v1.2 Notes
Hats & Customization
Hats are now accessible via the person icon in the pause menu. Hats are collectable throughout the 100 story levels. There are over 30 hats to collects. More will be added as time goes on. Many of the hats were suggested and inspired by friends who have streamed Trap Labs in the past. If you want a hat, you know, you just have to stream the game :P
Billy now has 6 different colors to pick from. You may also notice there is a selector under Billy's name that is disabled. I've added the infrastructure to support additional characters but I have yet to add a new character. Characters like PART and Mei will be playable in a future patch.
Full multi-resolution support
No more black bars! This was a tedious feature to implement but long overdue. It works great on my ultrawide (3440 x 1440). If you have a 4k monitor let me know if it works.
You'll also discover that there's an option for windowed (borderless) full screen. It currently does not work, but will be added before the final v1.2 release.
Arcade Reorganization
Level Up is a lot of fun, but it gets hard real fast. So I've split up the mode into 3 varying difficulty each with their own leaderboard. This way it gives player an easier and quick sense of satisfaction from completion rather than having to go through all 100 levels.
In addition, leaderboard now offers an option to display only score among friends.
Multiplayer Additions
- Players can now spectate other players once the level is complete.
- Multiplayer nickname now hard-binds to Steam. So you can't change your nickname to something obscene. Thanks.
- Level Up mode now keeps track of player scores in multiplayer.
- Multiplayer race and co-op now supports passworded/private sessions.
Story Mode Additions
- Story medal stats can now be accessed by clicking on the medal icon.
- You can now rewatch a cutscene/splash screen by clicking on the movie clip icon beside key levels.
- As mentioned earlier, all hats are collectable through story mode levels. They are place in difficult to reach places. See if you can find them all!
- Many of the story levels has been tweaked for to reduce frustration, especially the more difficult ones.
These are the major additions and changes. There are many small quality-of-life changes and fixes not mentioned. See if you can discover what they are :)
