Devlog | Pre-Demo Testing | 30th May 2024

As always a huge thank you to all the testers who helped me improve the game! With each update Bean Beasts becomes more polished, has fewer bugs and better quality of life!

[h2]What's New...[/h2]

• On Endless mode, when you finish the run you can now view the whole level to take a screenshot.
  
• "Tips" added to the lose screens - giving players who may be struggling useful information that could help.
  
• Boxes now have a decay effect to show damage.
  
• New panel asks if you want to continue save for loaded data, now players will know what difficulty and wave will be loaded.
  
• Some balancing on endless mode - should be more hectic, but you also get more cash!
  
• Glowing cave mushrooms can now be popped by click.
  
• Enemy info is now locked behind a kill count wall.

• Some under the hood performances improvements.

[h2]Bug Fixes...[/h2]

• Fixed a timing error on the tutorial which caused enemies/ability panel to appear early, sometimes breaking the game.
  
• Made some amendments to the resolution settings to stop the scaling issues that sometimes happened with non-16x9 screens.
  
• Fixed a bug causing Snowy's mines to only do 5 damage.
  
• Changed the range display - It's now a perfect circle rather than oblong (previously it was skewed to look better with the art-style, however accuracy is better than style).
  
• Rider arrows were not destroying bushes.
  
• Slime health bars were turning invisible when their health was low.
  
• Some typos have been amended.
  
• Additional minor graphical fixes.
  

ːsteamthumbsdownː
[h2]Known Bugs...[/h2]

• Groups of enemies will sometimes clump together when stunned.
  
• Enemy movement can sometimes be a bit sporadic.
  
• Choppas occasionally get stuck if lots of walls are built/destroyed in quick succession.
  
• Some minor graphical fixes needed.
  

ːsteamthisː
[h2]Coming Soon / In Progress...[/h2]

• Key on the enemy info page which shows what each element/status logo means.
  
• Text pop-ups to explain the settings/options and what they do in more detail.
  
• WASD movement speed option.
  
• Path 1 upgrade for the flipper.
  
• Revamped "Info" section with updated screenshots and improved artwork.
  
• Language Setting Implemented.
  
• Performance Improvements (ongoing).
  

Cheers!

Anxious Noob.
