Hello everyone! We appreciate all of your positive support for Blazend! It's hard to believe the game launched over a year ago.
With the new update to 1.0.3, more features and accessibility options have been added. The main focus of my work has been to create a new "very easy" difficulty mode for novice players.
The full list of changes are as follows:
- VERY EASY mode added and difficulties re-balanced (Normal mode is UNTOUCHED)
- When a boss hits 0 HP, all bullets are turned into score items
- End text after the clearing the game adjusted depending on difficulty
- Cheat list has been added to cheats menu that shows you the list of cheats for convenient access (Must beat the game at least once)
- Cheats can now be toggled using the gamepad by button combinations
- Brief descriptions added to video/game options
- New font added for better readability
- And MANY other small fixes...
Here are some images to show off the new font and cheats menu!
FINALLY, I wanted to mention that I had the opportunity to try Blazend on the Steam Deck and I am happy to say that it works without any issues (so far)! While we do not yet have a "Deck Verified" status from Steam, the game gracefully supports the Steam Deck's resolution, and all of the Deck's built-in gamepad inputs as far as I have tested.
That's all for now everyone! Thank you for tuning again for this update, and until next time folks!
