This update addresses some community feedback, fixes some bugs, and adds [color=#34f500]TWO NEW STAGES[/color] to the [color=#ffff00]FARM FLASHBACK[/color] Episode.
NOTE: Because of changes to how STAGE SCORES are calculated by the game,
[color=#ffff00]!! ! * * THIS UPDATE RESETS YOUR SAVE DATA * * ! !![/color]
Sorry about that, it can’t be helped.
But hey, [color=#34f500]TWO NEW STAGES[/color], right?
** NEW:
[color=#34f500]+ NEW STAGE: Split Level
+ NEW STAGE: What Goes Up
+ ADDED MAIN MENU[/color]
Players can now quit the game from the main menu instead of having to use the Controller’s Fuji button. Not that they ever want to stop!
[color=#34f500]+ ROASTYTERM v1.0![/color]
ROASTYTERM is your in-game news feed for all things ROASTY BUDS! Access it from the MAIN MENU. Like you already did to be reading this.
** CHANGES:
[color=#ffff00]+ Updated Button Mapping[/color]
Changed the button mapping to match the [color=#00c0ff]ATARI VCS[/color] default of [color=#ffff00]A[/color] for confirm instead of [color=#ffff00]X[/color]. This also changes the mapping for all supported 3rd-party controllers.
[color=#ffff00]+ Slightly lowered the volume of music
+ Tweaked some School of Spice Stages
+ Tweaked some Farm Flashback Stages
+ Added Secrets to STAGE WIN Screen[/color]
Not all Stages have SECRETS, but some do! How many the Player has found is now tracked, and rewarded, on the STAGE WIN Screen.
[color=#ffff00]+ Tweaked Stage Timer font
+ Added Replay to Stage Win[/color]
Added a button for Replaying a Stage even if the Player beats it, in case they want to try for a better Score and/or Grade without returning to the MAIN MENU.
[color=#ffff00]+ Tweaked Fireball hitbox[/color]
Made the Fireball hitbox a little more forgiving.
** FIXES:
[color=#ffff00]+ Area behind menus on the TITLE Screen now darken[/color]
When on the TITLE Screen, the area behind the sliding menus gets darker like it was always supposed to. Whoops!
[color=#ffff00]+ SPIKES work now[/color]
When a Player got hit and switched to the next Bud in line, they could walk on spikes until jumping. That’s fixed now.
[color=#34f500]2 ADDITIONAL STAGES[/color] will be added to the [color=#ffff00]FARM FLASHBACK[/color] Episode before the end of the year, and hopefully with them the Stage music for the first two Episodes. The next Episode, [color=#00c0ff]NITRO FUTURE[/color], will be released in Q1 2025.
Between now and the end of 2024, we’ll be making quality of life improvements and addressing additional community feedback, so if you’d like to give your two cents, visit the [color=#ffff00]ATARI CLUB[/color] Discord’s [color=#00c0ff]#dev-showcase[/color] channel for [color=#ffff00]ROASTY BUDS: SPECIAL BREW[/color] and type some things!
