Cryptark Update 0.9

34% off this week until April 2nd http://store.steampowered.com/app/344740

Main additions/changes:

• 'Cryptark Excavation' end game - Unlocked once Campaign and Rogue mode have been beaten - a final battle against the Contractor to claim a alien artifact
• Heavy amount of difficulty balancing - with enemy damages, costs of items/health, and bonuses. We've decreased the amount of waves in the Campaign to 6, and to 5 for Rogue mode
• Massive amount of optimizations (all over, but a lot with AI pathfinding).
• Added HUD voice telling player when systems destroyed, repaired, and other ship actions. Volume set by Voice control
• New graphics/effects: glowing parts on all systems, new 'shielded' system effect, large amount of new particle effects
• 'Cryptark' final ship in campaign/rogue is now a new double core system
• New Artifact screen with detailed descriptions, including unlocked artifacts
• Fixed Bug with losing past artifacts/progress
• Fixed audio cracking/pop bug on some systems after destroying slimer/liquid hazards

This is our final update before we release (hopefully around end of next month). Now that the final content is in we will be focused on balance / more optimizing / bug fixing
