We’re getting closer and closer to the launch of Blink and Die Replay, and we want the demo to better represent the experience we’re preparing for the final version.
❤️ Lives Are Now Easier to Find
Lives were already part of the levels, but finding them in the middle of all the chaos wasn’t always easy.
Now, whenever a life appears, an indicator will point toward its approximate location, helping you find it while you keep dodging obstacles to the beat of the music.
🎵 Refreshed Levels
We’ve updated the selection of levels available in the demo.
Two of the previous levels have been replaced, keeping a total of three playable levels while offering a selection that better represents the progression you’ll experience in Blink and Die Replay.
Our goal is to provide a clearer, more gradual learning curve without losing the challenge.
🏆 Local Leaderboards
Can you beat your own high score?
The demo will now save the top five scores for each level.
We’ve also added a new screen where you can check all your high scores. At the end of each run, you’ll also be able to immediately see how your score compares to your previous best attempts.
✨ New UI
We’ve refreshed several parts of the demo’s interface:
New Hub UI.
New pause and settings menus.
New score screen at the end of each level.
New display for your best scores.
🎮 More Ways to Play
Blink and Die Replay is no longer limited to mouse controls.
The demo now includes controller and keyboard support, so you can choose whichever control method feels best for you:
Controller: use either stick to move, the south face button to select, and Start or the east face button to open the pause menu.
Keyboard: move using WASD or the arrow keys.
Mouse: mouse controls remain available as before.
⚙️ Settings and Save Improvements
We’ve also made several improvements to ensure your preferences and progress are saved between sessions.
We fixed the selection and saving of:
Camera sensitivity.
Pointer color.
Music volume.
Sound effects volume.
In addition, the demo now saves your settings and best scores locally.
