Hailing from the Abyss 1.0



Fixes



  • After clearing Stage 4-2, the game no longer stalls on a black screen. Players can now smoothly proceed to the result window without interruption.
  • Corrected the names of Ending Cutscenes for improved clarity.
  • Addressed an issue where selecting "Keep Playing" with the Enter key at interactive locations would inadvertently overlap with the interaction key, leading to unintended transitions to the difficulty selection screen. Added a buffer to prevent additional Enter key recognition when closing the options menu.
  • Implemented a White Effect Disable Option along with a reduction in white effects for a more balanced visual experience.
  • Introduced a Kill Effect Disable Option for players who prefer a cleaner interface.
  • Re-added the calibration feature for enhanced gameplay precision.
  • Resolved the issue where tutorial achievements were not displaying properly.
  • Fixed an issue where dying after re-enabling game over was not functioning correctly.
  • Fixed the Enable and Disable options for game over in the settings menu (they were previously switched).
  • Fixed the dark screen issue after level 4-2.
  • Fixed the pause menu popping up after pressing ESC to close the leaderboard.
  • Fixed being unable to use the mouse wheel on the leaderboard.



Improvements and Additions



  • Changed the “late” state to “normal” and changed the minus values since it was not fair.
  • Text color and size for "Perfect" and "Late" have been changed.
  • Combo hit/miss text animation resized to be smaller and the animations have been adjusted.
  • Kill text animation on the board has been relocated to avoid clashing with the arrows.
  • Numpad Enter can now be used to skip story cutscenes.
  • All cutscenes are now skippable.
  • Added resolution change to the settings.
  • Added sound option through pressing F2 and F3.
  • Added a short extra scene to the game at the end of the game.
