  I'm making a new game called Cavity Busters!

  Hello! I'm working on a new game and it's coming out on Early Access soon! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1084220/Cavity_Busters/ Cavity Busters is a rogue-lite bullet hell with fast game play. It features toothy fast combat where your main method of attack is a tooth that you shoot and suck back. Also plenty of bullets....and bodily fluids. If that matters to you. It might. But HEY! We have a demo over on our discord. Join the Discord. Play the demo. Throw up. Don't mix up the order. That's pretty important. Oh and make sure to add the game to your wishlist! :) Eye'll see ya!

  Clarity Update

  You awake. Your eye is blurry. You pull your tendrils up to wipe away the rheum. Things start to come into focus... This is.... THE CLARITY UPDATE! The focus of this update was to make things easier to see. For a game about eye balls, it's not very easy on the peepers. There was a lot of clutter and clashing colors. With this update, I hope clear things up :) Here's what's new: 2 new players to unlock Background art on all three levels were recolored to be easier on the eyes. The amount of red in the game has decreased A background has been added to the secret boss level Some of the enemy bullets were changed to be easier to see Decreased the amount of clutter on screen All playable characters received a color change Player UI is now displayed outside the playing area when the game is in full screen New end boss New ending cut scene New end boss music track Ultra enemies are now visually different Some of the boss attacks were changed to be a bit more forgiving Eye worm bosses health now scales to what level you encounter it on Added a level progress bar to the ui Player now starts with two bombs if they end the level with less then 2 bombs Player receives a part of a bomb when they use the shield power up on full health Shot gun player now has a long range charge shot Changed leaderboard font Endless mode was balanced out a bit 13 new endless mode upgrades were added Any secret bosses found will show up in the endless mode rotation Endless mode has a new type of upgrade shield Bugs hopefully fixed :D : Leader board shouldn't crash the game anymore (you can now see the leader boards within the community hub. Let me know if it still crashes. I've had it crash on me so I'm having a hard time figuring out whats happening) Eye worm will now die. (sometimes it would get stuck and never die) fixed a bug where the mini bosses wouldn't take damage because their health kept being reset. Plus a whole load of other little tweaks Thank you for playing! Enjoy :)

  1.1.4 Just a quick little update!

  hEYE! :D This is just a quick little update to add some quality of life features. First and probably most important: - A slow/focus key. (left shift, C or I) This will add some ease to some of the more tricky areas. You'll have to let me know how it feels. Too fast, too slow? -An option in the menu to flip the screen so you can have a "proper" shmup experience. It isn't perfect but it'll do the trick :) -A controls button in the options to show a list of controls. Sorry, no rebinds yet :( -A cheat button in the options menu. The game will also save any cheat codes you enter from now on. Annnnnnd that is it I think. Enjoy! :)

  1.1.3 Update New Boss and Playable Character

  Hello fellow eye balls! This update contains some cool new goodies :) Whats new : Brand new boss fight 4 new mini boss fights New playable character that follows suit of the above mentioned boss A new upgrade Updated some art here and there Possible fix for 1440p displays. (This one I'm not sure on. You'll have to let me know) You can now take screenshots with your standard Steam screenshot key. There's more but I forgot to keep track of the changes because I'm......near sighted ;0 Awaken the four eyes to call forth the wrath of Crown Cornea and free her children! If you've enjoyed your time with Rheum, consider leaving a recommendation as it nudges Steam to suggest the game to other people :) If you don't want to, please ignore my shameful request and keep shooting eye balls! :D

  Leaderboards!!!

  This update includes leaderboards so you can compete with friends and other cool strangers! You can check the leaderboards in the main menu. There will be a fleshy skin tab that you can click on. Your local highscores wont get added. Sorry :( If you run into any issues, let me know. Setting up a leaderboard is new to me so there might be some errors. Also added an option in the option menu to clear the screen of any unnecessary text, like scores from close range kills and grazing bullets. Eyenjoy!
