Fixed an issue where if the marble collected a Snowflake or Bottle Rocket within one second after coming out of the Snowflake or Bottle Rocket mode, they would be vulnerable to lava.
Fixed an issue where collectibles wouldn’t spawn for a duration of time after starting a game.
Fixed an issue with the Robin Egg where if you hadn’t collected any bonus meters, it wouldn’t subtract any meters from your score.
Fixed a couple bugs last week that weren’t mentioned in the patch notes.
All Steam Achievements now work in all game modes.
Forced an aspect ratio of 16:9 to prevent UI elements from becoming distorted.
Updates/Additions
Added the Thunderbolt. Collecting this will cause a storm cloud to travel ahead of the marble, carving the lava path with its lightning. Spawn rate is 15%.
Adjusted collectible spawn rates:
Lava Rocks spawn rate increased from 75% to 85%.
Snowflake spawn rate decreased from 50% to 30%.
Bottle Rocket spawn rate decreased from 25% to 23%.
Robbin Egg spawn rate decreased from 33% to 20%.
New game mode, Firefly:
In this mode, the only cheap lava you can see are the ones lit by your firefly friends circling you.
Snowflakes and Bottle Rockets are disabled in this mode.
Meters gained from traveling (not collectibles) have a multiplier of two. So, without collectibles, if you traveled 100 meters in a normal game mode, you would have traveled 200 meters in this mode.
Added a settings menu.
Music changes:
Music for Meteor Mayhem has been switched out with an alternate track.
Music for Main Menu has been switched out with an alternate track.
New track for Firefly mode.
Performance improvements:
All objects that get spawned at the start of a level now don’t get destroyed and re-instantiated when restarting the level. This will cut down on lag spikes when you restart levels.
Adjusted terrain quality to cut down on render times.
Added a mouse control setting that can be enabled in the settings menu. This is off by default.
Added a control to get more precise movements. Holding the ‘W’ key or the ‘Space’ key will decrease your sensitivity by 50%. Let us know what you think of this new feature and if you think 50% is too high or too low.
Robin Eggs now give/take 500 – 10,000 meters from your score. Previously 100 – 2,000.
Robin Eggs now have a 60% chance of adding meters and a 40% chance of taking meters. Previously 50% - 50%.
Added a special high score screen when you get a new high score.
Added a blizzard animation when the Snowflake power is in use.
Updated the lighting on the main menu.
Developer Notes
