Lost Marbles changes
Hey again!
Going to be honest... I wasn't actually planning an update until sometime in December, but a pretty serious bug was discovered with score attack and level rush. Big shout out to "C_Simpson" for indirectly brining this to my attention by showing up on the leaderboard with 70 million xp and exposing the problem... :D Unfortunately I cant let you keep the xp, but I do appreciate it... ;)
The issue is now fixed, and because it was a bit of a rush job due to the seriousness of the bug, I decided to just leave all of the new stuff I had added so far in the game, and make a small update out out if.
So along side the fix, You are getting two new levels, plus a few additional levels are moving from the bonus section to the main time trial list. We also have two new seasonal skins to look forward to (Anniversary and Christmas), so lets get into it!
*Just as a side note, as this update was a little rushed out, some elements of the new content may be slightly unfinished, so bare with me on that one... :)
New Levels
Not all levels listed below are NEW new, but I'll include them anyway, as all of these levels are now found in the main Time Trials level list.
| Stepping Stones | This is the final "new" tutorial level for the game, and as the name suggests, is centred around various different platforms found through out the game. |
| The Scenic Route | The scenic route is an easy level designed to bridge the gap between the tutorial levels, and the starting "Easy" levels. The level is by all accounts VERY easy, so I guess if you enjoy a little more difficulty, try for that Lost medal ;) |
| Bouncy Castle | Not to be confused with the original "Bouncy Castle" legacy level. This is an extended version of the original legacy level, adding a little more to what was once a very short level. Because of this extension, the level can now be found in in the "Hard" section of the main Time Trial levels.As a side note, the original level can now be found in the "Remix" levels, and can be unlocked by finding the hidden gem within the new level. |
| Ramping Up | Formally known as "Ramperino", Ramping up has had a little bit of a makeover, and can now be found in the "Easy" section of the main Time Trial levels. |
| High Jump | Similar to "Ramping Up", this level can now be found in the "Intermediate" levels in the main Time Trial list, moving from its original place as a bonus legacy level. |
On the topic of levels, three levels have been hidden from the main Time Trial level list, and can now be accessed by enabling hidden levels in the gameplay settings menu. There's a number of reasons for this, depending on the level in question, but the bottom line is I do not feel they represent the game as I would like, and so hiding them from new players seems like the smart move. Naturally these can still be played once you enable the setting, and all leaderboards etc, are still operational...
Achievements
A couple of new achievement are also available in this update, listed below.
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Steam post image | Knowledge | With the addition of the final tutorial level, you can now unlock this achievement. Simply find and read all of the tutorial hints in the game... Or just find them, if reading ain't your thing... |
| Steam post image | Rock Hard | I figure there is now enough Hard levels in the game to allow this achievement to be unlocked, so if you have already completed all hard time attack levels, this should unlock on your next Time Trial completion, and if not, well... Get to work! >:) |
| Steam post image | Psychoactive | There was a bug in the previous update when this achievement dropped, making it impossible to unlock through the intended means (although you could still unlock it). This has now been fixed and should unlock as intended... once you figure out how... |
Seasonal Skins
If anyone is interested in collecting the seasonal skins, the 3 year anniversary skin is available right now, but you must hurry, as its going to be gone on the 30th November. As for the Christmas skin, this will run from 11th December until the 5th January, so plenty of time to snag that one when the time comes...
As is usually the case, the skins aren't currently in the game right now, but rest assured once they drop, you will find them in your cosmetics assuming you logged into the game during the time period.
Demo
A few additional notes specific to the demo... Demo players will now have access to the new tutorial level "Stepping Stones". "Gem Hunt" and "Fractured Ice" have been removed from the demo, leaving only "Space Race" a non-tutorial demo level.
Thanks for reading everyone, and I hope you enjoy todays new content! <3
