I’ve been working on Interstellar Force version 2.0 over the past few weeks.  A lot of the new features were requests by users and some were items that I just didn’t have time to add to the original version.

Here are some highlights:

• Three new levels including an additional 8-Bit level
• An all 8-Bit Endless Mode (requested by multiple users)
• Boss fights at the end of each level
• Original levels are enhanced and lengthened
• Lots of new enemies including enemies that spawn stuff (enemies, etc…) when they die
• A 3 level “lite” version of the game that is free for people to test drive Interstellar Force.
• Free upgrade for existing users
• And More!

I hope to release Interstellar Force V2.0 and Interstellar Force Lite sometime in February – keep an eye out.
