What's coming in 1.2

Hello Sluggle dub dubs,
As we announced back in June, we're currently working on the next major update for 86. In this update, we're adding a few features focused around keeping track of where you've been and what else there is to see. There's a few small changes too, but we'll reveal those with the patch notes on the day of release.
The Map
The main new feature in 1.2 is the world map! In the Statistics menu you'll find a new button which, when pressed, will bring up a map of the game world. On it, you'll be able to see which rooms you've explored; perfect for working out where to go next!
But that's not all - the map will also be marked with the location of the next suggested room that you should visit. This will always point to a room that leads to a new mechanic you probably won't have learnt yet, and the puzzles in these rooms should be solvable as long as you've understood the mechanics in all the other rooms you've visited so far. Use this whenever you get stuck and need an idea of where to go next.
100% Completion Bonuses
A small reward for those that have seen everything there is to see, there are a couple of extra features for if you want to easily revisit a room you enjoyed or see how everything fits together. These bonuses unlock once you have earned all of the following achievements:

You're Winner
Sonic Sluggle
Explorer
Now you don't
Once you have all of those achievements, whenever you die, you can use the movement controls to move the camera to other rooms. This can be fun if you want to see how certain rooms connect, or to remind yourself how to get to a room you found earlier.
But that's not all: you can also start the game from wherever room you choose! When you restart, hold the Sprint button at the same time you start the run, and you'll start from whatever room the camera was previously on! Useful if you want to challenge yourself to get from one room to another in a certain time.
And sorry, you can't use that feature to improve your best time by starting closer to the goal! If you start anywhere but the initial room, your wins and times won't be recorded.
And more!
We're planning to release version 1.2 on September 3rd, exactly one year after the game was released. As mentioned above, we'll release patch notes on the day, with a complete list of all the changes.
Thanks for reading, and see you next month!

The new update for 86 is available now! This is our biggest update yet, bringing a few new big features as well as a few smaller improvements. We discussed the big changes back in our November update, but here's a recap as well as a list of the other changes in this update!
Sprinting
Sluggle can now sprint! Holding the Sprint button (Left Shift on keyboard, Y on Xbox controller by default) allows you to move at double the speed, which will help you get across large areas where precision isn't needed, and give you more time to solve the more intricate puzzles further away from the starting area. But if you're going for the speedrun achievements, you'll still have to complete the winning run without sprinting at all!
Statistics Screen
You can now find the Statistics button hanging out on the main menu. Hit it to look at how many Sluggles you've led to their deaths, or (a much smaller number) their victory. You can also see your best times with and without sprinting, and how many rooms you've explored in total. It will even show your progress towards the hidden achievements... technically.
Small improvements

Updated puzzles on one of the optional paths to make it impossible to cheese by sprinting
Made the Hide button faded when it doesn't do anything (e.g. immediately after loading the game, before starting any runs)
Added colour to some rocks to make the similar ones stand out more from each other
Shrunk the Loony Code logo on the loading screen
Made the triggers for the hidden achievements a bit more generous
Added a faint flickering border to give the it that "old monitor" feel - This can be turned off by disabling "Border Animation" in the options
Updated the UI scale setting so that you can't make the interface unplayably huge for your screen
Changed the texture for tabs in the options menu, so that it's easier to see which tab is selected
Bug fixes

Changed some tiles that didn't connect properly to others
Fixed some optional rooms to remove unintended and boring solutions
Changed the font in the options slightly to fix some text not fitting on the buttons
Fixed another room that had a random grass tile in some water
If you've made a custom translation, there are also a few new phrases that can be added; check the Text.mbt file in the game folder to see what's new.
That's all for now - be sure to let us know if you find any bugs, and get in touch if there's any features you want to see in future updates!
