The Sega community has been very good and as a thank you for all the positive feedback and for the unexpected donations (which will be used to develop the complete game) Santa brings you a new DEMO version with the following changes:

• Stage 6 with 2 Bosses! (Thanks to Yuichi/@asinagasugi for the pc-engine assets. Check out his X68000 R-Type port WIP!)
• Improves instant respawn mode, with 2 seconds of flashing invincibility
• Improved manual fire response so you can manually shoot faster than auto-fire by bashing the button
• Beam button now works for normal shoot as in arcade, including manual repeated fire
• Improved most sound effects quality
• Added sfx feedback when hit in invincible mode
• Adjusted anti-air laser/bits/force hitboxes
• Adjusted force shooting speed
• Added some missing animations to bullets
• Player ship is a little faster and speeds up faster (up to 8 levels)
• Bits acceleration more close to arcade
• Better timing for PAL machines

From now till new year I will be busy but if any major bug should pop up I'll do my best to fix it ASAP.

Merry Christmas everyone!

And Let's make 2024 the year of MEGA R-Type!
