We have just released a new hotfix (v1.3) for Horace which will fix some bugs that have been fed back from the community and improve the overall balance of the game.Thanks again for your support and we hope you continue to enjoy Horace.
Hotfix Patch Notes (v1.3)
* Improvements to Repo Yard rooms to make it easier for player to jump using the Shoes.
* Fixed bug when entering the tunnel in Mainton resulted in the player being stuck on a black screen and unable to progress.
* Made the receiver for the experimental battery in the Robot Labs grab the battery more quickly.
* Fix for the player sometimes falling off the ends of conveyor belts if running fast around them.
* Fix for softlock bug in Robot Labs Elevator. Player should no longer be able to enter the area behind the sparks until they have the correct ability to do so. Also added a fix so that if the player has managed to get stuck on the wrong side of the sparks they will be teleported to a valid position on reloading their save game.
* Fix for player getting stuck falling forever if they resume a save game battling the Security Robot in the TV Studio.
* Sound levels have been adjusted across the game so that music, sound effects and cut scene volumes should now be more evenly balanced.
* It is now possible to abort the Rhythm King arcade game.
* On resuming a save game, if the player has any shield orbs they will initially be activated. Shields can be toggled on and off using the Y button.
* Several boss encounters have been adjusted to include extra restart points or have slightly modified attack patterns to help rebalance some of the more frustrating difficulty peaks noticed by the developers whilst watching other people playing the game.
* Additional shield pickups have been added in some rooms to provide help to the player (if wanted!) on some of the trickier platforming sections.
* Fix the the parcel stamping job sometimes getting unsynchronised and causing progress banners to appear at incorrect times.
* Fix for game freezing on a black screen when loading a saved game from one of the flying dream sequences.
* Support for additional buttons input on some joypads (e.g. PS4) when using the redefine joypad inputs menu.
* There are now some switches in East Gallery Ground Floor which allow the player to turn off the lasers temporarily so they can pass through the room from left to right, which can be useful after beating some of the mansion bosses.
* Lots of other little tweaks and fixes to minor gameplay and graphical issues that have been reported.
