Version 1.0.3 is here! Bug fix and difficulty balancing
Hi there!
Thanks to the feedback we got since release, we update Skybolt Zack today!
We fixed a few bugs concerning achievements: - The "Perfect!" achievement requires to get a Full Combo 1 time, matching the description. - "And the World is saved" no longer unlocks when beating the final boss in route B, and actually unlocks when beating it in route A.
Leaderboards: - Leaderboard shouldn't display in the wrong order anymore.
Difficulty adjustement: - Zack now starts every level with 4 HP instead of 3, making beating levels and training easier. - Destroying enemy increase the range faster than before, helping building up range to combo enemies and making some enemies easier to reach.
We hope these tweaks will help and as always, please send us feedback so we can improve the game further!
We are at EGX Berlin
Skybolt Zack will be available to play in the Rezzed Zone of EGX Berlin from 1st to 3rd of November.
A combination of classic platform design and rhythm gaming systems Skybolt Zack had an overwhelmingly positive reception at the recent EGX London; described by Eurogamer.net as “perfectly tuned”.
And that’s not all - with the success of the game at EGX, we have extended the crowd scored demo challenge to include all those who trial the game at the Station Berlin event introducing a 5th and final tier to the rewards. Ahead of the new tier unlocking, we will also be giving away 5 game codes per day to twitter followers, chosen at random, as soon as Tier 4 has been unlocked* - the sooner it unlocks, the more keys will be handed out!
The demo challenge will now run until 5th November ahead of the full release on Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch on 7th November.
Skybolt Zack; an all new take on high speed, reflex testing, platform action; launching simultaneously for Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC on 7th November priced at $19.99 / £14.99 / €16.79 for PC and $19.199 / £17.99 / €19.99 on Nintendo Switch.
Eurogamer on Skybolt Zack at EGX
We had an amazing time at EGX and hope those who were there had a great time and managed to stop by and play some Skybolt Zack, it was really great to see so many people having fun and thank you for all the feedback!
If you could not be there here is what Euro Gamer thought about the game!
Demo release and crowd scoring contest is on!!! Update: 4th goal reached!
Right before the release, you managed to reach the last goal!!
20 days before the release of the full game, there's a way for you to discover how Skybolt Zack changes platforming rules, and take part in our global crowd scoring campaign to unlock discounts and bonuses before the release!
To unlock those rewards, it's very simple: simply play the 1st level of the demo (right after Tutorial 1), and check this community page from time to time, we'll take care of the rest!
The first goal was a combined score of 10 000 000 points for a 5% discount on Skybolt Zack during the 1st week of release! It's been reached less than 8 hours after the demo was released! Here are the details of how the campaign works:
- We gather all the entries in the leaderboard of the 1st level of the game, level 1-1A. - We add all those entries and will update the total score daily on Steam's community hub - When a goal is reached, players unlock a reward for everyone, not just those who played the demo! - New stretch goals and associated rewards will be revealed as the global score progresses.
See, it works exactly like a crowd funding campaign, except you give points and save money instead of spending it!
Every Steam account can enter one score in the leaderboard, which will be updated every time you improve your score!
Try to aim for the best ranks and add a lot of points and share the news with your friends so they can add theirs too! Every punched evil robot helps!
