changedWe decided to update the demo to be closer to the final quality of the full game. There are a lot of bug fixes, UI adjustments, and quality of life improvements. Since it’s too much to count everything, here’s a more general list:
changedUI sound effects levels have been adjusted.
addedController input UI fixes like being able to remove one word at a time instead of clearing all words. No need to redo all your word selection anymore! You can now hold down the B button to clear all.
changedOpen and close boss zones with the left joystick button is now possible.
addedSpeaking of words, they can now be added and replaced regardless of slot size. So if you have a small action word you can instantly replace it with a medium or big word, regardless of MOD/ELE words in the action array.
changedPep ups menu has been improved, not only the UX but also a lot of exploits related to bonus words not equipping correctly or even affecting cooldowns for other words.
