We have a special update ready for our international fans! Thanks to the efforts of XSEED Games and their affiliates, you can now enjoy Freedom Planet in Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Korean! - Additional language options are selectable through the Options menu. A language selection menu will also appear at bootup if you have never selected one before. - Screen transitions and fade effects have been color corrected to use true black instead of 8,0,0. This also fixes a visual quirk during the holodragon scene where the borders of the dragon's horn sprites can be seen. - In Adventure mode, Zao's dialog during the schmup sequence will now play properly if you beat Thermal Base and watch all the cutscenes after it without skipping. (Previously he wouldn't speak at all.) - Fixed a glitch in Milla's Adventure Mode that allowed her to jump to Fortune Night after Aqua Tunnel when skipping a specific scene.

Good evening, Chasers! Version 1.21.5 is now live. We would like anyone playing the game on Mac to let us know if you experience crashes if they didn't happen prior to this update. We're using a new pipeline for Mac updates and we're not 100% certain of its stability yet. Cheers!

Patch Notes

ver. 1.21.5 - PS4 Fixes / Tweaks

• Fixed a problem where Milla's Super Shield would sometimes vanish when trying to perform the Super Shield Burst as quickly as possible.
• Milla can now create Phantom Cubes underwater.
• The final boss's first phase now fires sludge missiles at a slower rate.
• The final boss's second phase always begins the fight with the same attack pattern. It returns to being semi-random after the first cycle.

Greenlight is a Go! Clicky the link and go vote to get the sequel to this awesome adventure rolling on Steam! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=861154312 * * SAMPLE VERSION AVAILABLE! * * Use the link below to try out Freedom Planet 2 for yourself! Currently available for PC and Mac. Linux is in the works! http://freedomplanet2.com/demo_win.php Join the heroes of Avalice as they face their greatest challenge yet! An ancient terror has emerged from the depths of the ocean. Merga, a water dragon from Avalice's oldest and deadliest war, has been freed from her crystal prison as a consequence of the Kingdom Stone's destruction. War is imminent once again, but this time, the heroes are split between sides. As friendships are tested, will the girls stand united when Bakunawa rises? Freedom Planet 2 is a sequel to the indie platformer Freedom Planet, currently available for PC/Mac/Linux on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/248310 For 2, we're refining the smooth momentum-based action of the original game and adding new abilities, powerups, stages, and more! Here's our current plans for the full version of the game:

Four Characters!

Four playable characters available from the start, each with their own unique fighting style: Lilac the Dragon Girl (Speed Type), Carol the Wildcat (Brawler Type), Milla the Hound (Explorer Type), and Neera the Frost Knight (Power Type).

• Lilac retains her moves from FP1 but benefits from her new Boost Breaker ability, which allows her to jump out of her Dragon Boost at any time and create a damaging explosion in its wake. She can also use her Rising Slash in the air now, giving her a more traditional double jump.
• Carol has been equipped with a stylish Jump Disc, which she can throw to slice up enemies from a distance. She can also warp straight to the disc for extra punchies! And of course, her motorcycle makes a grand return with a bunch of new, souped-up attacks. She can even throw the bike!
• Milla has been training hard since the first game and she now knows how to fight! Milla can attack enemies up close with punches and kicks, and she can rapid-fire her shield bursts. Unlike the first game where her Phantom Cubes needed to be charged for a second, they now come out instantly with the press of a button. With a cube by her side, she can shoot mini-cubes from a distance or shoot a powerful burst of energy from her palms.
• Neera is a new addition to the playable roster, and she forgoes speed in favor of raw power with her deadly Frost Arts. With her ice staff, she can lay waste to enemies with five different attacks based on what direction you hold when attacking. She can also launch Ice Lassos to instantly freeze minor foes in blocks of ice.

New Features!

• Parry enemy attacks with the new Guard button. With proper timing, this can be used to completely avoid hazards! If timing's not your thing, an Auto Guard item exists in the game that makes your character automatically guard against attacks if possible.
• A new Revival system gives you a better chance at victory! If you're knocked out during a stage, you can choose to spend one of your extra lives on the spot to revive your character. She'll receive temporary invincibility, but she won't recover any life, so once the invincibility wears off, one more hit will knock her down again. This mechanic can give you a chance to clinch victory during a very close boss battle, and during normal gameplay, it can also help you save time without having to return to a previous checkpoint.
• Adventure Mode and Classic Mode make a return with more obvious differences. Adventure mode features proper hub areas for you to explore as well as a world map that allows you to revisit previous stages or buy items from shops. Classic forgoes the story and features a more simplistic stage select screen with quick access to important features.
• A new item system lets you change the rules. You can select two items to bring with you to a stage that will make things easier or more challenging, such as increasing your maximum life, turning all shield crystals into Fire shields, or placing a time limit on the stage. Items that make the game harder will reward you with bonus crystals at the end of the stage. Our Sample Version / demo includes 12 items for you to play around with via the Custom difficulty setting.
• A brand new adventure with voice acted cutscenes from our talented voice cast! Recording for FP2 was done in Studio Okratron in Dallas, Texas resulting in much more consistent quality and volume. You can check out our cast list at freedomplanet2.com!

