SGDQ has started, don't miss Splasher
Do you know Games Done Quick ?
It's the non-profit organization running two annual events to raise money which profits to Prevent Cancer Fondation and Doctors without Borders.
Their Summer event, SGDQ, just started this week-end and it's huge. It's definitively the most important event for worldwide speedrun fans. What's even more huge is that Splasher is part of the featured games!

In order to celebrate the event, we will run some contests on our social networks with special t-shirts to win!

Got a 1GB update out of nothing ? Don't Panic.
Hey !
Today we found out that the reason why some rare players experimented Steam issues with the game (such as achievements not working, no leaderboards ...) was that some redistributables needed by Steam were missing. These redistributables are mandatory or not depending on your system, but we can't filter so the download have to happen.
- If you encountered the Steam issues, it should be fixed now (and you might have to start a new game because now the game will be properly saved on Steam and properly backup on the Steam Cloud)
- If you did not encountered any issue with the game before, the update will change nothing for you. But don't be sad, it will certainly be useful for another game you'll buy in the future too ...
Cheers :)

SECOND PATCH IS OUT !
Hello there,
We have just updated the game !
Here are the changes to expect with this new patch :
You now have access to a level selector from the Pause menu of the hub. A level is accessible from this menu when it has been finished at least once :
Input icons are now dynamic, they change depending on what you have plugged on your computer.
For example if you play with an official Dualshock 4 :
If you have nothing but a keyboard :
If you have a controller which type is not properly detected, you'll have the Xbox 360 inputs icons by default (as usual).
In the Option panel, you can choose to force WASD keyboard inputs if the system failed to properly setup it for you :
In Time Attack mode, now when you respawn at the very first checkpoint (level entrance), the timer is reset to 00:00:00. So no need to start a new run anymore when you fail from the beginning :)
We removed the Exit button from the Pause menu of the levels. Now Exit is only shown in the pause menu of the Hub.
Enjoy :)
Note : The next patch will come up in a few weeks. It will be focused on very significant performances improvements. Stay tuned.

FIRST PATCH IS OUT !
Hello there,
As some of you already know, we have just updated the game.
Here are the changes to expect with this new patch :
Quicker level exit/restart.
Added a reset shortcut in Time Attack mode.
Fixed some leaderboard access bugs. I won't go into details but if you still having issues for accessing the leaderboards, please do let us know in the forum.
Full controller support for Mac and Linux too (Xbox One, Dualshock 4 and Xbox 360 at least).
The issues that some you encountered with their Xbox One controller should be fixed. Please do let us know if you actually still have issues.
Fixed the "white stripe" issue on Mac.
Fixed a lot of tiny visual glitches.
Fixed the fact that sometimes you were not able to control the menu anymore via keyboard and/or controller after having moved the mouse pointer.
Fixed the appearence of a "useless split" at the beginning of Level 16 in Time Attack mode.
Enjoy :)
