks to everyone for your support and enjoy the new build. The JimJams Games team.
