Patch 1.0.3 is live, and your questionable public behaviour has finally made it to court. The Courtroom is Ball Scratch Simulator's seventh stage, continuing the story with a brush with the law. A room full of people judging you. An itch with absolutely no respect for the legal system. Try to look innocent. The new level brings new waifu models, new themed cards and a new Chibi to collect. More story, more witnesses, more reasons to keep your hands under control.
The wardrobe and Workshop now support custom arm and leg models, going beyond texture reskins. Creators can change the actual models, opening up more ways to personalise your scratching experience. Subtle leg animations during idle, scratching, sniffing, Pinch and Roll give those creations a little more life, too. And multiplayer now has hats: eight options, or nine if you include the ridiculously expensive one. Apparently the outfit needed a finishing touch.
Higher difficulties now offer stronger scoring rewards to make taking on the extra challenge more worthwhile on the leaderboards:
Crotch Inferno: 3× score, with a 30% multiplier boost.
Forbidden Itch: 1.75× score, with a 15% multiplier boost.
Chibi Challenges: additional point rewards. Other challenge rewards are unchanged.
Star achievements: higher score requirements to match the scoring changes.
These adjustments are based on accumulated play stats. I'll keep an eye on how they perform and may tune them further in future patches. Chibi Challenges have also had a small balance pass, including the removal of some challenges, to refine the system that encourages you to use all your mechanics.
The Caught / Excused screen now shows your global rank, replacing your position among your own high scores. You can see how that performance stacks up against everyone else. Workshop waifu model support is still planned for a future patch.
Steam Trading Cards are on the way, with release planned in the very near future. These are separate from the in-game cards arriving with the Courtroom. More details when they’re live! Thanks for playing, sharing feedback and continuing to encourage this. Let me know how your first day in court goes. Happy Scratching! Tim
