Assault Android Cactus News

04.10.16 Update



Changes
  • mapped Q and Z to movement to better handle some European keyboard layouts
  • brightened the energy tether on Fetcher Fidos and Justice's Grapple Balls and tinted the player blue when attached for increased visibility
  • Improved look of Rocket trails on Lemon's Rocket Launcher
  • Added more movement to Lemon's ponytail in-game


Fixes
  • Fixed rare case where a framerate stutter or other large time step would cause Titan's to be unresponsive after spawning
  • Fixed issue where music would play during the pause menu if the game was paused before the level music started
  • Fixed issue where the grid of the Aethersphere would remain black instead of purple
  • Stage Select scoreboards now show the correct leaderboard for the number of players
  • Corrected discrepancies and interpolation of high score comparisons at the end of stages
  • Fixed a few places where cultural formatting (based on language) wasn't applied
  • Corrected minor hair clipping occurring on Cactus and Lemon's stage entry animations
  • Fixed issue where enemy lasers could appear wrong for a frame on initialisation
  • Fixed issue where Liquorice's Vorpal Blade range indicator would appear for one frame
  • Tutorial markers follow target visual position for smoother results at very high framerates
  • Characters slightly clipping through the floor no longer display floor silhouettes

Cactus kicks butt with a Steam Controller

We're part of this weekend's sale for Big Picture-Friendly Games


http://store.steampowered.com/sale/bigpicturegames/

Not only does Cactus work great with Big Picture mode, we've been a good fit for the Steam Controller from the beginning - you may remember our unexpected appearance in Valve's announcement trailer at around the minute mark

One cool thing about the Steam Controller is it can be customised, by anyone, and thanks to improvements made by HERO 01, we now have two Recommend configurations which can be reached by choosing Manage Game and looking for the Controller Configuration option.



  • AAC Gamepad Aiming emulates a gamepad and is the easiest to get up and playing with, particularly for local multiplayer! Be sure to let your thumbs trace big easy circles towards the edge of the trackpad surfaces to get the full aiming accuracy the Steam Controller is capable of.

  • AAC Mouse Region Aiming emulates Mouse and Keyboard and suited for players with a bit of experience. The right trackpad positions the aiming reticle directly, allowing for lightning fast adjustments and precision Helo movements. If you have a Steam Controller, give it a go as it's a fun and new way to play!


We've put these two profiles under Recommended to to make them easy to find and use, but take a peek in the Community section to see what other people have come up with!

Coral t-shirt available for a limited time!

this shirt is only available to order for the next two weeks



In the same style as the Holly t-shirt, this one has Coral on the front and the AAC logo on the back and is available on blue or dark grey.

Get a look at all the colour and t-shirt options here

There's a range of shirt types, suitable for men and women. I was really happy with how well the Holly t-shirt came out so I feel pretty good about this one! Last time people seemed sad to have missed out, so if you know any Coral fans, do them a favour and let them know!
