Turnament

Endless Mode Fix


  • Fixed softlock that occurred when hitting the last crystal of a level and an enemy at the same time in Endless mode (thanks Slinkinum).

Controller Fixes

Three smaller fixes for improved controller support:


  • Fix cutscene easter egg being played when clicking buttons and cursor was in place of the portraits
  • Fix position/target selection not working on controller in level editor
  • Fix menu not working after dying twice in challenge mode


Thanks for playing Turnament!

Cutscene Fix


  • Fixed transportation animation appearing in cutscenes where it didn't make any sense (thanks to NikSynaly and his brother)

Repair Seeker Fix


  • Fixed a bug where repair seekers would still be able to use their abilities after the first repair seeker already used all of the remaining energy (thanks Marut).
  • Adjusted credits you get from player levels (thanks Djigallag).

Improved build size

Another list of small updates:


  • Changed compression of all music from PCM to Vorbis, which reduces file sizes by about 90% and has basically no loss in audio quality. Build size has been reduced by roughly 450MB.
  • Restart in challenge mode restarts current level now
  • Circles around seekers now get disposed of properly after the animation is done
  • Slowdown occurs more accurately now when a collision is being detected and game speed resets quicker
  • Added a red collision warning icon
  • Removed Catty & Batty sprites & scripts from project
  • New ambient sound in cutscenes now fades out better when switching scenes (to avoid clicking noise)

Updates will probably slow down soon, but we shall see!

General Fixes and Small additions

Here's another round of fixes and small additions:


  • Added signal sound to cutscene 22 (thanks Djigallag)
  • Planet transitions in cutscenes now have a small effect (thanks Djigallag)
  • Cutscenes now have a low ambient noise in the background (thanks Djigallag)
  • You can now use L2/R2 or LT/RT or G/H to decrease/increase gamespeed in-game
  • Using the "turn cross" ability you can also turn them off now if all squares are turned already (thanks Djigallag)
  • Adjusted level 10 so you don't get hit by a drone immediately after loading the level
  • Added restart button instead of "return to title" button in campaign and challenge mode levels (thanks Darrn)
  • You can now leave some menus with SPACE (thanks Darrn)
  • Clicking on slider arrows left or right is now a bit better (i.e. Audio volume)
  • When checking controller glyphs, the example display is now forced to show controller icons (thanks Darrn)
  • Mouse cursor now gets hidden when playing with controller or keyboard
