Castaway – Ver. 1.1.0

Release date: TBA
Patch notes:

Greatly improved weapon attack hitboxes.

Improved player collisions to prevent getting stuck in blocks or getting out of the playfield.

Coins stay “slightly” longer in the Tower before disappearing.

Removed the initial cutscene with pterodactyls in Speedrun and Unfair modes.

Added an option to disable Screenshakes.

Had the German, Polish, Ukrainian and Brazilian Portuguese translations corrected by professionals and/or native speakers.

Corrected the following country codes: Germany, China, Japanese and Spanish.

Added translators in credits.

Indicated the total number of floors in the menus (_/51) to avoid discouraging players who might fear an infinite or insane number of floors.

Slightly modified some rooms layout in the Tower.

Added a line of text before the credits informing the players that they’ll access the second part of the game (the Tower), to encourage them to continue.

Enabled the “Who did it?” Achievement to be obtained both by accessing credits via the main menu and by finishing the game.

Added new SFX for the following actions: “closing the doors in the tower”, “player bounce after a roll”. These were previously identical to the player injury SFX and were confusing.

Additional notes: none
