New Level Pattern

Also in 1.6.0 I added in new level pattern called a Bluff! These are a pain to climb up when the match is going really quick! Keep on your toes on this one or you'll get caught up and pulled back:

Scratched Disc!

When a level abruptly ends, it's from a scratched disc! It had always happened in game, but the update now announced to the players that they're getting the shaft:

Added a Discord Server

This one is pretty self descriptive, click to stop on over and have a chat: Steam post image

LASER

Added a laser in version 1.7.0. The laser doesn't hurt anyone, but all CD players have lasers...or else they wouldn't work! Keep running buddies:

Color Blind Mode

In version 1.8.0 I added in Color Blind Mode to help players with differentiating the Bits on the screen. After getting feedback from my pal about it, I implemented it up and he said it helped out a lot, so I'm glad he let me know!

Updated the Windows builds to use DirectInput

After getting feedback from some players about the XInput cap of 4 controllers max in a game, I updated the game with their suggestion to use DirectInput. Sure we lose Steam controller support and Steam Link but I felt it was more important to get more XInput compatible controllers allowable in each match as that'll be most cases.

UI Menu Updates

And most recently, in version 1.8.2 all the menus were updated to have the "B" button go back to the previous screen. Previously, there was a Back button to navigate to in each menu and that took up space, had to be walked to to leave a screen, and wouldn't allow any screen growth for future releases.

That's a lot for a part-time gig! Whew!

Along the way, there's been a lot of bugs fixed, testing done, and feedback given. Everyone has been very helpful with every step, it's been amazing to experience.

There's more of CD-RUN to come, so keep your eyes peeled and keep running!
