Thank you very much to everyone checking out the game and jumping into it! We value every piece of feedback very highly and are excited to push out our first (if small) feature-update tied-in with the Week One patch.
Quality of life:
- Casual Mode: We acknowledge that the harsh Game Design of the 1980s, forcing you to play through an entire game in one go, is not exactly up to today's standards. This is why you can now toggle on Casual-Mode both from the Main Menu as well as the Pause Menu to enable Checkpoints throughout the first two games. :)
- Controls-Screen: We have heard all of your requests, and it is finally here: Both from the Main Menu as well as the Pause Menu, you can now look at the Controls for both the Keyboard-Mouse layout as well as the controller layout. A huge thank-you to the users @EnchanterKC and @Yumyum36 for posting control guides to the Steam Reviews and the Community Hub in the meantime. :)
- There are 6 new models for decorative Arcade Machines standing around in the Hub Area, some of which replace former duplicates, and some of which replace faulty models entirely. They are of a much higher quality standard and feature fully hand-painted textures. They are the first public contribution from the newest members of our Development Team. Give it up for Hakon, Lucy and Leo! :D
