Pre-Release Update 12: Attack / Defend

* The big new thing added is Attack and Defend 2 player competitive mode where one player takes control of a slow red parrot. The slow red parrot can pop the player's balloons and get points for it. Then every 15 seconds, the roles are reversed. This goes on for a 3 minute game. Depending how well it works, this mode might be the one to get tweaked a lot.

- Added Attack / Defend 2 player competitive mode. *
- Added a restart button in the pause menu to restart.
- Added a quick end to the game over rather than watching the score increase, even if the score increase is already fast.
- Modified text in instruction manual: controls to be simpler to read at a glance.

- Fixed star balloon giving the incorrect player an additional balloon.

The game is only 2 days away from releasing on January 30, 2017

Pre-Release Update 11: More 2 Player Competition



More work continues to make the 2 player competitive modes more fun.

* There is a new 2 player competitive mode where players can bump into one another while sharing the entire screen. Both players go flying so there's more strategy. A player's balloon cannot be popped by another player, but that's what enemies are for. Bump your friends into enemies. The winner has the most points at the end.

- Added a new competitive mode. *
- Added controller rumble to the game over screen with the star sparklers.
- Fixed controller rumble during game over.
- Fixed an issue with the consecutive bonus from the previous update that prevented the balloons from being released.
- Fixed consecutive bonuses from happening in the background of the game over screen.
- Fixed the manual font size.
- Fixed an issue with one of the secrets.
- Modified the background to one of those secrets.
- Modified red balloon achievement to be much easier to achieve.
- Modified excessive particles to destroy themselves if the game drops below 60 fps and has more than 10 particles on screen.

Pre-Release Update 10: New Game Over Screen



- Added a grand game over screen. The amount of stars and timing probably need a bit of work.
- Added touch screen controls for 1 player mode.
- Fixed friends leaderboard glitch when you can press next 10 if you have 10 friends on the leaderboard and it would go nowhere.
- Modified leaderboard scores to align different.

Pre-Release Update 9: 2 Player Competitive



Two player has been split into 3 modes at least for the moment. Cooperative that has both players on the full screen and competitive that has one player confined to their own half of the screen.

Because each player has only one half of the screen, equal amounts of balloons spawn on each side at the same place. It seems only fair they be exact. So for every right parrot there is a left parrot. if they float out of one half of the screen into the next, then the other player can pop that balloon. The level up balloon bonuses are also equal on each side.

At the moment there are no double balloons and there is only one star balloon in the center that appears as usual. It should be a mad dash to get to that all important balloon.

With competitive mode there is survival and timed. Times lasts for 3 minutes and whomever scores the most points wins. If one player plummets they lose points, but respawn. 3 minutes might be too short of a time span. Survival is just that you keep going until both players have plummet.

Here are other things for the update:

- Added a second score statement for two player mode after both pigs are defeated.
- Added cooperative and competitive 2 player modes rather than an ambiguous 2 player mode.
- Added a forgiving 3 seconds of invulnerability for your balloons when one is popped.
- Fixed the version text to be more consistent from computer to computer.
- Fixed an issue where one player using the same controller for two players without getting stuck in the selection screen.
- Fixed the new logo's collision.
- Modified timer to turn red during the last 5 seconds.

Pre-Release Update 8: Tweaks

- Added spacebar as a confirmation key along with enter.
- Added defeat sound.
- Added a new logo.
- Fixed pause music playing over the unlock music.
- Modified music volume to be lower.
- Modified the game so when you play a new game nothing happens until players jump or move.
- Modified 2 player HUD to show the second player's score on the right rather than having both scores back to back.
- Modified player score to be greyed out once a player has been defeated.

Pre-Release Update 7: New Song + Small Fixes

- Added a new song when the game is paused.
- Added Unipig to have a rainbow trail at all times.
- Fixed a crash when purchasing a gift that was in there from the last update.
