Free Content Update: Richochet Rumble! (and 1.4.2 Patch Notes)

Surprise!
Are you tired of roaming the same dungeon, bashing the same blobs and hitting the same levers? Well good news, this update brings a fresh new stack of rooms, blobs and levers to roam, bash and hit!
To access the "Ricochet Rumble" dungeon, you will need to go to the Challenges menu and have defeated the second boss in the game. This mini dungeon is not connected to the main game and focuses more on puzzles and precision throwing. It also features new art and a new mechanic.
Why this update? Well we were inspired to say Thank You to the Batbarian community for their inspiring gifts! Just in the last few months we've been delighted to see this fantastic and hilarious review by The Hidden Chest!
As well as this great rap song by Whodigya (Warning it contains story spoilers for those who haven't beaten the game.)
Thanks a bunch to you all for keeping the Batbarian world alive :)
SQUEE!
1.4.2 Patch Notes:

New Ricochet Rumble Challenge, unlocked by acquiring the "3 for 1" achievement (defeating the 2nd boss in the main game).
Improved Gallery challenge by displaying higher res versions of posters upon interaction.
On PC, the posters can now also be found in your file system at [game install location]/Batbarian Testament of the Primordials_Data/StreamingAssets/Posters
Reordered the list of challenges in the menu to be in the order they are likely unlocked in the course of playing the main game.
Improved behavior of a specific portal in a late game room.
Limited number of times a repetitively bouncing throwable could continue playing sounds over the top of each other, and fixed a calculation for how the volume of that sound is affected by the player's volume settings.
Fixed a save slot bug that could occur when reloading from a campfire before ever sitting at a campfire.
Removed analytics reporting from the game, and the relevant game setting option to enable it (now that the game has been out for a while our updates are small and infrequent enough that this isn't really needed anymore).

Barbarians and winged companions! Today we're releasing a new mode we've been working on for the last several months, which should be a neat bit of additional content for experienced players! We've added a "Challenges" menu, located on the main menu in game, which contains unique standalone levels to play through. Currently there is a (quite difficult) Boss Rush challenge, unlocked after beating the game with ending A or B, and a Gallery "challenge" in which all the amazing art made by our poster artists for Batbarian can be viewed. The Challenges system allows us to add content to Batbarian without disrupting the flow and balance of the main adventure, so there may be more challenges added in the future as well! Hope you enjoy, we're excited to hear feedback on the challenges ːpuregemː
1.3.0 Patch Notes:

Added new "Challenges" mode accessible from the main menu:

Special levels totally separate from the main game and from any stats specific to save files.
Challenges are unlocked based on achievements progress
Can continue a challenge from an autosave point with the "Continue" button on the Challenges menu.
Lock icon displayed on locked challenges, as well as icons of required achievements (only one of the displayed achievements is required to unlock the challenge)
Checkmark appears next to completed challenges
More challenges may be added in the future.
Added Boss Rush challenge
Added Gallery "challenge"
Translations for text necessary for challenges mode
Fixed a cutscene early in the game where Drai sometimes wouldn't play a walking animation

Hello bats and barbarians!
Today, to coincide with our console releases, we've got a bit of an update for you PC players as well! Most noticeable thing will be a slick new animation that can be viewed on game startup! In addition to that we have a number of adjustments that should make a couple parts of the end game go a bit smoother, as well as a retroactive fix for some people who might have not unlocked some achievements properly.
In other news, Trading Cards, Badges and Emotes are on their way! You'll be able to collect them all as soon as they are reviewed by Steam!
ALSO we are finishing up work on the much-requested French translation on the game, so that will be coming very soon as well!
Hope you're all having a great summer, enjoy!
1.1.18 Patch Notes:

Added an intro animation to the game that plays on startup. Can be skipped in the same manner as other splash screens, by pressing the confirm button.
Volume settings are now applied to the splash screen videos.
Added the credits for the intro animation to the credits screen.
Made the unlocked route after defeating one of the late game bosses more apparent.
Hearts spawned during the final boss should no longer fall into inaccessible places.
Adjusted the flow of the cutscene after defeating the final boss.
Moved a torch that was rendering in front of the player to render behind.
Adjusted a room in Polyandrium.
Fixed Spawn being able to be damaged by magic attacks.
Fixed companion names in inventory UI sometimes not being localized properly.
Fixed a couple benign errors in a couple purchasables.
Fixed "Invert" and "Calibrate" text being translated incorrectly in the controller calibration window in some languages.
Check chests, satchel, and gems achievements upon loading a save and opening the inventory, to retroactively fix for people who had an api error unlocking them.

Hey all, we've got another update for Batbarian today! Biggest thing people might be happy to see is a buff to how quickly Awareness scales some of the properties it affects :) Full patch notes can be found below!
1.1.14 Patch Notes:

Buffed the rate at which Awareness affects player stun time, recovery invincibility, and health drop rate. (Vision, throw trajectory distance, and general loot drop rate were not changed and still scale at the same rate they did before.)
Fixed enemies sometimes appearing frozen in the Palace.
Fixed Gold amount not popping up on the HUD sometimes when standing on a Purchasable.
Changed color of Ogre Leader dialog text so that it stands out from sprites in the scene more.
Fixed first cutscene looking odd when ambient light assist is enabled.
Removed old Russian subtitle from main menu, to align with Russian storefronts, which display the title in English.
Fixed enemy type swaps that occur in some early game rooms after a point in the story visually popping in too late.
Tweaks on Boss 5 to prevent it from arbitrarily attending to its wounds at odd times.
Added max lifespan duration to thrown items to prevent situations where they could be spawned potentially infinitely.
Tweaked a room in Forgotten Roots to make it harder to cheese.
Fixed secret tiles not disabling their colliders sometimes after being discovered.
Fixed Doppelgangers not using correct collider sizes when resetting to their first form after leaving the room and coming back.
Grammar fixes.

Got another small update today! Biggest change is a fix for the game not opening properly for some people who had enabled Exclusive Fullscreen mode. This change does mean that players who want to use Exclusive Fullscreen mode (as opposed to Borderless Window Fullscreen, the default), will need to re-enable this setting every session for the time being.
1.1.12 Patch Notes:

Prevent launching the game in exclusive fullscreen mode (launch in borderless windowed fullscreen instead, which has always been the default). This was permanently breaking some people's ability to play the game after enabling that setting. People who want to run the game in exclusive fullscreen mode will have to adjust that setting every session for the time being, though it was inconsistent whether it was maintained between sessions anyways.
Fixed publisher splash video not rendering.
Fixed a certain upgrade respawning upon repeat visits to its room.
Improved experience for a late game timing-based platforming puzzle. Adjusted timing, added health refills to allow for more repeat attempts, and removed the need to make a tricky throw after the main puzzle is solved just to unlock a shortcut and way out.
Improved readablity on the intended way to activate a switch in a late game room.
Made spider eye hint indicators in the environment in the late game more visible.
