Hello hello, everyone!
I am very glad to announce that The Cruciball version v1.1.0 is officially released!
Improved Animated Background Art
All background environments are now fully animated and interactive.
Relish the vastness of the Cosmos with orbiting planets, bask in the majesty of Opulence, survive the volcanic wasteland of the Depths, unravel the mysteries and code of the Nullspace, and ascend through the cloud-covered Hallows.
These new hand-animated backgrounds are a major improvement over the old static AI-generated ones, and I’m extremely happy with how they turned out. Huge thanks to Emily Letkeman for creating the background art.
Minigames
The game now includes ten new minigames. These can appear between Adventure Mode levels if you grab a Minigame Star power-up, or you can select them through certain upgrades.
There are 5 luck minigames and 5 skill minigames; so either gimble gamble gomble or git gud. These minigames are a great source of upgrades and a fun way to break up the tension of survival, so good luck and have fun!
As a bonus in this new update, there are now also two bonus sports minigames that utilize new speed tracking algorithms, so the faster you throw the ball, the faster the in-game ball will be thrown. These are accessible from the main menu, but they will not appear in Adventure Mode.
Thank you, and have fun!
I hope everyone has a great time playing. If you don’t own it yet, feel free to download the free demo and try it out. You can verify and calibrate your setup through the demo before purchasing the full version. Developing The Cruciball has been a joy, and I’m excited for where it’s heading. Looking forward to the future.
