Hey folks! The past week or two has seen a lot of new players, following the announcement of v1.0 releasing soon, so a friendly welcome to you all!

Here's an update which fixes some major bugs and improves a bunch of other stuff. Excluding any critical bug fixes, this is probably the last update before v1.0.

Now you can report bugs

This update introduces a link to a new web form which you can use to report bugs (direct link here). If you find any nasty issues please log a bug and I'll do my best to squash it. 🥾

Full Changelist

🆕 Added

• Volume controls for jingles.
• Volume controls for crowd sounds (also affected by overall Sound FX slider).
• Link to Bug Report web form. Use this to let me know if you find any bugs. 🐛
• New app icon.

🔁 Changed

• Clicking on the game window after switching focus to another app will no longer count as a button click. This prevents accidental command inputs during gameplay which can result in fatal mistakes. The screen is also darkened a little when it loses focus.
• Speed Bonus Target is now displayed on the stage start screen and the results screen.
• Improved explanation of the 'Speed Bonus' in How To Play section.
• Improved explanation of S-rank in the rank badge tooltip.
• Survivor Hall of Fame now tracks up to 70 names (almost double previous number).
• Your current game mode and random seed are now displayed on the pause menu.
• The Web Links are now displayed on the pause menu (as well as just on the title screen).
• Gems are repositioned a little so they don't clash with character sprites.
• Gems now animate a little bit.
• The Ball arcs higher when you pass it further, and the shape of the arc has been improved.

🐛 Fixed

• Enemies (especially Redhorns) can no longer attack the empty tile your player started on if you use 'Swap Positions' button when only 1 player is alive.
• Daily Challenge seed is now identical across all regions (fixed a bug where the date was being represented differently depending on your region, then being used to generate different seeds).
• Today's Daily Challenge leader now correctly displays on the title screen (rather than sometimes stating that no one had logged a score today when they had).
• Survivor Hall of Fame list no longer spills off the bottom of the screen.
• The Ball's trail is a little narrower to fit within the sprite size.

I hope you're enjoying Dungeon Deathball! Remember to follow me on itch.io for more updates!

Enjoy!
