Hello Everyone! Just a small update to release a few new features, and round up a few bugs -- some of which were released as hot-fixes several weeks ago. As players rack up more and more impressive scores, I thought it would be cool for you to be able to compare the control style you typically use with those of the other players. Classic and Hybrid (single-stick) control styles are the purest and most challenging modes, and as discussed in a previous update, come with some scoring advantages. Now you'll be able to see what control style a given score was achieved with. Next to scores in the global leaderboards you'll see a symbol denoting which control style was used: (C)lassic, (H)ybrid, and (M)odern. Note that this is only computed for new scores going forward, so any current scores are classified as Unknown and won't show a symbol until you beat your previous bests.

New Features

• The Control Style used to achieve a score is now recorded and displayed next to the high score. (C)lassic, (H)ybrid, (M)odern. You have to have played in a particular style most of the time for it to count.
• German translation updates.
• Cleans up old log files when debug logging is disabled.

Issues Addressed

• Ensure friend leaderboards immediately update in-game.
• Adjust thruster sounds for Modern (dual-stick) control style.
• Tune bullet sound effects.
• Fix issue where the top-X scores were shown instead of an empty list when you don't have any friends that play Solaroids (what a shame ːsteamsadː).

Previously Released Patches

• Fix issue with Control Style text in HUDs overlapping when multiple players are choosing their control style at the same time.
• Fix crash on some machines/locales when player stat displays are generated.

Known issues

• Borderless window option is only implemented for Windows right now.
• Disconnecting an external audio device being used by the game will cause a crash/freeze on Linux/OSX.
• Some options and more recent prompts are English only or machine translated right now. If machine translated, they are indicated with an asterisk (*).
