Tonight's update is parrots! Yes, parrots. What use is a pirate without a parrot for back up? How about 15 parrots? These guys will home in on your enemies and take 'em out. They're not an easy power-up to get, so you better feel lucky if you find them!
These guys'll chase the others even when they're dead! (These parrots are not of the intelligent variety.)
On the slightly more technical side, the parrots use a homing attack script designed to allow for a period of homing missile behaviour followed by a period of dumb missile behaviour (i.e. just going straight). Both behaviours can have specific duration and speeds. So, for example, a parrot could be chasing you at slow speed, homing in, then after 5 seconds it will launch straight at you at high speed! The script was modified today to allow for the parrots to look at their target instead of being stuck looking in one direction.