Hello Chasers! We pushed out a small patch today that will hopefully fix the recent issues with Steam cloud synchronization. Hope it helps! We also have some pretty exciting news: Lilac will be playable in Runbow for the Nintendo Wii U starting this Thursday! If you own a Wii U and a copy of Runbow, you can download her for free! The game itself will also be on sale for a special discount price.

We're ready to unleash the next update that makes some noteworthy graphical improvements and adds an Adventure mode for Milla. Let's see how this goes! If you would like to keep playing the original version of the game with only Lilac and Carol's Adventure modes, select "1.20.4 - Right before the Milla Adventure update" in the BETAS tab. (Right-click Freedom Planet in your Library and select Properties.) The following is a compilation of all of the most significant changes between the last public release and this one. General: - Milla is now available to play in Adventure mode. She has several new cutscenes in addition to an altered ending sequence to accommodate the fact that she's the one fighting Brevon. - Because of Milla being playable in Adventure mode, it now has an identical character selection screen as Classic mode once she has been unlocked. - In Final Dreadnought 3, the stage ends for Milla when she crosses under the tube where the Kingdom Stone was, instead of the right side of the room. This is to accommodate for the cutscene that now takes place here in Adventure mode and will likely result in faster clear times (by less than a second, but still notable). - Milla no longer has to deal with the crosshairs in the red hallway before the final boss. - The required crystals for the Gem Hoarder achievement has been lowered from 7000 to 6000. - The dialog cuts from the Wii U version have been carried over. Only the cutscene break between Relic Maze and Fortune Night is affected, plus one line after Fortune Night. See "Adventure Mode dialog cuts" for details. Tweaks: - Improved the shading on characters and enemies that were lacking it including Mayor Zao, Aqua Tunnel's boss and various enemies. - In Milla's cutscene before Relic Maze, it's no longer possible for her to get a 1up by collecting the crystals she runs over. The crystals still count towards your total crystal count, however. - In the intro cutscene after Brevon says "My turn," the frequency of his blade noises has been reduced a bit. - The player now regenerates life during the Battle Glacier schmup on Easy and Casual. Fixes: - Carol's hitboxes on her attacks would sometimes not register. - In Fortune Night as Carol, pausing the game in the area between defeating the midboss and entering the mall would make the music fade out indefinitely. - In Final Dreadnought 3, the end boss's hitbox would linger after death, meaning that players with a fire shield would repeatedly hear the hit sound if they overlapped the hitbox during the cutscene. - The game could be paused during the score tally in Final Dreadnought 4 as Milla, causing the results screen to glitch out. - Pausing and selecting Next Stage during the cutscene where the heroes talk to Gong in Shang Tu Palace would make the music in Jade Creek fail to load. - Pausing and select Skip Scene in the cutscene where Lilac is being healed in Shang Tu Palace would cause the invincibility music to play in Pangu Lagoon instead of the normal stage theme. - Exiting a stage during Milla's Super Shield Burst would make other characters unable to climb ladders until she was either selected again or the game was restarted. - Death counter on the file select screen has been increased to allow up to four digits instead of two. - Patched up all the holes in the ceiling in Trap Hideout. - In Fortune Night, rolling arches in the first section would sometimes make it impossible for Milla to land on the ground when touched during her hover move. - Dragon Valley's score tally now properly activates if you somehow skip the end boss. Adventure Mode dialog cuts: - The treehouse movie scene has been shortened significantly for Lilac and Carol. (Unessential filler) - The "space cooties" dialog where Lilac explains the origin of dragons has been cut. It now simply jumps to Carol's question about why aliens are interested in Avalice. (Unnecessary exposition since Zao basically says the same stuff later on) - Torque's tent scene now fades out when the girls do their victory animation. (Torque's request to keep their mission a secret never comes into play during the story. The rest is unessential filler) - In the Zao dinner scene, removed Lilac's comment on how Milla and Carol both agree on something for once. (References an event in the story that was cut early in development)

NOTE: This is still Beta Branch exclusive. This is a real Beta. This is up for bug testing, please report bugs responsibly and don't just tell us to fix them. We know! :D To enter the Beta right click on your game in the Games Tab, go to Properties, go to the Betas tab and opt in. The patch will download automatically.

