Did you know? Cosmic Destroyer has damage types + armor inspired by Joshua Sawyers' great Armor Systems deep dive.

Tanks != bag of HP. Damage stacks to a threshold by time, mitigating small hits. Collisions + missiles hit HARD and break armor. Update live tomorrow!

The player abilities for Demo v3.03 are being worked on. This version of the energy shield reduces damage, allows the player to push through enemy formations and still enables the use of limited abilities. 🚀
