I'm thrilled to announce that Dungeon Deathball has graduated from Early Access to full release!

Version 1.0 includes many improvements and new features, so be sure to download the latest update before hitting the deathball pits. Read on below to find out what's new in v1.0...

💾 Updating save data from earlier versions

• If you've been playing recent Early Access versions of the game then your save data and leaderboard scores will carry over to v1.0 automatically.
• If you last played before v0.27.0 (April 2021) then unfortunately your old save data will be incompatible with the latest version. The game will automatically delete your saves and start afresh. Regrettably, there was no way to preserve this old data as the structure of the game code changed too much during development.
• Steam Cloud was enabled recently. If you were playing the game on multiple PCs before 9th October you may need to resolve cloud save conflicts. Steam will prompt you when you start the game.

❤ Thank you

A sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has supported development along the way, whether that was buying the game in Early Access, supporting me on Patreon, leaving reviews, sharing feedback, posting videos, or telling friends about it... It all means the world to me.

As a one-man development team, that is the stuff that keeps me going so.... thank you. 🥰
