Hey there! So it already has been over a month since we released the demo during Next Fest. Currently, we are in the midst of making our game ready for our big release THIS SUMMER.
In the meantime, we thought you’d enjoy a new version of the demo with some of the improvements we made so far. :) Without any further ado, here are the changes:
Highlights
Plattenboy Level - Upgrade
The Plattenboy got a whole new additional device to explore and tinker with.
Chord Towers Level - Camera Angle
It’s easier now to reach the towers in the back.
Performance Improvements
We were able to boost the FPS by about 3x to 5x on our test system from 2015 (Intel i7 with integrated graphics). So should the game have caused some trouble for your GPU in the past, maybe now is the perfect time to give it another go.
Further Changes and Improvements
Levels
Plattenboy - Got a completely new device to play around with.
Chord Towers - It is easier now to reach the towers in the back.
Organ - Does record more precisely now when a key was pressed.
Sound Bricks are harder to lose inside levels now.
Fixed possible Camera clipping during level transitions.
Train
Loco - When recording, the window will be red and blinking now.
Cassettes
Song Exporter - By default, the UI will hide your username in the file path now.
Song Exporter - The UI got overall simplified by removing unnecessary buttons.
Song Exporter - When done exporting, the computer shows a checkmark now.
Cassette Player - The non-interactable playhead now looks less interactable.
Cassette Editor - The cassette slot now looks more like a slot.
Cassette Editor - The “?” key got replaced with a “ “ key (space).
Untitled Cassettes without a title get the title “Untitled” now.
Titles of Cassettes are perfectly horizontally centered now.
Fixed a possible bug preventing a cassette to not be saved.
Sounds
Landscape - Hovering over the tiles now makes a little sound.
Cassette Box - Got some new latch sounds.
Graphics
Performance Optimisations
Anti-aliasing is optional now. You can find a toggle in the Settings.
MacBooks with a Notch now use the full width of the screen by default.
Menus & UI

Improved text wrapping for Spanish and Portuguese.
Miscellaneous
