Version 1.09 is live! Mostly, this adds Steam Leaderboard support.

Please note that the Steam Leaderboards will probably be updated a few times in the near future. We've been testing them out with a small group of users, but it's difficult to predict what these will look like after they've been rolled out to the public.

One important thing to note with leaderboards: your scores aren't uploaded until you look at the leaderboards! The leaderboards have upload limits, and if we tried to upload every score for every track at once, we'd bump against that limit immediately.

Here's a fuller list of updates from this patch:

• Added Steam Leaderboards to the Level Select screen and Score screen!
  
• When getting a new high score, "New High Score" text appears below your score in the Score screen.
  
• Improved some button shapes in the Score screen to prevent accidental "Retry" clicks.
  
• Added an option for 120fps target framerate.
  
• Once again attempted to fix a bug that could cause extremely short notes in custom tracks to yield enormously negative scores.
  

More updates coming soon! Thank you for your patience!

Hi everyone - we just pushed v1.0897 live, which does the following:

• Adds "Mars, the Bringer of War" as a new track!
  
• Adds a little timer during gameplay, showing time elapsed & total track time.
  
• Re-activates some keyboard keys for tooting, which were disabled in a previous update.
  
• Adjusts the light bloom effect that appears when reaching "Champ Mode"
  
• Adds a new option in the ACCESSIBILITY settings menu, allowing users to turn off the Champ Mode light bloom effect.
  
• Users with a ton of custom tracks should now get S rank achievements during the point screen, no longer requiring a game restart.
  
• Some settings have had their language and/or position adjusted, to make them easier to find and understand.
  
• A handful of small fixes and optimizations.
  

We have a bunch of larger updates we're working on, which should be exciting! Thank you for your continued patience.

Hello! The previous update was supposed to add two new achievements, but it turns out that there was a basic problem with how the app's achievements were configured with Steam. The issue should be fixed and all of the achievements should play nicely now.

If you're running the newest version, you should see "1.0895B" on the title screen.

Thank you for your patience!

We just pushed a very small update, 1.0895. This only does a handful of things:

• Adds two new achievements for getting S scores on 25 or 30 tracks.
  
• Adjusts some code in the gameplay scene to facilitate the function of some mods.
  
• A few tiny adjustments for 16:10 displays.
  

Have a good holiday weekend, everyone!
