WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 42?

* New Gun: Meteorifle! *

* Optimized Performance! *
   - 99 Guns is now compiled using Game Maker 8.1!
- Loading time has been dramatically decreased!
   - Many image scaling, angling, and drawing effects have been optimized for better performance!

* New Weapons List! *
   - Pressing F1 will now open a newly designed list of guns.
   - Clicking on an entry will display the weapon's specs.

(PvP Deathmatch) Just like Player 1, Player 2's hovering ability will now automatically stop if it detects the player trying to move normally.

(Bullet Hell Mode) The aiming crosshair is no longer visible.

(Boss Rush Mode) The screen will no longer stay blue if the player retries while fighting the final boss.

(Dual Wield Mode) Controls have been edited for less confusion.

(Taser Gun) Can no longer harm Boss 5 with its shield up.

(Master Spark) Firing can no longer be interrupted by releasing the fire button. The laser will continue until it dissipates.

(Strike Beacon) Damage dealt to Boss 6 has been balanced.

So basically you're a guy with one gun in your hand and a forgetton of firearms in your inventory, and there's mouse cursors leaping at you or speeding at you, and you have to shoot them off. Sounds simple, right?

Uh, no. This game is loving brutal. There are LOTS of them (and even more if you play on Swarm) and after a number of killing, all onscreen cursors die and a boss pops up. Still simple, right?

NO.

BOSS 1: CRUISER
A strangely oversized cursor that spawns more regular cursors. Somewhat easy, but it's the start.

BOSS 2: VOLCANO
A big cursor with an extended tip, that moves along the floor and spawns slightly more cursors than Boss 1. Somewhat harder to kill.

BOSS 3: TIMESHIFT
A large cursor with a red outline paintjob. Teleports when offscreen, and slowly falls. Tough.

BOSS 4: TURRETGLASS
This is a loving huge hourglass, with two big cursors as turrets. When turrets are down, will try to cook you with lightning bolts, and this is where the fight gets awesome.

BOSS 5: DESTROYER
A big cursor that can't move, but rotates freely. He will attack you with a barrage of projectles in any part. There's 2 parts to this.

Part 1: Turret Fire
You cannot harm the boss AT ALL. There's T-shaped things all over the floor wals and the ceiling, that power the shield, and when given a command, all shoot at the same time.

Part 2: ENGAGE MURDER MODE
The shields are off, but the boss reached his FULL ARSENAL OF ATTACKS. He will barrage you with molecule shaped bullets, he will try to fry you with lightning, etcetera. HP goes down slowly, will turn to part 1 when his HP is depleted to a certain point, bdsjfbakdsjfbgasuidgf

BOSS 6: VILLAINOUS BSOD
Oh my holy loving stuff you HAVE to get this game just for this boss I swear you kill a loving deathscreen that uses bullets bombs lasers debris and death impulses to kill you holy forget

That's Normal, Juggernaut (more brutal) and Swarm modes.

Using the same OP for three threads in a row yay
