Hey all,
Thank you all for your feedback! I tried to fit as much of your feedback into this update as possible without delaying it any longer. The biggest improvement has been made to the accuracy system, which previously "sucked" 
Tons of other requested improvements have been made to this update, like increasing brightness, adding a "Game Guide", fixing vanishing robots, increasing melee attack rates & much more. Please check out the lengthy version history for all of the details.
I did add in the "Collector" flying robot, which is a "work-in-progress" story robot near the end of the game. It doesn't do much yet, since I moved to address other issues. I hope to get back to it soon!
I also plan on re-evaluating difficulty, now that the new accuracy system is in place. I will likely make the game easier, but I need to find exactly how to do that in a balanced way.

OK, back to work!

Developer of 3079 here -- My game wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for this engine. This engine has done so many great things for me, and knowing it is purely Java based allows it to be completely cross-platform without any extra work. Did I mention it is free? These guys deserve tons of credit. This engine is fast and full of features. It also includes a complete Software Development Kit with terrain editors and all sorts of gizmos. Highly recommend this! In response to other review comments…

@gdevnet Math tutorials are incredibly important and disappointingly underrepresented. This. More!

Which language does this engine use?Java?
Yes, it uses Java.
This engine is the best thing for java game creation.
but still its a bit buggy and the SDK's gui is super slow and buggy.
so I'm using direct LWJGL.
Did you try the RC1 release yet? There's been some major improvements in the SDK, including a big performance boost.
A very short learning curve, stability, cross-plattform and a good performance made the engine my choice.
Not to forget that the community is very active and nearly every question gets a good answer.
I'm excited what they will do next.
Thanks! As for the "next up", the most prevalent milestones would be further improved Android support as well as finally going Stable.
Along with that, we'll be doing a lot of cool new publicity stuff now that I'm done with my education :D
This engine is why I'm going to learn Java instead of C++. It proves to me that AAA Quality graphics, excellent gameplay, good responsiveness, and stability can be had all at once with an interpreted language.
By "good responsiveness" you mean "lag galore", right?
This engine is great -- thanks guys, my 3079 game wouldn't have existed without it :)
Cool, bsd license. I like the sound of that.
