My design goal is simple: Replace "Fast and floaty" with "Heavy and visceral".
Here is a test of a 7-hit combo chain. I want the player to feel the inertia of the weapon dragging the character forward.

Simple: Complete the mini game!
Superhuman skill: Survive the mode without taking a single hit.
Current Completion Rate for 2nd achievement: ~0%.
Who is going to be the ONE to conquer that achievement? 🐻

After analysing the Black Friday data, I had to decide: Was the sales spike due to the "Sale Badge" (Anchoring) or the lower price point (Threshold)?
I’m leaning towards the Threshold.

Since SENTINEL INVADERS is much faster than the main story, I added a tutorial to highlight the new HUD, weapon decay, and Dashing logic.
Hopefully, this helps players master the mechanics before hitting the Leaderboards! 🚀

Reality of the App Store for SENTINEL 519:
❌ Total Sales: 10.
The Ad Math: • Price: $2.99 • Requested Cost Per Download: $2.53
After Store Tax, I am essentially paying for people to play. Definitely rethinking the iOS strategy.

This includes adding visual timers to pickups and tweaking UI.
It’s the kind of work I could get hooked on indefinitely (the trap of endless polish), but I know I have to stop and ship eventually.
The game is getting better, one step at a time. 🐻

Today's focus: The Hydro-Cannon
Wanted an ice weapon that respected physics (mostly). It ejects water which violently boils in the vacuum of space, freezing and condensing into a devastating ice projectile.
See it in action. 👇

Here we've plucked the protagonist from the void of space and onto solid ground. It's a more low-key update, but progress is progress!

To that end, look forward to this mechanic making its way in a NEW shooter mini-game update for SENTINEL 519: SAGA - GENESIS instead!
