Since Steam has graciously added a way to categorize achievements, here you are a better way to track which achievement was released when - and hence get better at recognizing which achievements trigger which completion rate! So, Schwarzerblitz gets two split categories: one for

Ten years? TEN YEARS! You've read it right: Schwarzerblitz is now a decade old! Development started in May 2016. Here's a relic of that time, featuring my old defunct laptop too in my Heildeberg room =P The game has gone a long way since that point, reaching the form we all (?) l
Shaz's combo trial became impossible to finish due to a mistake in a configuration file in the last update. This fixes it.
A hard lock was caused by performing Mira's j.K close to the ring's edge after a ring out. The root cause hasn't been removed, but now the game won't hang if this happens again. Also, fixed an unintended Shaz infinite combo that started with a 2T 9P loop. The combo, if you fancy

One of Donner's combos in Donner's second trial ("Impact Cancel Combo #2") advanced the input by one step too much because of a configuration error. It was just a display glitch, the trial could be cleared anyway, but now the visuals will match the input shown.

Song selection wasn't working when Player 2 had selection priority (e.g. vs AI selected with P2 controls). Furthermore, the icons were displayed with the wrong size. This has been fixed Fixed a small memory leak due to a menu not being destroyed after a Free Match was over.
Due to some unintended behavior, pressing the Trigger button while walking forward would automatically make the character run. This made it very difficult to start Trigger Combos with moves that included a forward direction. The behavior has been fixed to remove this. Pressing Fo
During the last update, I changed some of the base functions of the sound effect engine, causing the coin sound effect in the tutorial and Krave's WRYYYY during his grab to go AWOL. This patch fixes the bugs introduced in version 1.5.
Due to having uploaded the wrong file during the last build process, the jukebox and song selection in free match was broken. Now everything should work as intended.
