[h2]New Features[/h2]

• Localization - exceed has been translated into the following languages: Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Spanish (Latin America). Thanks to some amazing people on our Discord server, we also have been able to translate hexceed into Dutch and Finish. The game should default to whichever language your operating system is set to, but there is also a new setting in-game that lets you change manually. This is our first attempt at localization, so if there are any issues with your language please let us know in discord (>'o')>

Available for the price of $0.99, £0.79, (or your regional equivalent). The pack will release on the 26th of March at 19:00 UTC/12:00 PST.

[h2]New Features[/h2]

• World Select Stars - For those of you who like getting the optional commendations after you complete a world! Now if you complete all 5 challenges on a world, the world select button will show a star, to signify that you have truly 100% completed the world.
  
• Press "R" to rotate - You no longer need to wait for the timer to rotate for you! As requested by the community, we have added a keyboard shortcut that triggers the new rotating tiles mechanic. When pressed the tiles will rotate once, and the timer will be reset. You can rebind the key in the controls tab of the settings page.
  
• New "Disable Chord Fail" Setting - (default off) In v1.3 we made the chord feature register a fail if you incorrectly pressed it on a hex. We made this decision because it became quickly apparent after adding the feature that it made the game much easier. Adding a failure state to the feature forces a player to think before using it. We have heard your feedback, and although the failure state will be the default, you can disable this with this new setting.
  
• New "Skip Level Complete Animation" Setting - (default off) When this setting is enabled, whenever you complete a level you will be immediately taken out of the level, skipping the level complete timelapse.
  
• New "Disable Click and Drag" Setting - (default off) For the speedrunners out there who click faster than the game can cope with! When enabled you won't be able to click and drag to navigate around a level, you will instead use the keyboard panning controls.
  
• Added a new "Reset to Default" button to the controls tab of the Settings menu. This button will revert any keybind overrides that you have set to their default values.
  
• New "Unrestricted Panning" Setting - (default off) A feature requested for accessibility. With this setting enabled, you can move around levels much further so you can keep the mouse cursor in the center of the screen.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes and Misc[/h2]

• Fixed a bug where the percentage complete on the loading screen would sometimes drop to a second line.
  
• Minor adjustments to the settings menu text size and formatting, for more consistency across settings tabs.
  
• Made the timer pause during loading, the level complete animation, and the fail animation. This is to address graphical issues to do with wall artefacts, and hexes being incorrectly left white.
  
• Fixed a visual bug where pressing the clue button and then being taken back to before you clicked the clue, white tiles would remain.
  

The second DLC for hexceed is here and brings with it 122 new levels, all of which include a brand new mechanic to twist things up!


[h2]Rotating Tiles[/h2]

The newest mechanic, which has tutorials within this release, is Rotating Tiles! At the end of the timer marked tiles will change direction. Play to discover how spinning tiles affect the way you need to think about completing a level!
