The Demo:

  • First 10 Levels from the Full Game

  • 15 Achievements

  • DEMO Leaderboards & Save Data/Scores Carry Over to Full Game on Purchase - Added leaderboards to the DEMO for all 10 levels and an Overall High Score. These are separate leaderboards from the full game BUT all your saved data, scores, stats and level progression from the demo will be carried over into the full game if you decide to purchase it after trying the demo.

  • Link to Probe Steam Page In Game (Steam Icon) - Added a quick access button to the main menu and end credits that will take you to the Probe full game steam page if you decide you want to buy it while trying the demo.

NOTE: If you are having issues with the XBOX gamepad controller inputs not working as displayed in the settings to the respective buttons you may need to change this option in Probe properties to "Forced Off"

The Update:

  • Hotkeys - Added hotkeys for both keyboard & gamepad to the in level menu selections to help improve the flow of the gameplay. "N" (RB) for Next - "H" (Y) for Home - "R" (B) for Retry (there are icons displaying the hotkeys associated with each action as well)

  • Music - No longer skips songs when retrying a level, the soundtrack keeps playing as intended and loops back to first song when it's over.

  • Leaderboard and Score Improvements - No matter what computer you are playing on your high scores will be downloaded and saved so you know your high score on any computer you play on. Even if you achieve a new high score offline the leaderboard will update your leaderboard scores when back online.

  • Load Screen - Unfortunately downloading 51 leaderboards of data can take a few seconds sometimes so had to add a load screen to the main menu. So far my longest wait time was around 7 or 8 seconds. Levels still have no load time. If you want to bypass the load screen you can go offline and then go back online later in game when you want to update the leaderboards with your scores.

  • Local Saved Data Updates - Local data of level progression is shared with anyone on the same computer but stats and scores are not now. They are saved based on the user. Saved level progression & stats do not carry over from computer to computer, however. Anyone previously playing would have lost progress if I were to change it. Was an oversight and something that should have been done pre-release and will be on future products.

  • LESS false positive malware flags - Some users had reported false positives for malware from the game upon download a while back. This was due to a feature in the game engine I made Probe with (Clickteam Fusion 2.5) that has now been removed from the engine so there should be no more false positive malware flags. Also had the executable file whitelisted by Avast.com just in case and none of my antivirus software is flagging it
