Super High Ball: Pinball Platformer
Best death patch (26/08/22).
It's been a while right?!
I had a player reporting an issue with the Best Death stat as he was trying to complete the whole game deathless.
The best death stat was not updating if the best time was not beaten. My bad, this patch should solve the issue, now these two stats are independent and should be saved as expected.
Thanks to レツ for finding this bug!!

Canon inputs update.
This is a tiny update adding a new setting to the way you can control the canons with the mouse.
Before, you could center the cursor on the canon upon activation, then aim by moving the mouse around it. Or you could pre-aim the canon with your mouse cursor on the screen, and this was still relative to the canon location.
I have added a new setting so you can pre-aim with the cursor on the screen, but this time based on the center of the screen. This means you can pre-aim, and this will not be based on the canon screen-space location, but based on the screen center.
The on-screen aiming had an issue, if the camera was moving upon canon activation, your aiming was changing. With the new setting, the camera or the canon position won't affect your aiming, because it's based on the center of the screen (the center of the screen represent the center of the canon).
You'll have to experiment with the best setting for you.
I have added an on-screen "star" upon canon activation, so you can see roughly the angle at which you are aiming.
Feel free to give me feedback on this as I personally play with a gamepad.
See you soon!

Mouse cursor and Checkpoints fix.
How are you doing? Merry Christmas BTW!
This is a tiny update adding the option to lock or unlock the mouse cursor to the game window. This is mainly useful for those playing in windowed mode or those that have multiple monitors.
I have also patched the checkpoints, they were not working as expected when you were playing the level without checkpoints. This is now fixed, but if you encounter more issues please let me know.
And I have fixed a typo in the pause screen, Volcano and Cliff were swapped. This is fixed.
That's it for now! Thanks for playing, thanks for reporting bugs, and have a great end of the year!

Tiny Update
A quick update to fix an issue with the checkpoint's best times. Using the level quick restart right after a checkpoint was messing up the order the checkpoints were recorded. This is now fixed!
In case you think one of the times in your checkpoint list is looking suspicious, or if you have experienced the bug, you can press Control+R at the beginning of the level (Before pressing starting the level). This will delete all your checkpoint times for this level, allowing you to start fresh.
I have also moved a bit down a hitbox below the flippers, in some cases, the ball was touching it and was being killed for no real reason (unfair!). This adjustment should fix the issue, but if you experience this bug after this update, please let me know.
And that's it for now! Be sure to check your ranking in the new leaderboards (Normal mode, B-Roll mode, and Full-Game mode).
Also, not that I care too much, but you can nominate the game for the Steam Awards, you can choose whatever you want :)
And a little reminder that a positive review on the store page is mega helpful, I would really appreciate it if you take the time to post one <3
Thanks a lot!
Michael.
