Patch Notes 1.2
Bugs
- Fixed an issue where if the marble collected a Snowflake or Bottle Rocket within one second after coming out of the Snowflake or Bottle Rocket mode, they would be vulnerable to lava.
- Fixed an issue where collectibles wouldn’t spawn for a duration of time after starting a game.
- Fixed an issue with the Robin Egg where if you hadn’t collected any bonus meters, it wouldn’t subtract any meters from your score.
- Fixed a couple bugs last week that weren’t mentioned in the patch notes.
- All Steam Achievements now work in all game modes.
- Forced an aspect ratio of 16:9 to prevent UI elements from becoming distorted.
Updates/Additions
- Added the Thunderbolt. Collecting this will cause a storm cloud to travel ahead of the marble, carving the lava path with its lightning. Spawn rate is 15%.
- Adjusted collectible spawn rates:
- Lava Rocks spawn rate increased from 75% to 85%.
- Snowflake spawn rate decreased from 50% to 30%.
- Bottle Rocket spawn rate decreased from 25% to 23%.
- Robbin Egg spawn rate decreased from 33% to 20%.
- New game mode, Firefly:
- In this mode, the only cheap lava you can see are the ones lit by your firefly friends circling you.
- Snowflakes and Bottle Rockets are disabled in this mode.
- Meters gained from traveling (not collectibles) have a multiplier of two. So, without collectibles, if you traveled 100 meters in a normal game mode, you would have traveled 200 meters in this mode.
- Added a settings menu.
- Music changes:
- Music for Meteor Mayhem has been switched out with an alternate track.
- Music for Main Menu has been switched out with an alternate track.
- New track for Firefly mode.
- Performance improvements:
- All objects that get spawned at the start of a level now don’t get destroyed and re-instantiated when restarting the level. This will cut down on lag spikes when you restart levels.
- Adjusted terrain quality to cut down on render times.
- Added a mouse control setting that can be enabled in the settings menu. This is off by default.
- Added a control to get more precise movements. Holding the ‘W’ key or the ‘Space’ key will decrease your sensitivity by 50%. Let us know what you think of this new feature and if you think 50% is too high or too low.
- Robin Eggs now give/take 500 – 10,000 meters from your score. Previously 100 – 2,000.
- Robin Eggs now have a 60% chance of adding meters and a 40% chance of taking meters. Previously 50% - 50%.
- Added a special high score screen when you get a new high score.
- Added a blizzard animation when the Snowflake power is in use.
- Updated the lighting on the main menu.
Developer Notes
- Due to a last minute error with the Lava Shoppe and Marble Skins, its release will be postponed until further notice.
