Released v1.0.6
Hello everyone, It's been a minute but we're launching version 1.0.6. It includes some fixes that are long overdue. We've fixed the "lone bat" bug, where sometimes bats wouldn't leave the screen after a round ends, impeding players from completing a pacifist run We've made some balances to the spawn system for Defense Mode, allowing for mod bats to spawn closer to the end of the round. This makes obtaining the "Awkward" achievement more feasible. And that's it! We realize the lone bat bug has been a problem for a while and we're glad to finally be presenting a solution for it.Read full article on Community Announcements (amonjerro)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch Notes v1.0.5
Bug Fixes -Fixed a bug where Sensitivity would be set to 0 in some cases when applying settings, making the crosshair immovable -Fixed a bug where the "Well That's Awkward..." Achievement would not unlock when it should -Fixed a bug where the "Employee of the Month" Achievement would not unlock when it should -Fixed a bug where Mouse Input would not behave as expected. The game should feel much smoother to play when using Mouse & Keyboard Known Issues We're aware of the following bugs at the moment that we hope to address sometime in the near future: -Bats can get rarely stuck on themselves when navigating on the screen, causing them to stay on screen indefinitely. This can impact players trying to unlock the "Proud of You" Achievement. (If this happens, simply quit to the title screen and start another game) -Music when starting a game is quiet, regardless of volume settingsRead full article on Community Announcements (amonjerro)
