TACTICS, TERROR & TOUCHDOWNS
Dungeon Deathball is a turn-based, tactical death-sport where you desperately try to score touchdowns, outsmart savage beasts and survive a randomly-generated gauntlet of blood, guts and goals.
🏆 Lead your team of captives to freedom!
They've been imprisoned for as long as they can remember. Now their only chance of freedom is to survive a series of barbaric trials for the entertainment of bloodthirsty hordes. Win the game and your team will be released, but be warned: the penalty for failure is death.

Original postHello Switch pilots!
A patch has just been released for Switch 'N' Shoot (version 1.3.5).
As mentioned in the earlier beta notes, this update brings the following changes...
What's new
Fix for blank screen on Linux
A number of Linux users reported a blank screen when starting the game, with audio playing in the background. The game has been rebuilt with a much more recent and stable version of Unity, which brings a bunch of its own fixes over.
I gathered feedback from the beta version of this patch. Several players told me that it fixed the issue for them, whilst others told me it did not.
If you continue to experience this problem after the update, please try the fix in this discussion thread.
D-pad support for Xbox controllers
This patch adds D-pad support for Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers, in addition to the existing analogue stick support.
Since the beta patch, this has also been improved to work correctly on Linux too.
Please let me know if you have any issues with the new version.
Thanks!
Matt
P.S. Check out my upcoming game Dungeon Deathball. It's nearly finished!

Achievement Requirement Changes
The requirements for unlocking two of the 'grindy' achievements have been reduced. This was in response to feedback from several players. Ultrahyperdrive - Hyperdrive 125 times (reduced from 250). Yakety Sacs - Kill 25 Incubators (reduced from 25). These changes were made in the
Original postThe requirements for unlocking two of the 'grindy' achievements have been reduced. This was in response to feedback from several players.
- Ultrahyperdrive - Hyperdrive 125 times (reduced from 250).
- Yakety Sacs - Kill 25 Incubators (reduced from 25).
These changes were made in the Steam back-end and no update is required for the actual game itself.
If you restart Steam you should see the new values take effect. If you had already passed the new thresholds but not the old ones, you should see the achievement(s) unlock automatically when Steam starts.
Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback so far! I'm a solo developer so receiving feedback is super helpful for improving the game, even a few years after it's released! :)
If you have any more points to discuss you can share them...
Thanks!

- Buttons cannot be spammed during transitions when you instigate a level load.
