The First EA Update: Visual Polish, Checkpoint Restart & Japanese Localization

Sixth Force · published 10 Jul 2026, 20:23 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi co-op duos!

Our first update after the Early Access release is here.

This patch focuses on making the current prologue clearer, smoother, and easier to play — especially if you get stuck somewhere in the sweet chaos.

What’s new

Visual clarity improvements

We adjusted the depth-of-field effect to better highlight the main action in each scene.

The goal is to make important gameplay moments easier to read while keeping the candy-world atmosphere intact.

Restart from checkpoint

If you get stuck, you can now restart from the latest checkpoint.

This should make it easier to recover from awkward situations without restarting the whole level.

Improved post-level menu

We improved the menu that appears after completing a level.

It should now feel clearer and more useful as you continue through the prologue.

And for the brave co-op teams who make it to the end — we added a little celebration fireworks show. You earned it.

Japanese localization added!

Sixth Force now speaks Japanese!

This is our first version, so we would love your help checking it.

If you play in Japanese, please let us know if everything feels clear, natural, and easy to understand.

Your feedback will help us make the Japanese version sweeter, smoother, and easier to play for future players.

Thank you!

Sixth Force is still in Early Access, and your feedback helps us improve the game step by step.

Thank you for playing the free prologue, testing the game with your Player 2, and helping us make the next chapters better.

May the Sixth Force be with you!

No More Screen Shake on Whip Hits: You asked for it — we removed the screen shake that happened every time you hit something with your Whip. The targets will still feel the impact. Your stomach hopefully won’t. :) As alwa…
