COLORNOVA News

[p]Hey everyone! It's been a little while but we're back after a successful next fest to talk about what's new with COLORNOVA. If you somehow missed the title, we made some improvements under the hood to make sure the Steam Deck experience is even better than before! So if you have a steam deck make sure to check out the game because COLORNOVA was practically made for it. We are also introducing the meteor alert system, this allows players to get a quick warning when meteors they haven't seen in the run start to approach. This can be turned off in the settings but will help new players become accustomed to the chaos! I also did some fine tuning on difficulty curve and a few other improvements, full changelog below. I'd also like to mention that this is likely the final demo update before COLORNOVA is released. You can expect the full game to be out on March 20th! If you have any feedback or want some sneak peaks into the full game you can always come hang out on discord! Thanks for playing and see you all soon for the game's full release!

[p]Hey everyone! I thought that next fest could use a little more fun so I decided to challenge you all to beat my personal high score of 38k! The first three people to get 39k on the GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS will get a free copy of the full game when it releases next month! Also the person who has the HIGHEST score on the global leaderboard by the end of next fest(March 2nd) will not only receive a copy of the full game but they'll also get a free copy of my last game TRIVIA WAR! I'll be checking the leaderboards often but if you hit 39k make sure to reach out to me on discord, so that I can declare you a winner and get you the details for your prize. You can find a link to the discord server on all of my socials @TezFraser and also below. There's also a full video explanation here if you're interested.

I also fixed a handful of bugs... but that's for another update.

Good Luck!
