Everlife
Patch Notes: 12.06
But at least the grammar error was fixed.
EDIT: I fixed another little grammar error in the unlock screen. Sorry for any inconvenience of having to update again :/
Patch 1.2.051
New Game Grievance mini-game! Patch 1.2.05
I added a brand new mini-game into Game Grievance! It's a pinball-style game where you use a red paddle to try and hit pegs with the pinball. You win if you can hit them 50 times! (Which will also get you the achievement "Enter your initials":) )
To access it, find the arcade machine titled "Pinball Party" and interact with it, and you will get taken to the game! The same goes for the older mini-game, "Enchanted RPG". (Game Grievance will just reset after play is completed)
Thanks for reading! hope you have fun! :)
EDIT: I had to put out a different build just to address a little error I made. Sorry for any inconvenience
Patch notes: Version 1.2.04
With that said, here are the change(s) in patch 1.2.04.
-Fixed fading on warning widgets if you close them quickly
-Once again attempted to fix a bug involving the Glitchese freezing
At the very least this time, the frequency should be reduced, as I didn't encounter the bug after about 10 full runs of Game Grievance (champion ranks btw 💪), even with extra developer stuff I had enabled. However, I really hope this attempt was finally successful :/
Once again, sorry for the frequent patches, but I just want this game to be the best it can be for you all :).
Thank you for your patience! And thank you for reading!