Bugs Fixed

• Achievements would loop indefinitely under certain conditions.
• When playing as Milla, Lilac and Carol's sprites were in the wrong vertical positions during the river scene after Sky Battalion.
• Torque now properly sits down on benches.
• Torque's Continue screen is now functional, albeit without a sprite for him yet.
• Final Dreadnought 3's custscene would play Torque's voice clips regardless of which character was being used.

NOTE: We are aware Jade Creek is bugged with Torque, it shouldn't even be unlocked. Neera is not a Torque boss. This will be corrected in the next patch. Thank you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IF YOU ARE GETTING A LOOPING UNLOCK BUG AT THE END OF ANY STAGE, PRESS THE F2 KEY. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT DATA BUT IT'S EASY TO GET BACK. ALSO CONSIDER BACKING UP YOUR SAVE FILE DATA PRIOR TO USING ANY BETA PATCHES. Torque is in a good enough state to be tested. There are a few caveats of course:

• MP2 was not available for the holidays to port this to Chowdren, so the beta will have to be PC exclusive for now.
• Torque is only playable in Time Attack right now, but he is available from the start. Additionally, a few of his stages are locked out for now since I'm not 100% happy with them yet.
• I'm not sure if save files from the main version of the game will transfer over, but in any case, you should be able to play around with him right away since I unlocked all of his current content in Time Attack.
• Refer to the Known Issues section before reporting bugs.

This build is available through the Beta branch. (Right-click the game in your library, go to Properties -> BETAS, then select "beta" from the dropdown list.)

General

• Torque is added as a playable character. He is available from the start in this beta build but can only be used in Time Attack. When the build is further along, he will be locked until the game has been completed with two characters.
• Placeholders for 8 new Torque-specific achievements have been added. They cannot be acquired yet for the most part.
• The required crystals for the Gem Hoarder achievement has been lowered from 7000 to 6000 in order to make it possible for Torque to clear when he is fully playable.
• The dialog cuts from the Wii U version have been carried over. See "Adventure Mode dialog cuts" for details.
• Begun progress on shading Mayor Zao's sprites.

Milla

• Milla is now available to play in Adventure mode. She has several new cutscenes in addition to an altered ending sequence to accommodate the fact that she's the one fighting Brevon.
• Because of Milla being playable in Adventure mode, it now has an identical character selection screen as Classic mode once she has been unlocked.
• In Final Dreadnought 3, the stage ends for Milla when she crosses under the tube where the Kingdom Stone was, instead of the right side of the room. This is to accommodate for the cutscene that now takes place here in Adventure mode and will likely result in faster clear times (by less than a second, but still notable).
• Milla no longer has to deal with the crosshairs in the red hallway before the final boss.

Carol

• Fixed a bug where Carol's hitboxes on her attacks would sometimes not register.
• Carol's energy meter drains more slowly when using the Wild Kick. (Now 1.25% per frame instead of 1.5%.)
• Carol can now cancel her rolling with a Wild Kick.

Bugfixes

• In Fortune Night as Carol, pausing the game in the area between defeating the midboss and entering the mall would make the music fade out indefinitely.
• In Final Dreadnought 3, the end boss's hitbox would linger after death, meaning that players with a fire shield would repeatedly hear the hit sound if they overlapped the hitbox during the cutscene.
• The game could be paused during the score tally in Final Dreadnought 4 as Milla, causing the results screen to glitch out.
• Pausing and selecting Next Stage during the cutscene where the heroes talk to Gong in Shang Tu Palace would make the music in Jade Creek fail to load.
• Pausing and select Skip Scene in the cutscene where Lilac is being healed in Shang Tu Palace would cause the invincibility music to play in Pangu Lagoon instead of the normal stage theme.

Adventure Mode dialog cuts

• The treehouse movie scene has been shortened significantly for Lilac and Carol. (Unessential filler)
• The "space cooties" dialog where Lilac explains the origin of dragons has been cut. It now simply jumps to Carol's question about why aliens are interested in Avalice. (Unnecessary exposition since Zao basically says the same stuff later on)
• Torque's tent scene now fades out when the girls do their victory animation. (Torque's request to keep their mission a secret never comes into play during the story. The rest is unessential filler)
• In the Zao dinner scene, removed Lilac's comment on how Milla and Carol both agree on something for once. (References an event in the story that was cut early in development)

Known Issues

• Gem Hoarder's description hasn't been updated yet.
• There's a feedback loop on the achievement screen after earning the Boomerang Wrangler achievement.
• Gold Rush, Flame War and Rock Star achievements cannot be acquired yet even if conditions are met.
• Torque does not have a Fortune Night dance or idle gestures.

