My best pilots! The update 1.5 fixes a single bug — that caused the best time to 100k to be not recorded in some circumstances at the end of a combo. This means that it should be now easier to achieve better times!

Please, be the best and do all your work in time!

This bug was reported by player fxture back in July (yeah), so I gotta say I’m sorry it took so long 🙇‍♂️

Back then, I focused on another bug first and got stuck — that one was a doozy. It seems that hopefully that bug was just a hardware problem on the device of the player that reported it — their crank seemed to not dock correctly. The issue was that after docking the crank, the controls did not switch to buttons and the ship remained locked in a wrong position at the top of the screen, as that matches the position of the folded crank. However, if you ever encounter this issue, please let me know!

I returned to check on that bug again after Hello, Playdate folks announced that BKTY is their next Pick of the Week, and randomly found the other bug report in my discord DMs. Oof!

So much for absurdly fully contextualized tiny devlogs! Gamedev is sometimes hard but today it’s just silly. Have a great day and take care, everybody!
