Development Update February 2024

Hello Pancake, Bullet Heaven and Hell Fans!

Today I just want to give you all a quick update about the progress of Pancake Patrol.
It's going really well, I've almost completed the new UI, which is a lot more beautiful than before and slowly but surely everything is coming together and looking better and better every day!

I also began to simplify the UI overall as it was too fragmented, so the DPS Dummy moved to Options, Variety Modes were moved to the new Map screen, simply titled "Play" and everything boss related is unified under "Boss Menu"

Here is an example of the new Boss Modes menu:



As for gameplay content, I've finished Levels 1-3, the Horde Mode, 4 out of 10 boss fights, DPS Dummy and the Harry 1v1 fight.
There is still a lot of work to do, but I'm confident that nothing stands in the way of a release in summer 2024.
