Fool's End News

Steam Deck:
-Improved readability for pixel fonts at Steam Deck screen size.

Menu:
-Levels that aren't yet unlocked are greyed out in the Level Select.

The biggest changes in this update are to the Daily Challenge mode. Some other little but long-requested features are packed in here too.

Daily Challenge Algorithm Update:
--Fatsploders added to daily rotation.
--Firesnakes added to daily rotation.
--Patrol towers added to daily rotation.
--Fireball shooters positioning reworked.



Stat changes:
-Dirt and other gravity affected tiles now fall more slowly (gravity turned down from 0.6 to 0.2 for those tiles)
-Player gravity remains.

Fixes:
-Jumping after hanging is now much smoother (this was a common complaint, and took quite a while to resolve).

Fixes in progress:
-Beer collectibles sometimes do not save properly. I'm hoping this patch resolves it but it is hard to test on my end so will need to see results since patch pushed.

Coming soon:
-Level editor.


--It's nearly complete, just polishing off some UI features and making sure all tiles/enemies work together in the editor as intended.
--Steam Workshop integration for publishing levels is the last step.

Super excited to share that Fool's End is part of PixElated Festival from July 29 - August 5.

This festival features some of the best pixel art games on Steam. From retro-style classics to contemporary indie gems all in one place.

Check out the official line-up and more information about the event here: http://pixelatedfest.com/

Daily Challenge:
-Fixed an ongoing issue which would cause scores not to register on the Daily Challenge Leaderboard. There are still some complications with Steamworks that requires you to open the Leaderboard in the Main Menu to see your score on the Leaderboard.

Other:
-The text rendering on the Main Menu is improved when players return to the menu after playing the game.

Hey there.

It's Alan from Pickled Cactus with some exciting news about the Fool's End soundtrack.

The Fool's End Official Soundtrack is now available to listen to on Youtube and Spotify!

All 16 tracks were composed and created by New Zealand-based musician Chris MacClure.

It'd be awesome if you could help support a fellow local artist by giving the soundtrack a listen.

Hope you enjoy the album - ːMCCHELMETː
