Hi all, Once again, it's been awhile since we've updated [b]Firebird[/b], and this time we've made a few major improvements. Firstly, following our tradition of being heavily inspired by some of the classics, we've added a '[b]Gorf[/b]' like space shield that will absorb some incoming alien fire. Be warned though, it doesn't stop all alien weapons and ships can pass freely through the barrier. Luckily, barrier damage will slowly regenerate.. If you survive long enough! We've also added the ability to shoot down all alien bombs, (if you're fast enough.) Thirdly, we've made some performance improvements which should see some lower-end cards showing some smoother game-play. We've also taken this opportunity to improve the visuals in a number of areas, so [b] Firebird[/b] is now even better looking. Enjoy all, The JimJams Games team.
