Hey Spinners,

Small hotfix out today, we're actually working on a bigger update coming in 1 week (aiming for Friday 8 Nov Australian Eastern - probably 7th in some parts of the US)

This will include 3 new tracks along with numerous QoL fixes such as KB&M mapping and more.

• Fixed glitch that occurs when failing a Daily Leaderboard Challenge (broken backgrounds, etc.).
  
• Numerous small menu translation fixes (thank you Discord users!)
  
• Slight polish to Reach You (Expert, Hard) - some annoying stuff gone, some bits slightly harder
  

Thanks so much to our incredible fans on Discord! Keep your suggestions flowing and we will keep logging them.

Happy spinning!

Thanks again for the feedback. We hear you!

The main priority here was to push out a hotfix for the mouse requiring a click to "engage". You can disable this by pressing Q on the options menu - look for the check box that appears.



This isn't a true fix, but we are working on a revamped options menu for an upcoming bigger patch which should add many more QoL fixes and a splash of polish.

• Fixed the white flickering that occasionally appeared in the middle of the screen giving you a surprise migraine
  
• Added a super secret option to toggle hold mouse click requirements.
  (Press Q in the Options Menu and a new checkbox toggle appears with no text at the bottom. A full fix and comprehensive options menu change is coming in the next content update)
  
• Fixed issue where spamming buttons could activate replay/next before song complete stats are read.
  
• Fixed bug where opening a website from the game would prevent Steam updates and the game from closing properly.
  
• Fixed an issue with Fullscreen / Windowed switching on startup.
  
• Disabled “Next” button on song complete for the last song on the tracklist.
  
• Fixed formatting and scrolling issues on Daily Leaderboard
  
• Fixed MIDI input / navigation on song failure
  
• Fixed a rare crash when changing from menus into game
  
• Changed game icon
  

There are so many things we want to fix and improve, so keep your suggestions flowing in Discord and we will keep logging them.

Happy spinning!

Hi guys, thanks for the overwhelming response to launch!

There are so many things we want to fix and improve, so keep your suggestions flowing in Discord and we will keep logging them.

• Added minimum deadzone for Xbox 360 controllers (fixes the mild stick drift).
  
• Fixed input focus in some cases (such as Pause and Song Complete).
  
• Improved performance on most devices.
  
• German translation improvements.
  
• Y now also maps to Tap Note on keyboard (same as Z).
  
• Improve Hold Notes (visual change and gameplay tweak!).
  

• Having to constantly hold the wheel button down on Mouse is fatiguing
  
• MacOS video / audio latency (game sync) issue
  
• MacOS controller requiring Steam restart (and Steam driver install issue)
  
• Resolution settings, and a million other options currently not available.
  
• So many more issues.
  
  

Don't forget to leave a review if you're loving the game, if you're hating it please tell us why and we will try to fix.

Happy spinning!
