  Roof Rage full release and Switch release

  Hello everyone ! Re-sharpen your martial art skills in this retro brawler because it is finally time for the full release on Steam and launch day for Roof Rage on Switch. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/roof-rage-switch/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32757752/c6df48a675c72c393da7aaecb336e3ac5fa4d965.gif I'm Jérémie, you know me as Early Melon, and I've been working on this title for 4 years now, Enrique aka @pentadrangle composed the OST. Back in 2017, we went to BIC festival to show the game for the first time and it surprisingly won 2 awards in Busan, South Korea, excellence in multiplayer and the esport sponsorship prize. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32757752/fb64f3020d6a5ec25ff58f34f99c1ecf591817bf.jpg from left to right, BIC organizer, Enrique and me Few months later, we organized a rewarded tournament at GStar with the sponsor, people loved it, it was a blast ! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32757752/3db69b8c8fbbce2b78ce4aa163454025dbfbea81.png Exhilaration passed, I worked hard on the netcode, start beta testing, balancing, releasing the game on Early Access, adding content, polishing the UI and porting it to the Switch. I realised how difficult it was to actually finish a game. As you probably know, the game now has 13 unique characters, a solo mode (arcade) where you can unlock the boss character, local match including stock, team, score and practice mode. It has online 1vs1 on Steam, and it's important to know that online will come later in a patch on Switch as I'm working on implementing Nintendo Nex Online Library. It is more difficult than Steam, so bare with me, I will have to work a bit longer because development time is slow on console. I want to thanks all of you a lot, for helping me finishing the game, thanks to all the people on Discord who helped others when I was not there. Managing the community became overwhelming and I got lost in tasks at some point. Thank you !

  Arcade Update, an unlockable Boss journey.

  Finally, it is out... the arcade mode. I'm excited to see this out, there is a lot of new things. The Arcade update adds an unlockable boss, by successfully winning the arcade mode on normal or hard difficulty without a loss. This update also include achievements, new portraits made by @the_esparon, and gameplay balance. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/910198013938812623/C1873C093925BC0505FC36FECDFB8D8A3ADB5F7B/ New sprites for all yeah ! The update also include new tracks for the Pao's stage and Yamaha's stage still made by @pentadrangle https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/910198013938904704/37EDC9DB0DF470FB43ECB7E5BFD168C91C8159CD/ There are 14 achievements, one for each character to win the arcade mode, and one to unlock the boss. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/910198013938885081/4D404A47639AE7979DD68E98CD75939282E9682D/ Balance or gameplay notes : - First thing you will notice is how fast the character goes when falling. I increased a lot the limit of the falling speed because the game was too floaty. Now character will be back on ground faster. - To even go further, I increased the power of the down button when falling. The animation is now a dive and this can be used to avoid aerial attacks. - New way of loading maps, using less texture memory, - Fixed a couple of crashes, stability fixes - Fixed some fullscreen resolutions issues. - Added an option to show FPS - Added Switch Joycon & pro controller auto-mapping - Hide the mouse icon when not moving for 3 seconds. - New typo for text here and there - Fixed line glitches on many stages
