• Description
  There were a lot of controversy about the genre of this game, so we've modified the description to avoid further misunderstanding.

• Notes ("Arrows")
  We've loosen the timing a bit, and it'll allow you a few tenths of a second before the arrow makes contact on you. So you won't fail if you press the buttons quickly enough. But still, it won't be enough for pressing the buttons along the beat.
  (We're sorry, but this is uncompromisable. We do not want to change it like other common rhythm games.)
  
  
• Sync
  Adjusted the sync of the music on the hidden stage.

• Configuration
  As your wish! We've added a new 'page' in the game where you could turn things on and off. The options contains the following items:
  
  
  • Display mode toggle
    You can change between Windowed and Fullscreen mode.
    
    
  • Music volume indicator
    You can modulate the Music volume.
    
    
  • SFX volume indicator
    You can modulate the SFX(Sound Effects) volume.
    
    
  • Solid background toggle
    Eyes too hurt? Now you can turn on or off that blinky background.
    (This abandons the key feature of the game, but we decided to add this option for those who actually suffer from photosensitive epilepsy. Thank you to all who pointed this out.)
    
    
  • Restart music from the beginning (or not)
    Are you confused because of the music starting at the random point? Turn this on, then it'll always start from the beginning.
    (We recommend you to turn this off when you're tired of starting over. We believe that little randomness will help you enjoy this game with a light heart.)

And that's all for now! The developers are keep working on this title, and we hope to be able to deliver another news to you ASAP.

Until then, take care!

Hi there, we've received a several reports from the players that they've lost the progress after the update.

Actually, an unannounced software update for Project Rhombus was held in 7th December. We didn't post an announcement because the changes were too small, but the problem is that the new version has a different save directory than before.

Changing directory was intentional, but ignoring past records wasn't. We're sorry for that. We're not gonna change the save directory again and Steam Cloud Save feature is coming, so you don't have to worry about the progress lost in the future.

To restore the lost progress, please follow the descriptions below.


PRECAUTION: This will overwrite your current progress. If you already scored better results, don't follow the procedure below.

• 1. Navigate to "C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local". (Or simply type "%LocalAppData%" on your File Explorer window.)
  
• 2. Find folder "_2017_10_19" and open it.
  
• 3. Copy the file "save.dat".
  
• 4. Go back, and find "Project_Rhombus" this time. Open it.
  
• 5. Paste the file "save.dat". (If the system warns you for the file replacement, just press Replace.)
  
• 6. That's it! Your progress are back now.

P.S. Next update is coming in several hours, so please stay tuned! Don't worry; it'll never screw up your scores again.
