We hope youve been enjoying everything in Beatblock so far- heres some more!

New level: ILOVEYOU.vbs

A tricky level showing off the inverse note mechanic, with the track ILOVEYOU.vbs from Aspid Cat! Be careful with your email, or you might open up a nasty surprise [previewyoutube=hqBLTw2SFoE;full][/previewyoutube]

Accessibility options

Weve added options to adjust leniency for side and tap notes, as well as reducing or removing visual effects in levels! Any recorded scores with accessibility options used will have an indicator on the select screen. Weve also added a custom cursor for smoother gameplay, with adjustable display options!

More tweaks

Weve made several adjustments and bugfixes, including:

• A neat new UI displaying more level information. (You can toggle the old one back in settings!)
• Resprite of the inverse note for better readability
• New particles for side note hits
• Editor bugfixes and QoL changes (holds now render in the editor, yay!)
• Engine update from LOVE 11.5 to LOVE 12!
• Many, many other fixes and changes. Too many.

Whats after this?

Well be participating in Steams Rhythm Fest on August 19th, so keep an eye out for that- both for Beatblock and other rhythm games! Go explore! Beyond that, well continue work on the demo and potentially showcase it at a few public events! You can stay updated on that via our Discord and Twitter. Happy beatblocking! ( ^^ )=)
