I've added a UI element that displays collected and pending secrets for each playlist so it's easier for players to focus their exploration to a specific set of levels.
Given the number of playlists now and that Green star collectibles don't follow a pattern at all, it's a little bit unfair to expect players to go looking for all the secrets especially towards the end where you're left with 200+ levels to explore for a handful of stars.
Overall, I'm not too happy with the way this system scaled and all the feedback I've received makes a lot of sense. I personally also don't spend a lot of time in games looking for secrets myself, especially when there's so many of them. For legacy reasons, I don't want to remove them now, so I hope this update makes it easier to locate the stars and put the fun back into collecting secrets.
Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Beach X Blink Vol. 1
Welcome to the Oasis 🏖️
Return to the Beach but this time with no gun, only rapid fire fingers 👆👆
A mashup of levels from the Beach Vol. 1, this playlists takes you back to a familiar setting with some twists. Dodge the enemies rushing towards you, punch tough baddies mid-air and dash to close large gaps over the water.
Just like Beach, you have no jump ability, so check your corners and be quick on your feet to evade the onslaught of bullets.
This update brought to you from Tokyo, Japan 🎌 😇 I'll be travelling around for a bit so there won't be many updates this month. I'll be here for any hotfixes that might be required, so let me know if you find any bugs. Hope you like the new levels and I'll see you with another update soon!

Hotfix 48.3
Hello!
Some quick fixes in this update.
New update allows rebinding mouse keys! You can now set any action to either the left, right or middle mouse buttons.
Also, double tapping the back button in-game will quit to main menu automatically. Careful, as this shortcut applies to all game modes!

Hotfix 48.2
Another hotfix!
The leaderboard shortcut used repeatedly would put the options menu in a back button loop. You can now press the shortcut button to quickly exit back to the game from the leaderboard too.
Also the double button sound effect on quitting the level is now fixed.
Mac build also updated!

Hotfix 48.1
Hello Again!
Quick update with some small fixes!
Leaderboard Button is back! You can also set the shortcut in the rebind menu. Access the leaderboard from in-game with a single click!
The fail timer is back too! If you finish the level without clearing out all the enemies or simply get hit or fall off the map, a timer will flash on the top right hand corner of the screen to show you your time.
Missing translation on the Free Cam UI, fixed.
Updated Windows build only, Mac fix to follow later.
Hope you are enjoying the new playlist! Happy weekend!

Update 47
Hello!
Hope you're having a good weekend.
This update replaces the icon-only buttons in the options menu.
Arcade and Continuity mode buttons also have text now so it's a little bit less cryptic than before.
If you find any issues with the new translation texts, please let me know and I'll address them in future updates.

Hotfix 46.4
Update to address issue with leaderboard entries showing yellow stars on all scores.
Continuity mode reset spam is now nerfed. Restarting the level will introduce a penalty which limits the score gained from each action.
I've been prototyping something new over the weekend. Will get back to Blink X Classic EP levels soon!

Hotfix 46.3
Hello!
Some more fixes for the menu and UI as per feedback from the community.
We've got mouse support working now for the mode selection screen. You can also use the mouse wheel now to move between the different modes.
The star rating button now allows you to revoke your vote if you feel especially strong about not leaving a rating.
Menus are now static and no longer follow the the cursor to avoid the awkward movement when browsing with the mouse cursor. Longer menus are split into multiple columns.
The close and back buttons have been swapped in the HUD.
The Blink X Classic playlists are now under the Blink section in the mode select UI.
The nickname input field no longer freezes the menu when you hit ESC to cancel.
Remix Vol. 1X had missing background music which is now fixed.
With the previous improvements in the optimization of the menu, I've reverted the video quality of the thumbnails back to their original size. Hopefully this won't impact the performance too much.
I'm aware that the menu functionality is still lacking in many aspects. The game has a lot more content and features compared to when it first released and not everything is explained clearly. This was all in keeping with the cryptic style of presentation from the original game which doesn't sit well with this game. I want to add tutorials and other text explaining the different modes but I'm currently blocked by localization which I will try to solve next.
Thank you for all the feedback! I'm trying my best to make sure the game is fun and easy to use. Thanks for being patient🙏

Hotfix 46.2
Hello!
The new UI came with some performance issues, most notable when exiting the game to the main menu.
I've applied several optimizations to the menu which fixes the frame drop by a significant amount. There is still a minor hiccup while the video thumbnails load into memory, but the recovery is a lot faster now.
I've been preoccupied with content updates so I didn't get time to address this issue earlier. Clunky menus can really take the fun out of moving between levels. I hope this update makes the experience a bit smoother.
