Hello all you lovely people! Please take note that our next contest will be happening the first weekend of March! Here are the rules!
- The contest begins at 5pm next Friday (EST).
- The contest ends at Midnight on the following Sunday (EST).
- Whichever player manages to get the HIGHEST BONUS ROUND HEIGHT during this period of time will recieve a FABULOUS PRIZE with NO CASH VALUE!!!
- There will be a new and independant leaderboard set up specifically for this contest, so that everyone can keep track of their progress!
- If you just absolutely have to have the FABULOUS PRIZE, but also don't succeed this time, fear not! This will not be the last contest!
- After the contest is over, I will attempt to reach the winner through Steam, but if I can't get in contact with the winner within a couple days, I will go for the next runner up, etc.
- People who have already received a contest prize are not eligible to receive further prizes! They are still welcome to participate, but I'm going to select the best player who hasn't already won. This keeps it more interesting for everyone!
The winner will get a custom ball skin designed for them by me that will be included in the game for all time!
- This basically means I will draw a picture, put it in the game, and you will be able to play with this picture as the ball.
- The skin will be accessible in-game by means of cheat code from the title screen.
- The picture can be of whatever you like, so long as it's not explicit or overly violent or drug-related, or anything like that. Basically, I reserve the right to say "can you think of something else you'd like maybe?"
- This image will be an image, not an animation.
Before attempting the contest, please make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the game, or else your score probably won't be recorded! Which would be a shame! Speaking of which...
PATCH 3.1 NOTES:
- The current build of the game is set up for the March contest (obviously)
- I have yet again tweaked the shiny sticker drop rate to be just a bit more generous.
- Apparently the "Game Over" music wasn't tied into the sound mixer, and was therefore exempt from the sound control added in the last patch! I fix!
Stuff I'm working on:
- I finally heard from Major_Melon, and his idea for his prize is so cool I'm going to bend the contest rules just a bit, and give it some animation! I haven't decided yet, but I might go all the way with it and make it official! That would mean adding a ball selector to the options... we'll see.
- Keyboard Remapping
- More languages
