First of all, thank you for playing INPUT6! I'm glad many of you found the game fun and intriguing.
Also, thank you very much for feedback! Since the release I worked on this update trying to smooth out any annoyances some of you pointed out, patch any shortcomings in the game's design and of course fix all found bugs. With these game changes I'm trying to make the gameplay a bit less troublesome and easier to understand for new players.
In addition to that, you can now choose between available GAME MODES: you can make the game a bit easier, turn off minigames, explore facility without any danger or make the gameplay a lot more challenging (win to unlock a secret reward).
All additions and changes are listed below.
List of major changes:
- changed location of the starting room on INPUT5
- added GAME MODES (full list with descriptions below)
- added short visual tutorial (before starting the gameplay for the first time)
- added gameplay hints - displayed in the pause menu after losing the game
- slightly adjusted difficulty
- small QOL changes (listed below)
- bugfixes (listed below)
GAME MODES:
- CLASSIC - standard gameplay
- EASY - more time to avoid the robot, slower minigames, completing minigames shows an arrow pointing towards the remote
- CHALLENGE - 5 min time limit, less time to avoid the robot, faster minigames, special reward for finishing the game
- NO MINIGAMES - standard gameplay but with no minigames
- EXPLORATION (unlocked after beating the game at least once) - no time limit, no danger, unlimited FAST-FORWARD
Full list of QOL changes:
