Thumper News

A small update with some usability features and fixes is live now.

• Added custom frame rate caps for 2D mode (Options > Video)
  
• Fixed potential save corruption if app crashes/quits during auto-save
  
• Fixed glitch auto-saving on checkpoint
  
• Better and friendlier detection of corrupt save files
  
• Updated VIVE left touchpad icons for clarity
  
• Improved Portuguese, Finnish, and Simplified Chinese text
  

We hope to address the remaining high-priority usability and "quality of life" issues over the next couple weeks. This includes A/V calibration, input remapping, and improved VIVE controller support.

Thumper now supports Steam Trading Cards and Badges. Enjoy!

A game update with stability and usability improvements is coming next week.

We've released a small update with some usability improvements and fixes based on player feedback.

• Added gamepad analog stick sensitivity adjustment (under Options > Gameplay). If you experience stick "bounce back" issues on multi-lane sections, reducing the sensitivity should help.
  
• Minor optimizations to DX11 renderer (both VR and non-VR)
  

• VR tracking can be manually recentered by holding start/pause button (or ESC key) for 1.5 seconds
  
• VR tracking auto-recentering can be disabled under Options > VR
  
• Only tracking position (not orientation) is automatically reset if HMD tracking is lost and reacquired
  

• Detect and use correct display adapter (even when it's not the default)
  
• SteamVR skybox set to black and DROOL logo displayed during startup
  

• DROOL start up logo moved further away from viewer
  

Thanks again for playing! We're working on more improvements and we'll continue to monitor the Thumper Community Hub for issues.

Thumper is Now Available on Steam in virtual reality!

The recent update to Thumper adds support for both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift via SteamVR. It includes Oculus SDK support and basic support for both Oculus Touch and Vive controllers.

Of course, you can still play all nine epic levels (including PLAY+ mode) in both traditional 2D and VR mode.

Thumper is rhythm violence: classic rhythm-action, blistering speed, and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle. Brave the hellish void and confront a maniacal giant head from the future.