Freedom Planet DLC is coming soon! We will be releasing our DLC in two batches. The first DLC set includes Milla's Adventure mode and Torque as a playable character, and will be released on PC/Mac/Linux this December. Spade requires additional content and will be released sometime next year. We will try our hardest for a prompt Wii U release for both updates, but we can't be certain about it until it's submitted. Stay classy, and thank you for your continued support and patience! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjM5xsfMgM

http://i.imgur.com/dKMZklN.jpg That's right folks! We've ironed out the bugs, put Brevon out to pasture and called in the Chasers for another run! You can download the game off the e-Shop on October 1, 2015! If you previously downloaded the demo during the Nintendo Indies event, you'll get 15% off the retail price ($14.99)! Thanks everyone for your support, look for us on more consoles in the future. DLC is still in the works and will be provided at a later date for free to all users.

Fixes

• Fix for multi-monitor setups, so you can go fullscreen on other monitors. Uses exclusive mode on the primary display, borderless on others.
• Fix for the controller config, where only the left analog stick was allowed to be set.
• Steam overlay "smear" should no longer show on the black parts of the window.

These are currently only for Windows, but will also be updated for Linux/Mac soon.

Ahoy! We're preparing for another update to the Steam version. It's available in the beta branch at the moment. To access the beta branch, right click the game in your Steam library and select Properties, then select the BETAS tab.

General Fixes

• Platform movements in Thermal Base were choppier than usual, this has been remedied.
• In the Relic Maze cutscene before the truck section, the claw would slowly rotate, this has been adjusted.
• Pause glitch in Trap Hideout fixed.

Linux/Mac

• Black/white screen after "Steam overlay" appears possibly fixed.

Windows

• Switched the graphics runtime to D3D9. Should fix issues with Steam overlay and very old GPUs.

For the first time ever, Freedom Planet is officially supported on Mac and Linux! We extend a warm welcome to all the Apples and Tuxes who've been waiting patiently for a proper port to their OS of choice. As an extra bonus, all three versions of the game have been optimized to run at a smoother framerate and support a larger variety of gamepads. Be sure to reconfigure your controller in the Options menu when the update is complete. Even if the displayed buttons are correct, it may not recognize them until they're redefined. There is a new file in the game folder called gamecontrollerdb.txt which allows us to manually add controller types to Freedom Planet's database and customize them. We will try and update it every now and then as we discover new controllers. Finally, if you want to keep the old PC version of the game, we have created a new Beta branch for the previous version. Right-click the game in your Library and select Properties, select the BETAS tab, and pick 1.20.2 from the dropdown list. Have at it Chasers, and thanks for playing!

Freedom Planet has been Turbocharged! Mac and Linux versions of the game are now available for testing on Steam, as well as an optimized PC version that runs at a silky smooth 60fps more consistently. To try out the new builds, right click the game in your Steam library and select Properties. Click the BETAS tab and choose the Beta branch. The version of the game that's appropriate for your operating system should download automagically. If everything checks out, we'll push all of the new versions live in a few days. Enjoy!

Hello Chasers! We've got a special update ready. Along with the usual fixes and tweaks, the Gallery has received an important upgrade. Check the notes below for details! Changes - You can now open the cards you've collected in the Gallery! Select any card and press A to open it, and it will reveal either a music track, sound effect or character sketch. Press A again to play/view the unlocked content. There are some cards that are "locked" until you complete the game once, to avoid musical spoilers. - A short cutscene has been added to explain how Lilac, Carol and Milla escape from the royal palace. - Added a hidden area to the top of Aqua Tunnel's first map. - Milla's swimming animation has been updated to look less like her running animation. (Thanks to r543 for the base sprites) - Copyright info and credits have been updated. Fixes - (Attempted) Invincibility music playing in cutscenes on rare occasions - In Dragon Valley, collecting a 1up or Invincibility crystal and then traveling to the next map before the 1up/invincibility music ends would result in no music being played on the following map - (Attempted) Relic Maze's boss would rarely keeps its red eyes after recovering from a hit, allowing it to be hit again without destroying the arms - On rare occasions, Stinger Nests in Pangu Lagoon would explode endlessly after being defeated - Pausing and unpausing during the cutscene right after Sky Battalion would cause the camera to pan right - Collecting a 1up in the Final Dreadnought maps, or anywhere the 1up theme is not supposed to play (such as certain boss battles) while the invincibility music is playing would cause the music to play indefinitely - Skipping the ending through the pause menu would bring you back to Final Dreadnought 2 - Dying in a completed save file will no longer cause your death counter to rise - The shadow on Lilac's cursor in the Mahjong minigame was incorrect
