Space Pirate Trainer UPDATE - New weapons, enemies, and features [HTC Vive VR]

Gameplay from Space Pirate Trainer, my favorite VR shooter for HTC Vive. Checking out the new patch. SPT is a wave-based VR FPS and it just received a major update. See below for the change-list: "New weapons Shotworks: Your very own space pirate shotgun. Really great for close range destruction, also pretty great for medium range scattered shots Ion Grenade Launcher: This is a whole bunch of 4th of July’s rolled into one gun. Shoot once to send out a grenade, and again to detonate The Volton: Brand new second option for the shield, turns into a laser-deflective bat that doubles as a plasma link! Try aiming the blue laser at a droid, pulling the trigger and lassoing that droid around like a space cowboy! All lasers deflected with the plasma-link will be redirected back to the location they were fired from New enemies Scout droid: fires a whole bunch of quick bursts, and then zaps as far away as it can Heavy: The Beta “big gun” - this droid fires *five* lasers simultaneously to ensure anything and everything is obliterated. The blue laser is harder to dodge because of its higher velocity PowerUps After every droid is destroyed there is a chance a PowerUp cubes will spawn, up to a limit of three PowerUps at any one time. When activated by shooting, hitting them with your head or with your shield, a PowerUp will last for ten seconds. PowerUps include: Machine gun - green: Quick machine gun fire if you’ve got your guns out Shield - blue: A temporary bubble surrounds you and no droid fire can break through. Perfect for those tender space pirate times Homing bullets - yellow: Need some help aiming? These guys will do the dirty work for you. Hit the yellow PowerUp and then push the trigger - bullets will find their own way to a droid! A Little Help From My Ship - red-: If you see a red PowerUp, wait til there are plenty of droids, and then activate the upgrade. The skies will rain with missiles! Gravity field - purple: A purple wormhole will open in a random location in the playfield, sucking in any object, droid or otherwise, passing through the local area Gameplay updates -Hardcore mode: Real space pirates do not have time for bullet time -Guns were slightly rebalanced -Wave selection: Start classic or hardcore mode from wave 1, 5, 10 or 15 -Shield swapping aka putting arm behind shoulder more reliable than ever. You probably won’t need the grip button anymore -Super slow down when hit by a droid, making it easier to dodge subsequent hits -Bullet time now degrades as you progress. Super high at wave 2, super super low at wave 30 -Controllers vibrate when swapping between shield and gun -VRSense: Screen subtly flashes when a droid shoots outside of your peripheral vision, perfect for that pesky droid just to your left! -Game stats presented at end of game: waves survived, droids destroyed, longest combo, eyeshots, shots survived, dominant weapon - weapon used for 90% of shots -Gun-specific leaderboards: Your dominant weapon, the one used for more than 90% of shots, will indicate which leaderboard your score gets sent to. All dominant weapons though will also be submitted to 'mixed' -Your position in global leaderboard is now shown for each of the leaderboards -The two lasers, triple shot and automatic fire, have been rolled into one laser -Droids hang out behind you a little less -Now possible to make an eye-shot with the RailGun -Controllers no longer blink all the time" See the full patch notes here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/418650/announcements/detail/839182543823169428 Official game description of Space Pirate Trainer from Steam: "Space Pirate Trainer is the official trainer for wannabe space pirates on the HTC Vive. Remember those awesome classic arcade cabinets? Imagine if those were immersive... Space Pirate Trainer puts you in one of those; fighting off relentless waves of droids with all the weapons and gadgets you would ever need as a Space Pirate. You better dodge some of those incoming lasers though, since just using your shields won't get you in the top rankings. Pick up your blasters, put on your sneakers, and dance your way into the Space Pirate Trainer hall of fame. No real droids where harmed during the creation of this game. Use your straps and stay in your VR area to make sure no humans will be harmed.
