Hey rocketeers,

Only a small update this time, but a cool one nonetheless.
Powerups has been something on my list for a long time and I wanted to give them a try.
This update features a very simple one: Life gain.

The added "life" powerup simply gives the player a life to a max of 5 total.
It can help to overcome harder parts in levels for example.

I do have other powerups in mind, but would like to try out this concept first.

Alongside this feature I have also added 2 more main levels that use it.

Have fun!

Hey rocketeers!

Some more weeks have passed and again I've gotten some great feedback for some helpful features.
Many new players find that the difficulty still ramps up pretty fast after the first 4 levels. To counter that, I've improved a couple of things to hopefully take that edge off a bit and ease players in more.

First off, I have added 5 medium difficulty levels to give players a bit more practice before getting into the more challenging stuff.
I've also added difficulty labels to levels. Main levels have a difficulty set, so you can easily choose your battles.

You can also set an estimated difficulty for your own custom levels.

When playing a level for the first time it might be annoying to have to look around for the locations of the crates.
This is why I've added crate indicators, small arrows pointing to the undelivered crates in the level. In combination with the level panning functionality from the previous update you should be able to find all crates in no time.

When creating custom levels before completing the main ones there might be some components you have not seen before.
This is why I've added tooltips that appear when hovering certain components in the catalogs.

Another big point of frustration was losing a level over accidentally destroying one of those pesky vulnerable crates.
I decided losing the level might be a bit too harsh, and have replaced the gameover with a point penalty instead.
A vulnerable crate damages in penalty steps of 100, up to a total of 300 per crate.

That's it for the new features. The complete changelog is attached below.
I wish you all much fun and hope you'll let me know what you think!

CHANGELOG v0.7.0:
- Added crate indicators to point towards undelivered crates
- Added tooltips to catalog items in editor for more clarity
- Added level difficulty labels so it's easier to pick levels that match your skill
- Added 5 new medium difficulty levels
- Removed level 18 because it is simply too hard
- Removed game-over by crate destruction
- Added point penalty for damaging crates
- Fixed bug where crash occurs when closing the game while a level hint is visible
- Fixed bug where cursor keeps showing settings indicator after closing the editor

Hey rocketeers!

Some more feedback has rolled in, and I noticed there were some improvements needed to accommodate inexperienced players better.
With that in mind, I decided to pack this update with a couple of features dedicated to improving the player experience!

I've added tutorial tips to 8 different levels. These will explain a range of things from steering and accelerating, to handling tanks.
I plan to add more of these when finding a knowledge gap or when introducing new features.
Another big feature is the panning option in the pause menu. This option will provide the player with a way to explore levels without spending fuel.
By pressing this option you will easily be able to pan the screen in the same way as the level editor does.
Furthermore it seemed not all players understand when the ship is invulnerable (after losing a life). To emphasize the invulnerable state, I've added a protection shield animation.
Hopefully this will make it abundantly clear that the ship is safe while in this state.
Ship robustness has been increased a bit. Some find it hard to land the ship without losing a life, and others were frustrated losing a life on a small bump against a wall.
While this is partly intended (Rocket Shipment is meant to be challenging), I don't want to induce rage quits in the first 3 levels already.
I will keep focusing on finding more ways to further create an easier environment for new players just starting out.
Currently I'm planning on adding a bunch of easier levels so the player can gain some feel and experience controlling the ship before trying more difficult levels.

Finally, I've also done a graphical improvement for crates and flags. The crates and flags are now not only distinguishable by color, but also by shape.
The center parts of the crates have been adjusted to contain different shapes, which are also used in their respective flags. This way I hope to make a first step towards making the game a bit more accessible to players that have trouble distinguishing the color marks.
That's it for now! Keep posted for future updates, and don't forget to share your creations!
I always love to see new levels pop up in the Workshop!
Have fun!
