• [Nintendo Switch] 1.0.3.2

• General Changes

  • Added wildcard to the DynamicResolution so that the resolution alterations are ignored after a scene load or checkpoint reset for a total of 4 frames. This will result in a more stable resolution after a scene transition.
  • Improved the Dynamic Resolution to take into account platform overlays being active.
  • Added support to the save file verification to ensure the registered chest order can be updated based on the save file template. This is required in order to ensure parity and to make sure the gem unlock order tracking will function correctly.
  • Added a new tracker in the save file to allow the visualization of the new gems being unlocked in the correct order as they can be found in the levels.
  • Fixed issue where the player was pushed around when interacting with complex, multi collision moving objects.

• HUD and UI

  • Reduced the max contrast and max brightness values (from 3 to 1.35) to reduce configurations that make it 100% impossible to see what’s on screen.
  • Adjusted the Total Playtime (Checkpointed) time to now show a preview of the Best Total Playtime (Checkpointed) instead of the full sum of the entire playtime. 
  • Increased visibility of the player jump aid indicator.
  • Adjusted the level completed gem unlocking to visualize which gems are and were unlocked based on their order in the level.
  • Adjusted the level exit gem unlocking to visualize which gems are and were unlocked based on their order in the level.
  • Adjusted the level selection screen gem visualization to show what gems you are still missing based on their order in the level.
  • Increased the height of the ability unlock tooltip so it’s no longer intersecting with the player while standing on the button.
  • Added equipt button tooltips for the movement abilities to help players understand how the movement ability assignment works and to improve the clarity during the tutorial.
  • Changed the restart option in the pause menu so it restarts the level from the start. This behavior could be achieved by returning to the hub and restarting the level, but this button will allow players to do this faster. (Progress in the level will be lost.)
  • Added a quick retry option in the pause menu which has the behavior of the old restart. It will load the level at the last achieved checkpoint. (Progress beyond that checkpoint will be lost.)
  • Fixed an issue where the hub pause screen stats display was showing the wrong information. The hub pause screen will now show how many total gems you have collected instead of how many you have found in the current level and the total combined checkpointed playtime instead of the current level checkpointed playtime.
  • Added some music and SFX to the splash screens.
  • Fixed the spacing on the pause menu buttons to ensure all languages fit correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where the current level name in the pause menu wouldn’t update when changing the language to and from Chinese.
  • The back button will now also disable erase mode in the play menu. This should make it more intuitive to navigate that menu.

      • Increased the damage output from 4 to 5.

      • Damage will now no longer be dependent on the speed at which you whip the enemies and always apply the full damage.
    • Spikeslam
      • [PERFORMANCE] Removed the collision detection from some of the spawn particle systems.

    • EarthBender
      • [PERFORMANCE] Removed the collision detection from some of the spawn particle systems.
    • Immobilization field
      • Reduced the lifetime of the Immobilization field from 30s to 15s.
      • Added damage to the Immobilization field to make it a more valuable ability for certain loadouts and to allow for interesting shard bomb combos. 1 damage per second.
    • Helicopter
      • Enabled the abort interrupt window. The player can now use the interrupt button to cancel out of the movement ability and drop at the current location.
    • Flamethrower turret

      • Replaced a hidden explosive barrel with a regular barrel to avoid any further work accidents.
      • Moved the rocketeer in the storage area platform slightly forward so he is easier to hit. He also comes running into view now instead of being there from the start to blow you into tiny bits and pieces.
      • Added a dissolve effect on the rock near the power socket to improve player visibility.
      • Tweaked the camera when entering the minecart to improve popup visibility when the player reaches the cart faster than the camera can blend.

      • Fixed camera clipping through the near cliff wall in the orange dungeon when dashing to the bottom of the screen.
      • Fixed the Freeze Cam trigger zones in the void during the orange dungeon section having collision with the deployables, causing a green ghost/blueprint feedback for deployables.

      • Tweaked floor collision in the purple secret room for a nicer movement experience.
      • Removed accidental double checkpoint reset on laser gate causing the gates to be open after checkpoint resetting depending on order of execution/framerate.
      • Fixed a small black frame fade in issue on the final cutscene that opens the laser gate.
      • Fixed a collision issue in the orange trial that forced the player to jump to get on the button that opens the first door when standing on the rock.
      • Fixed an issue where the air vortex tunnel door collider could close a fraction too soon, causing you to get stuck in the air vortex top section depending on your speed moving through the tunnel. This was caused by the trigger zone that’s responsible for closing the door is hugging the door collider. These have now been air gapped by 1.5m. Extra safeties have also been added so the door will re-open if it was closed and the player is still inside the top section. In this case the player can jump back into the air vortex and the door will open allowing the player to exit without having to resort to a checkpoint reset.

Additionally increased the hitbox so you can now both hit the blue power joint and the armor plating, avoiding potential confusion where players think they are damaging the boss they are actually not.
      • The health bar of the boss will now remain visible after destroying all the arms in the second stage until you deliver the final blow. This should make it more obvious that the fight is not quite over when all arms are destroyed.
      • Improved the health strip visualization on the arm weak points.
      • Improved the damage visualization on the arm weak points.
      • Improved the tightness of the boss hazard collisions.
      • Improved one of the camera transitions after defeating the final boss.
    •  Fixes

      • Fixed a camera angle toggle issue after beating the final boss.
      • Improved a camera transition in the tunnel to reduce the amount of visual obstruction towards the player.
      • Fixed an issue where the camera didn’t reset correctly after dying before applying the final blow to the boss.

      • Fixed an issue where you could 1 shot the boss using certain attacks after dying during the final blow stage and replaying the final section of the fight.
      • Turrets will now correctly target the boss weapons during the final stage of the fight.
      • Ensured that turrets can apply the final blow to the boss.
