At long last, here's the big one! There's lots to go through here, but the main big one is the brand new Synth Rush mode! And again all of this is free.
There will still be some more small fixes and stuff to come, but this is about it in terms of full on extra content...at least for now anyway!
ERSATZ v1.2 Patch Notes
---------------------
-SYNTH RUSH- !!NEW MODE!!
-ERSATZ' boss rush mode is called 'Synth Rush'. This unlocks after beating the game for the first time. Choose an unlocked playstyle and challenge any individual boss, or try to take on all of them in a row with no healing!
Leaderboards for all of these are also included.
Choosing an individual boss will have a small bit of descriptive text on the loading screen for more unseen information on the bosses of ERSATZ!
-New achievement 'Like A Boss' has been added
-SECRET MESSAGES-
-Added Messages A, B, C & D to the messages menu. Unlock these by S-Ranking all levels in a type and beating the ALL option in the new Synth Rush mode respectively
-Message 06 has been changed to reveal more about the backstory
-Message 08 has been altered very, very slightly to more accurately put across the intention
-COMPLETION INDICATORS & REWARDS-
-Menu stars now available for all modes. Messages now only "stars" if you unlock the 4 new messages as well
-Stars now appear on title screen below logo for "starring" each mode and getting all messages. Up to 5 total.
-New small cosmetic effect on character viewable in any mode after completing game 100%
-MISC-
-New animations for transitioning from the end of a dash in the air and transitioning in or out of a slide/dash slide
-Small background effect for Main menu, pause screens and game over screens that was accidentally removed added back in
-Extra sound layer for Crysta Bloss looping fixed so on time and works when restarting room. Restarting room also gets rid of boss HUD
-When running normally small particles spawn once a certain speed threshold is met. I have fixed the particle region for these particles when running left
-Journey Mode scarves' colours slightly altered, mostly level 03 colours
-Maybe fixed very occasional crash that happens on Game Overs when mashing button to continue
-Fixed some small issues with leaderboards mostly surrounding Journey Mode
-Assault CEL now turns around when jumping if you are behind it
ERSATZ v1.21 Patch Notes
---------------------
-SYNTH RUSH-
-Fixed Restarting Rush in Synth Rush after a game over when fighting last boss
-Fixed Restarting Rush after clearing a Rush in Synth Rush
-After seeing yourself in a ranked position when selecting bosses, if you backed out that spot would continue to be highlighted like it was your position despite there being no information. Fixed.
-TUTORIAL-
-In the second part of the advanced tutorial, you now face left to start and on respawn for that section. This makes it easier to perform that action
-Respawning in the advanced tutorial now stops input for 15 frames to stop players accidentally bouncing off the shields or into the spikes
-CONTROLS-
-You now have to physically reinput down to slam after slam cancelling with a dash. This means if you are still holding down when you press dash, it won't automatically cancel that dash with another slam
-MISC-
-Fixed starting Respiration on type Beta & Gamma
