Minishoot' Adventures news & patch notes

If you finished Minishoot' and need more Pew Pew action, I asked 4 of my favorite shooters on Steam to bundle with us at a discount. I've played dozen of shooters indie on Steam, and while these 4 all are quite different from Minishoot' I love them each for different reasons and I wanted to share these with you today. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/51372/Pew_Pew_Bundle/

GUNFIELD

Incredibly juicy gamefeel and polished pixel art. It combines survivor elements with tight shmup gameplay, which is incredibly enticing, especially with all the permanent unlocks and upgrades. I completed countless runs and will keep coming back for more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/9a43bc2b70129b47875de970db3e04255dcdcfd2.png

Operation Steel

It may looks simple but Operation Steel excels in level design and pacing, making each run a joy. Balance your skills, weapons, money and health to reach the end of a succession of handcrafted branching stages. While the main game difficulty is somewhat manageable, the Hard mode is testing me :D {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/5df36eba6c4a3aafbbad591722498616d06e0468.png

Escape Space

What I hate in most shmup is the lack of meta progression. Here comes Escape Space, which adds lite RPG elements that will make you keep coming back for more, with its missions based progression. While the game is not perfect, it got me HOOKED pretty hard, and I cherished my time with it. Sequel needed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/8156559615010a5b38e21153ea791fcb81b258d6.png

Lilac 0

One of the crispiest pixel art shmup out there that modernises the genre with his top notch gamefeel and spiced up arcade gameplay. It's tough but also very retry friendly, with unlockable Continues and permanent stage progression. Each stage is tightly designed and will put your knowledge to the test. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/9c8ad6e8ef811d1d3e94abe89d513b6e84dff991.png If you like only some of them, you can wishlist and buy them separetely! Thanks for giving these games a chance :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/1bad0c7533afa987774a9e3dc7fe676a07f155d3.png Argl {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/ed23e9ad3b48a4e8304e0b8cce53a2451faf0223.png

After taking a break to recover from launch, we focused on making the game Verified on Steam Deck, while making it more fluid and fix some major issues.

• We rebuilt all UI components that were poorly readable on SteamDeck. Which makes UI more user friendly and accessible for Steam Deck and PC as well.
• We did a final pass on optimization to remove nasty lag spikes and FPS drops. Gameplay on PC is more fluid than ever in epic fights which is especially crucial on SteamDeck.
• We changed the Steam API to make sure Achievements would work for MacOs user as well. Sorry about that, you should be able to redeem your Achievements if you have a save file around (if not you can find one in the forums about lost save).

Smaller changes :

• Fixed a bug where unique keys were carried over to new games
• Fixed an issue that caused lag and freeze after reloading the game several times. (Many thanks to xcvdgb and Zookster on discord)
• Added the lowest difficulty chosen on the Save slot so you know which Achievement you are eligible to
• Made it easier to skip intro (just press Enter or Escape, or Start on gamepad)

If you scanned the map, it would start beeping again where the map piece used to be. That should be fixed! Sorry for the confusion ^^' Thanks for the fast reports! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/1bad0c7533afa987774a9e3dc7fe676a07f155d3.png Argl {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/ed23e9ad3b48a4e8304e0b8cce53a2451faf0223.png

Change logs v1.03

IMPORTANT CHANGES

• MAP DETECTION SYSTEM: map icon now discreetly "beep" and shake as you get closer to a missing map piece. We hope this would alleviate the frustration of not finding the missing maps.
• SOFTLOCK ISSUES: All issues linked to being softlock by a boss, a fight, a torch or a button, etc. should be fixed retroactively.
• PARKOUR/RACES BALANCING:Starting a race now also restores your energy. Improved races timing that felt odly balanced and were particularly difficult to beat with Keyboard and mouse setups.

SMALLER CHANGES

• Added a map marker to clarify the main path to access the second Dungeon
• Improved lighthouse puzzle
• Fixed supershot camera movement not being affected by screenshake settings
• Scarab can't get stuck behind the torch in Desert Temple anymore
• French localization dialogs improved
• Fixed out of bound visual issue in dungeon 2

Don't forget to get your Minishoot' plushie ^^ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/45418535c385195ef0b354a27a930913ce7b2830.jpg

Hard Achievement Issue

I fixed another bug that prevented the achievement obtention. This was due to issues regarding the initialization of both difficulty pop up AND options menu, and how Unity toggle buttons works. The issue should now be fixed for all NEW playthroughs. For current playthrough, you can still retrieve your missing achievements. (if you have already completed the game) by clicking this button: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/d13e5a8d3c634db9505025895ee90add0aa2bbdd.png I'll remove the button in a couple of weeks after everyone got the chance to get their achievements back.

Minor fixes

• Slightly nerfed some bullet from the last pattern of the third boss
• Adjusted the map emplacement of a hole in the abyss that didn't match the real location
• Fixed the issue with Map key input displaying "semi-colon"
• Fixed rare issue where main menu became invisible

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40609424/ed23e9ad3b48a4e8304e0b8cce53a2451faf0223.png Argl

Some of you reported losing their save file after random crashes which is really the worst. I tried to come up with a good solution. I hope this changes will prevent most save file issue!

Save issue fixes

• The game now creates a backup save every 2 minutes instead of once upon loading.
• If you main save file is lost or corrupted, the game will automatically try to load the existing backup and let you know your file has been restored.

Improvements

• Slightly increase XP gain against bigger enemies
• Added remapable button for the Map
• (end game spoiler) Made sure you couldn't go past the Unchosen in the snow area

First patch is here! Thank you all for your precious feedback and especially to Moojuiceman for the help with the achievement issue. I fixed all that was fast and safe to fix, will get back to work asap to fix the rest!

Important

• Fixed softlock at the final boss, being stuck behind the crystal barrier. It will now re-open if needed.
• Fixed Arena achievement being awarded one arena too soon.
• Fixed an issue where you could finish the game in Advanced without getting the achievement. Unfortunately this in not retroactive as I have no way to know who picked what difficulty due to the bug itself. I apologize for your lost efforts. If you still care to get the achievement, I’d suggest waiting for a future content update, and redo the game in Advanced on such occasion. Really sorry about this annoying issue :'(

Minor

• Removed confusing map icon/ping and fixed a cave position
• Fixed some typoes
• Lowered Teleport module price
• Removed a softlocking gap in dungeon 1
• Removed the annoying crackling looping sound
• Added the covfefe jar

在等待Steam官方验证的同时，我们可以确认Minishoot'在Steam Deck上是100%可玩的，稳定的60 fps，且在极少数情况下会有非常小的fps下降。 我们已经收到了来自多位玩家的反馈，他们报告说在Steam Deck上玩得非常开心，所以放心使用吧！ 谢谢， Argl & Kuho
