We've been working hard to implement your feedback for our first major update. Players wanted more ways to mess with their friends in the stroller race, so we've added new obstacles that are only activated by players. Keep an eye out for some crates that drop throughout the level. Players also expressed confusion with the shopping list in The Dad Depot, so we've made some adjustments to the required items, and replaced the shopping list text with images of the required items. These are just some of the many changes, fixes, and improvements we've made over the last few weeks since launch.
STROLLER RACE
- Added four player-controlled obstacle events
- Added an arrow to indicate the location of a player’s stroller
- Adjusted placement & difficulty of various obstacles
SHOPPING SPREE
- Replaced shopping list text with images
- Shopping items that have been placed on carts now cannot be grabbed by other players if a player is actively holding the cart
- Added an exclamation point above the player's head when near a shopping item
- Removed “SlowSign” as a required shopping item
- Removed “Propane” as a required shopping item (exploding propane is still active)
- Added “Vacuum” as a required shopping item
- Increased the number of randomized forklifts by 1
- Almost doubled the raising/lowering animation speed of the forklifts
- Slightly increased the wait time before being able to interact with the forklifts after activation
SOUND
- Added new main menu music
- Added sounds for button clicks
GENERAL
- Added early access notice on game startup
- Added functionality to hide mouse cursor outside of menus
- Modified the descriptions in the level select to represent the recommended number of players for each game mode
- Redirected menu “Feedback” to our community Discord server instead of our website
KNOWN BUGS
-
In Shopping Spree, when attempting to return to the main menu from the pause menu, the game no longer detects player inputFIXED - Aspect ratio gets cropped on widescreen monitors
- Video settings menu: “graphics” and “resolution” default values are not accurately reflected in the dropdown menus. (Functionality still works when new options are selected by the player)
- Mouse cursor sometimes stays on screen outside of menus
- Closing the pause menu by pressing the “escape” key instead of clicking the “resume” button can lead to UI overlapping
- Music volume may sometimes fluctuate intermittently
- Stroller Race AI sometimes get stuck
- Victory scenes may not accurately reflect player placement after finishing a round
