Groove Gunner
Global Leaderboards, Practice Mode, and More!
Alongside this we've made substantial UI changes with a more consistent look and feel, better text visibility, and more room for future feature additions.
Global leaderboards have been added allowing you to compare your overall performance with all other players. Your highest score (across all difficulties) on each featured each song is used to determine your position on the leaderboard.
Accuracy and timing stats have been added to the score overview, and a new sound has been added to indicate perfect shots (both timing and accuracy).
With have also made the decision to remove the demo from the Steam store at this time. The additional effort required to maintain the demo build alongside the full game is quite substantial given the frequency of changes to the game in Early Access.
Happy Holidays from the Groove Gunner team!
Target Visibility Improvements
We've also updated the hit scores above the groove meter to provide miss feedback, and added some additional visuals when when a target is hit with perfect timing and accuracy.
