Big QoL Update
This took much longer than expected, and more all-nighters than I'd like to admit, but I've been working on a few new features, as well as fixing important bugs!
The 1.1.0 update adds requested features, including a Gallery Menu, a Death Counter (for achievement hunting), and optional rhythm game settings, such as Ghost Tapping, Background Dim, alt-key binds, and more! All changes will be listed below.
Please let me know if you experience any bugs or issues! Quite a lot was worked on, so it's very possible that I may have missed some glaring bugs.
This update has been teased for a while, but some of the fixes were a real pain to solve. Thankfully, I also got some help from a close friend to speed things up, who is now added to the credits as a programming assistant!
Full Combo Bug
Note that the leaderboard will be disabled until you've updated.
One of the bug fixes addressed an issue with Full Comboing tracks, which, surprisingly, required redoing how tracks are generated and how inputs are handled, meaning that old builds are no longer compatible with the updated leaderboard system. This FC bug should hopefully be fixed now, but if you notice any issues, please let me know! This was an especially sneaky bug, and I only noticed it by slowing the game down to 1% speed to see what exactly was going on. Crazy.
Also, if you've previously FC'd a track but it didn't register, the game will now attempt to automatically check and correct those tracks immediately after you've selected your profile in the new update. To see if it worked, you can view the leaderboard for those tracks (it should say "Full Comboed" below the track's title).
