[h2]Hello, gamers! The 0.9.7 patch has arrived![/h2]

Note: The 📢 symbol indicates improvements based on community feedback!

[h3]🎮Major Changes[/h3]

    💬 Party Mode Overhaul


[h3]Party Mode Overhaul[/h3]
The previous individual heart system did not align with the cooperative and competitive direction of the arcade party. We have switched to a shared heart system where all players share hearts, and we've added an energy system. Here are the changes.


[h3]Party Mode Start Button[/h3]

To improve accessibility to party mode, we've made it possible to start party mode directly through the UI. Enjoy party mode from anywhere in your arcade without any complicated processes!


[h3]Difficulty System Modification[/h3]

Our development team aims to transform Arcade Party into a challenging game for true gamers, not just an easy game anyone can beat. As part of this, we've added a player-customizable difficulty system and adjusted the difficulty of minigames and boss fights. Now, you'll start at the easiest difficulty and progress to higher difficulties based on your skill level.


[h3]Energy System[/h3]

The scoring evaluation system has been replaced with an energy system. You will earn energy based on the scores you achieve in minigames. If the total energy collected by you and your teammates falls below the threshold, you will take damage. if it exceeds it, you will deal proportional damage to the arcade machine.

A player can collect a maximum of three energy units.


[h3]Coin Item[/h3]

During the bonus game, not only will you gain lives, but you'll also be able to collect coins. We plan to add items that allow you to collect arcade coins during other minigames as well, so stay tuned for more exciting updates!
