Breakables Now you can walk around punching, kicking, stomping, and bowling through all of the breakable items in the game. I was reluctant about enabling this capability, but after play testing the game for myself, it's obvious that this was the best choice. Semi-Forced Tutorial
Chinese, Japanese & Korean Languages This update features Chinese, Japanese and Korean Language Support. There's still a little bit of work left to do with the overall localization. For example, we haven't finished making "Achievements" for the game yet, so we'll hold off bef
Language Updates Language support features translations for all cut scene dialogue, tutorial system & menus throughout the game. Added support for the following languages; * Spanish * Brazilian Portuguese * Turkish * Russian * German * Italian * Polish Lights & Shadows Im
Color & Lighting Enhancements I spent some time configuring the game's settings to enhance the color and lighting effects. The game's color was very dull before. Now, the colors appear as they were originally drawn, which is much warmer and overall, just a better visual exper
Tutorial After watching more and more people play the game, I've gathered that the average person just can't figure out how to read instructions. The "How To Play" menu (which previously explained how to use the controls) has now been replaced with a tutorial system which allows
Broadcaster / Voice Announcements Added an announcer voice that broadcasts Sprees. You'll hear a voice say different things for every 10 combos performed. Sprees Fat Kid will only use a left and right punch until the combos begin to stack up. For every 10 combos, you'll unlock ad
Robot Laser The boss in Scene 2 was updated to feature a ranged laser gun weapon that fires laser beams while pursuing the player. This special laser gun attack is in addition to his regular close range melee attack. While making changes to the Robot's missile attacks, the Drones

We are happy to announce that we are working on several translations. So far we got Russian, Spanish, Portuguese/Brazilian, Turkish and Polish. Soon we should additional languages.
Keyboard Configuration Today's update features a new keyboard binding menu. Use the Escape Key to access the regular in-game menu. From there you can find "Controls". Now you can set your basic game controls for the keyboard. Please note, I haven't gotten around to configuring fo
Quality VS Quantity I had previously optimized some of the enemies by down-scaling their animation sprite sheets. I was able to reduce the installation size by 1.2 GB. However, after play testing the game a few times, I started to realize that some of the game's graphics looked k
Knockback Player can now be knocked back by enemies. Each enemy has been configured to deliver a knockback amount suitable for their size and weight. This update was originally only going to affect bosses (since they are bigger than ordinary characters) but I decided to apply thi
Locked Levels Since the game will be publicly available very soon, I thought it would be a good idea to lock the levels. Now, as with most games, you must complete level 1 to unlock level 2 and so on. Leaderboards I setup the leaderboards today for posting your scores on Steam. I
Optimizations By resizing most of the character sprite sheets to 512 pixels (instead of 800) I was able to reduce the size of the build by 1.2 GB. However, the build is still very large, so I will continue optimizing while the game goes into Early Access. What this means to playe
