Nuclear Throne Update Released, New Weapons, New Sounds & More

Nuclear Throne is a very nifty little game from Vlambeer, it's a Procedural Death Labyrinth with over the top action and plenty of characters to choose from.

I actually did a video of it here, it's really quite fun.

There are plenty of bugs fixed this time as well as some new features. For Linux users pressing "R" to restart now works, it was an annoyance I am glad to see fixed!

One of the best things about this update is the new "Super Flak Cannon", can't wait to get my hands on that.

Full changelog:

QuoteFeatures
Enemies on Venuz and Mimics now have sound effects!
The horribly powerful Super Flak Cannon.
We fixed a million bugs and a lot of crash bugs. Not really a feature, but it should significantly improve your Nuclear Throne experience!

Balancing
Stress has been made more powerful.
IDPD no longer spawns when you level up past level 4.
The Flamethrower and the Dragon now use less ammo, and push enemies away harder.
The IDPD Shielder now shoots a lot less projectiles.
Toxic barrels no longer explode, and instead just release gas.
Once again, the Auto Crossbow has been made less accurate.
Enemies now target both players in coop.

Fixes
You can now select all crowns with the gamepad.
Enemies no longer spawn corpses when flying up etc.
Setting the music volume to 0 will no longer give you an error message.
Killing Lil Hunter no longer crashes the game!
Visiting the stat screen no longer crashes the game.
And then there's a ton of bugs fixed related to: Assassins; Crystal's Shield; Portals; The HUD in coop; Bosses spawning; Allies getting hit by explosions, and Golden Scorpions!

Misc
The game now has a proper icon.
Spiders are now green, making them at least 34% more visible.
Some of the music tracks have been updated slightly.
The lightning weapons now have a work in progress sound effect.
Some new tips have been added.

Have you tried it yet? What do you think?

I think it's a seriously good time-waster that should satisfy people's thirst for some action. The graphics are perfectly suited to this type of game too.
