V23 - Housekeeping update

Added an OLED button in video options that allows you to turn the greyish background off and make it true black (requested)
Improved ammo pickup slightly, now when its really close itll zip towards you and be collected. I would see people in videos playing and being frustrated when they flew past an ammo and didnt get it (not fun).
Resolved the broken Full Steam Leaderboards button
Resolved crash on exit on Mac
Now fully working on Linux (sorry about that)
Full Steamdeck support confirmed
Proper Cloud saving Cross-Platform Win/Mac/Lin (visual and certain options will not sync, but progress and scores)
Updated store page and features where appropriate
Changed share button to now copy message/score to clipboard so you can use it anywhere instead of opening up a direct link to Twitter
Decreased install size
Updated the Unity backend
Migrating save files (copying not deleting so old one is still there if something goes wrong) from old versions to new save location to be consistent with all my games.
Removed additional exit menu and videos.
Added unified Update text and "More Games By" panel on main menu that will be in all my games going forward. If you click the panel it will open to the games page and then won't suggest that game again on this installation. Also allows me to push update text without a full game update in case of urgent issues.
Probably other minor fixes I forgot (sorry)
Hotfix 2025-03-15 - V21 Resolved Simplified Chinese text not appearing correctly on SteamOS + Linux
Hotfix 2025-03-16 - V23 Pushed improvements to various translations (still not perfect I know)
Thanks yall, let me know if I missed anything or you hit problems :)

Bit Blaster XL - V3.20

Added support for Russian, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese languages. (not perfect, but getting better thanks to our community)
Player bomb no longer destroys power ups or pickups. It also will correctly reward you ammo for enemies it destroys.
Resolved some issues with Vibrations, and the Vibrate button correctly working.
Resolved some issues with the Video Resolution menu where the player would have to sometimes hit the left or right a number of times to get the next value.
Mac Version should now always properly open in the Full screen with no Menu Bar below by default.
Resolved some graphical glitches related to Ultra-wide monitors.
Modified the Thanks system to display all my games on Steam as well as be more streamlined and take up less space. (thanks)
Screen shake issues have been resolved on screens that aren't 60 HZ
Bounce bullets have had another very minor color change as well as a pulse of green showing they are your bullets
The pause menu now slows music down gradually, as well as when resuming there is a minor delay as the music and game play speeds back up, allowing you a moment to remember where you were.
Reworked my saving data system to use less resources as well as hiding the frame rate hitch with a brief full screen loading transition.
Resolved a few problems related to screen refresh rate and delta time incorrectly displaying objects as a result.
Enemy 04 trail system fixed no longer glitching out to be really long.
Modified some Dpad and joystick sensitivity to try and help those with bad joysticks getting the always down problem.
Upgraded engine to Latest Unity Version
Not really related to the game but totally related to the game, my new custom Bit Blaster XL Vans shoes arrived today, just in time to embarrass my friends and family ;)

-Updated to newest Unity Engine Version to hopefully resolve some game closing incorrectly errors
-Developer page is now correctly linked in the thanks page
