addedv1.2 NotesHats & Customization Hats are now accessible via the person icon in the pause menu. Hats are collectable throughout the 100 story levels. There are over 30 hats to collects. More will be added as time goes on. Many of the hats were suggested and inspired by friends who have streamed Trap Labs in the past. If you want a hat, you know, you just have to stream the game :P
addedv1.2 NotesBilly now has 6 different colors to pick from. You may also notice there is a selector under Billy's name that is disabled. I've added the infrastructure to support additional characters but I have yet to add a new character. Characters like PART and Mei will be playable in a future patch. Full multi-resolution support No more black bars! This was a tedious feature to implement but long overdue. It works great on my ultrawide (3440 x 1440). If you have a 4k monitor let me know if it works.
addedv1.2 NotesYou'll also discover that there's an option for windowed (borderless) full screen. It currently does not work, but will be added before the final v1.2 release. Arcade Reorganization Level Up is a lot of fun, but it gets hard real fast. So I've split up the mode into 3 varying difficulty each with their own leaderboard. This way it gives player an easier and quick sense of satisfaction from completion rather than having to go through all 100 levels. In addition, leaderboard now offers an option to display only score among friends. Multiplayer Additions
addedv1.2 NotesPlayers can now spectate other players once the level is complete.
changedv1.2 NotesLevel Up mode now keeps track of player scores in multiplayer.
