1.11.6 MainMenu Tweaks!

1.11.6 brings forth some fairly minor tweaks to the main menu, now when you launch StarBallMadNess the background image will scale to your native resolution instead of being potentially out of frame. This solves for an out of place looking background. Aside from that when loading levels via the level selector you might have noticed that the cursor remained visible after selecting the desired level, This wasn't intended and has now been fixed. lastly when hitting escape now shows the pause menu & displays a background image, instead of just showing the pause menu. If this isn't as desirable please feel free to comment it can be changed. Level 20 is nearly complete apologies for the silence lately you can expect the release early November. as always happy gaming! :)

1.11.5 MainMenu has arrived! The update brings forth some great new quality of life features that were requested. Theirs now a main menu as the title suggests. ːsteammockingː Along with that arrow keys now function as a movement method, for now you can't disable them, but no worries if you were to hit for instance W & up arrow it will still function as if one key was pressed. No "Double speed" or anything will occur. Also theirs a level display that tells you the level your currently playing, as well as a few other features that will be written in the ChangeLog.

1.10.4 has arrived! Level nineteen is now released, it may still undergo some adjustments though. Aside from that a few more levels have been adjusted to lower the difficulty further. As the difficulty seems high for most players. To ensure those that want the challenge, the plan so far is to release DLC maps that are indented to be fairly difficult. And another that is more mild once the 20th level is complete. Also theirs planned adjustments to the GUI, As always happy gaming :)

1.5.8 Level tweaks and enhancements is now live. This update aims to vastly improve players experience in early stages of StarBallMadNess. Ive come to realize the game starts out very difficult, I understand this could be displeasing quickly. Various changes/tweaks for each map will be listed below.
(No specifics for challenge purpose)
Level = 1
Just before the finish line, the narrow path is now closer to the rotating platform
Lengthened the landing after the small jump. Level = 4
Tweaked the new mini course just before finish line to be a bit wider as it was extremely difficult. Level = 8
Shortened the start jump
slightly decreased the speed for the spinning platforms Level = 14
You can no longer get stuck under the elevator after it goes up if you may decide to role inside the now empty space (PS) the elevator is not suppose to come back down you miss it.. you missed it (:
Level 13 is under some review and thought it may be subject to relatively significant change as always for the better!
The new map is on its way you can access a small teaser by hitting 1 key on your keyboard!

Happy Gaming
