Variety Update Out NOW!
Variety Update Pt. 1
A long month has passed since the last check-up and a long few months has passed since last update! Here I welcome you to the newest but first part of this update! At the end, I will explain why this is just only part of the update that is yet to be finished, but before that, patch notes!
Quality Changes
- Score Highlight - Score is now highlighted to distinguish it even more in the game.
- Pause & Settings - Settings may be accessed in the Title Screen and in-game with the pause menu (Press esc or press the back button on mobile)
- Settings (In-Depth) - Input switch has been moved into settings with new options for particles and sound effects (More testing needed for even greater usage)
- Touch-pad Size Increase - Increased the size of the aiming touchpad for more precise aiming and added visuals to the touchpad for better understanding.
- *New* Leaderboard - Added naming to the leaderboard for greater player customization and to show off that it was you who got that far (Online and Local names can no longer be repeated)
- Sound Effects - Sound Effects are now riddled throughout the game to enhance your experience
- Title Screen Music - Title screen music has mainly been added to make it less quite when on the menu.
- Probably more than just those but that is all off the top of my head!
Gameplay Changes
- Abilities - Added more to your beginning arsenal for better mobility
- Upgrades - Added an upgrade system to enhance specific stats about your bear
- Progression - Not finished but in order to get upgrades you must unlock DNA points from playing the game
- Bees - More bees have mutated causing a variety of gameplay the longer you play
- Power-Ups - Added a new power-up for greater curing efficiency
- Queen Bee - You'll see ;)
Known Bugs (Fixed in a Patch Coming Soon)
- Crosshair Visual Bug
- Online Ranking doesn't show while playing
- New ability cuts short on android, will release when fixed
Now, onto why I split up the two updates. This is meant to push the most finished part of this update as possible. Without overdoing features or adding even more bugs, we wanted to fix and keep quality at the highest it could be for this update. Due to this, the update has been split into two parts for greater consumption. This adds more features than cosmetics of what was initially meant to be added. Part 2 is meant to have the finalized soundtrack and the rest of the customization that was meant for this update, though this would not have changed for this update, the next set of cosmetics will be paid, but content such as gameplay mechanics and more to come will remain free. Thank you for your support and hopefully you enjoy this new update.
Please let us know of any bugs that you encounter as we are here to provide help the best we can.
