Switch 'N' Shoot

Update 1.3.2

Version 1.3.2 is now available. The main change is to address problems that could arise if you switched between Full-Screen modes using Mac OS's maximise button or Alt+Enter.

Changes:

  • Bug fix: switching full-screen mode using the main OS buttons or Alt+Enter no longer causes problems with the interface. The game will now automatically detect changes made outside the Options menu and adjust accordingly.
  • Added consolation credit hotkeys for Arcade version.
  • Added "ASS" to the list of naughty names (oops).

Singled Out now available!

Coming soon: Ghost Grab 3000

Update 1.3 adds new languages (简体中文, 日本語, русский, Português Brasileiro) and more!



Version 1.3.1 is now live!



This brings all the new changes over from the recent Nintendo Switch release, plus some newer tweaks and bug fixes.



Here's the full list of changes:

Changes:


  • Added language support for Simplified Chinese (简体中文).
  • Added language support for Japanese (日本語).
  • Added language support for Russian (русский).
  • Added language support for Brazilian Portuguese (Português Brasileiro).
  • Added colour palette unlock system (based on the furthest Sector you have reached).
  • Added 7 new colour palettes to unlock, with 8 presets per palette.
  • Palette swap menu overhauled.
  • Player ship colour changes if you set the background to the same colour (and vice versa) so you can't accidentally hide the ship and menu text.
  • Added more options for random name generator.
  • Gameplay pop-up text is now positioned near the area of focus (e.g. "Power-up!" text is positioned above where you caught the power-up).
  • Added icon to go straight to Extras menu from 'game over' screen.
  • Stat values are now capped (at ridiculously large values) to avoid save file issues on Switch.
  • Added an option to disable the 'arcade cabinet' border artwork.
  • Added sound effect and visual warnings when laser walls and bosses appear.
  • Added sound effect when 'Back' is pressed in menus.
  • Added sound effect when power-ups appear.
  • Added sound effect when shield-dropper alien appears.
  • Application is now built for 64-bit OS.
  • TATE Mode now supports both portrait orientations.
  • Added developer links on shutdown.
  • Web links are now opened in the Steam Overlay.


Bug fixes:


  • Certain elements now display at the right orientation in TATE Mode (stars, screen shake and screen-wipe).
  • Final score text no longer sits too high up.
  • A default icon is now automatically highlighted in all menus.
  • Buttons cannot be spammed during transitions when you instigate a level load.
  • The correct icon is now selected when you press 'down' from the 'Back' icon in the Extras menu.
  • You can now skip the leaderboard display animation again, to speed up game restart (this was added, then broke).
  • 'Quit' button now works correctly again.
  • Audio with randomised pitch no longer interferes with audio with fixed pitch.
  • Keyboard/controller menu input no longer breaks if you deselect all icons with the mouse.
  • Game window now fits correctly on super-widescreen displays.
  • Fixed some text not being localised in certain languages.
  • Remapping the 'Quit' button now works properly.

An update is coming...

Version 1.3 is hitting Steam very soon!



New features include:

  • new colour palette unlock system (with 7 all-new retro colour palettes to choose from).
  • language support for Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese.
  • many more little improvements and bug fixes.


Please remember to leave a review. I'd love to get the review count up to 50 so the game rating changes from "Positive" to "Very Positive"! That would really help to get more people playing!

Thanks! Watch this space and follow my Steam Developer page for more updates.
