This patch features an exciting update to our game: Battle Planet - Judgement Day is now officially Tilt Five enabled! This means, if you have a Tilt Five, you get to experience our game as a hologram. We are super happy with the result and the way it looks on the Game Board. To celebrate the occasion, we also made a bunch of visual improvements, addressed some outstanding bugs and added suggested features, such as a warning screen for when you leave a planet with remaining XP on it.
Tilt Five Support!
- The game is fully Tilt Five enabled! Connect your Tilt Five glasses and get to experience Battle Planet - Judgement Day as a hologram at home!
- Controller Support
- The game is playable with the Tilt Five Wand Controller, supporting horizontal orientation
- Additionally, your regular gamepads or keyboard & mouse should work just fine too
- Detection Backend
- We want to make using the Tilt Five as easy as possible for you! When you connect your glasses in the main menu, the game will ask you whether to use them or not
- You can enable/disable using the glasses at all times via the options menu
- Switching between Tilt Five & Default Mode is possible in-between planets - you do not have to quit the game or restart your run!
- Unfortunately co-op mode is not supported in Tilt Five due to the need of a second pair of glasses and a second PC.
