CD-RUN came out in October 2019. Since then there's been a lot of updates with new content, features and bug fixes! Since releasing CD-RUN, here's a list of changes and additions:

• New Faces
• New Level Pattern
• Scratched Disc!
• Added a Discord Server
• In-match Laser
• Color Blind Mode
• Changed input to utilize DirectInput
• UI updates to the menus

New faces

In version 1.6.0 two new looks were added:

New Level Pattern

Also in 1.6.0 I added in new level pattern called a Bluff! These are a pain to climb up when the match is going really quick! Keep on your toes on this one or you'll get caught up and pulled back:

Scratched Disc!

When a level abruptly ends, it's from a scratched disc! It had always happened in game, but the update now announced to the players that they're getting the shaft: [previewyoutube=GPlMPXHsDZY;leftthumb][/previewyoutube]

Added a Discord Server

This one is pretty self descriptive, click to stop on over and have a chat:

LASER

Added a laser in version 1.7.0. The laser doesn't hurt anyone, but all CD players have lasers...or else they wouldn't work! Keep running buddies:

Color Blind Mode

In version 1.8.0 I added in Color Blind Mode to help players with differentiating the Bits on the screen. After getting feedback from my pal about it, I implemented it up and he said it helped out a lot, so I'm glad he let me know!

Updated the Windows builds to use DirectInput

After getting feedback from some players about the XInput cap of 4 controllers max in a game, I updated the game with their suggestion to use DirectInput. Sure we lose Steam controller support and Steam Link but I felt it was more important to get more XInput compatible controllers allowable in each match as that'll be most cases.

UI Menu Updates

And most recently, in version 1.8.2 all the menus were updated to have the "B" button go back to the previous screen. Previously, there was a Back button to navigate to in each menu and that took up space, had to be walked to to leave a screen, and wouldn't allow any screen growth for future releases.
That's a lot for a part-time gig! Whew! Along the way, there's been a lot of bugs fixed, testing done, and feedback given. Everyone has been very helpful with every step, it's been amazing to experience. There's more of CD-RUN to come, so keep your eyes peeled and keep running!

Stay in the match longer than your opponents while a level builds itself in ways to get you out!

Call your seven best friends or co-workers or family members to join you in this easy to pick up local multiplayer action platformer. You will yell in victory and in angst as you keep up with the speed of the level, avoid or toy with your opponents, and sometimes make foolish mistakes. The bigger the group, the better!

The rules are simple:

• Fall too far behind?
  
• Go too far ahead?
  
• Fall into a pit?

...You're out! Last Bit standing wins!

The CD playing will change it's modes into fast-forward, slow speed, and a few other surprises.

There are three different game types: Round, Score and Distance. Each has their own fun unique type of victory, try them with your group!

Settings can be changed to keep game play interesting and fresh. Options can be updated to turn the volume on the music or sound effects up or down.

Call your friends, have them over, keep up with the level and listen to the laughs and screams as you play together.
