workshop support most likely will not happen, sorry :(
any sick ideas for power-ups that i can steal in the meantime? ;)
Maybe one that that repels nearby enemies in a blast-like manner or for a period of time, I've noticed that I often die it's because I'm surrounded by enemies so it might be a separate mechanic you use at any time by pressing a certain key/button (I've played on both Keyboard and mouse and controller and I think controller is better (My wrists hurt less)) kind like how the shield is a power-up bit it's a separate mechanic.
Also unrelated to powerups, is there any chance you could add 360 degree firing for controller. If you're not up to that because it would be an unfair advantage, you could always make a separate leaderboard for controller runs. You don't have to accept any of these ideas, just thigns I've thought about while playing.
