New Level: Kingdom of Balloons

Level by: tepid Level vfx by: tepid Character sprites and background by: Kamayana Song by: Kurubukko

We've added a new level as part of our collaboration with indie game, Circle of Sparks! Circle of Sparks is a decorative rhythm game by WizDream Games, where you'll be setting up your own room and hanging out with characters in between the songs. In our level, you'll be treating Sophia and Lune as they travel into a virtual reality world.

You can find Kingdom of Balloons in the Basement ward, alongside our other guest patients. You'll need to have cleared level 4-4 to unlock Kingdom of Balloons.

New Minigame: Rhythm Weightlifter

We've added a new minigame! You can find it in the Act 5 Physiotherapy Ward.

Rhythm Weightlifter is an experimental minigame about testing your ability to keep 2 separate rhythms in sync with each other. You can either play solo (with two hands) or play together with a friend in local co-op.

You'll be given barbells with different weights stacked on each end. One side might need to tap quarter notes on the beat, while the other side has to tap sixteenth notes, to keep the weightlifter from dropping the barbell. As the challenges go on, the rhythm combinations will get harder and harder. Also, a twist: there's no music to help you. Good luck with becoming the Rhythm Weightlifting Champion!

Special thanks to DeadlySprinklez for help with making the prototype of Rhythm Weightlifter, thank you to Wopa for all the great Weightlifter in-game art, and thank you to Tempo Lab Games (creators of Bits & Bops) for letting us use their audio latency engine.

Improvements and Fixes

  • 5-X can now be played in 2-Player mode

  • Lucky now wears a new outfit when controlled by Player 2 in 2-Player mode

  • Janitor spawn behavior re-worked. Now, the Janitor can be found in the ward of the level you most recently played.

Level Editor Improvements and Fixes

  • New VFX Preset: Balloons

  • The event inspector panel in the level editor has gone through a major UI overhaul. Most events are now using standardized UI elements to create a more cohesive look and help us add new features more easily. Please let us know if there are any visual or game issues with both new and old levels or something like that.

  • Added "Language" and "Player Mode" conditional support for the following Sound events: Say Ready Get Set Go, Set Beat Sound, Set Beats Per Minute, Set Counting Sound, Set Heart Explode Interval, Set Heart Explode Volume

    Note that events like Play Sound will continue to have their current behavior with conditionals, that is they check for their conditional an amount of time equal to your offset setting before the event occurs.

Thank you for playing!
