addedWe've been running a closed beta branch for a few weeks to test a new option in the game, the introduction of Continues and while that has been great, we wanted to gather even more feedback from people that might have not played the game yet, so we're running an open Playtest for the next couple of weeks.
addedContinueAfter hearing a lot of your feedback about the game, we decided to introduce a new mechanic into all the games to make it more approachable to different types of players but at the same time avoid disrupting people that play it competitively on the leaderboards.
addedContinueWe made our best effort to keep it simple and as close to an arcade experience as possible, so the new feature works like this:
addedContinueIn all games, instead of automatically losing when you reach a game over condition, you will be prompted with a new option to continue your gameplay session for that specific game. You can continue your game up to 3 times before actually reaching the game over screen.
changedContinueTo maintain a balance on the already existing leaderboards, and still reward your mastery within each game, using a continue will halve your score. This way you can still explore even further into the games and gain more experience, to the point where you probably won't need the continues to get to certain points every time.
changedContinueYou can go to the Options menu and disable Continues if you want to keep playing the games without them.

After hearing a lot of your feedback about the game, we decided to introduce a new mechanic into all the games to make it more approachable to different types of players but at the same time avoid disrupting people that play it competitively on the leaderboards.
We made our best effort to keep it simple and as close to an arcade experience as possible, so the new feature works like this:
In all games, instead of automatically losing when you reach a game over condition, you will be prompted with a new option to continue your gameplay session for that specific game. You can continue your game up to 3 times before actually reaching the game over screen.
This prompt is completely optional, if you choose not to use it, you will be taken to the game over screen, your high score will be saved in the leaderboards, etc... just like how it worked before.
To maintain a balance on the already existing leaderboards, and still reward your mastery within each game, using a continue will halve your score. This way you can still explore even further into the games and gain more experience, to the point where you probably won't need the continues to get to certain points every time.
You can go to the Options menu and disable Continues if you want to keep playing the games without them.
