🔁 Changes

• Changed practice mode to allow taking damage

  • Now, missing a hit in practice mode will actually decrease HP

  • If HP is decreased past 0, it will go into the negatives (so you can see how many times you were hit)

• Added early and late indicators to MISSed notes

  • E and L indicators will display on MISSes (requires the E/L indicator setting to be turned on)

• Changed vibe chains to still be rewarded even if food in the vibe chain was missed

  • Previously, missing a food item that was part of a vibe chain would not reward vibe power correctly

  • Now, food can be missed and the chain will still correctly give vibe power

• Changed track select menu scroll speed

  • Just an experiment! We'd love to hear how you feel about it

  • We DIDN'T change Custom Music scroll speed, so you can easily compare there

**⚒️ **Fixes

• Fixed traps not appearing if the practice mode range was set to just after they were meant to appear

  • This also resolves the fan favourite issue of Twombtorial Challenge being inaccurate from the actual level!

• Fixed Electric Avenue being rewarded when using Golden Lute modifier

• Fixed sorting by BPM not working correctly after changing difficulty

• Fixed the navigation bar UI not updated to new keybinds immediately

• Fixed immediate reentry of some menus not working correctly

• Fixed the story mode menu position resetting when quitting the hard boss battle tutorial

• Fixed the story mode menu position resetting when quitting from the game over screen of a boss battle

• Fixed high score banner failing to appear if a higher score was achieved offline

• Fixed positive VO playing when getting a game over in Challenges

• Fixed a beatmap error in the final boss battle

• Fixed a softlock that occurred when entering and exiting the calibration test from inside the bestiary

• Fixed vibe power not scaling with playback speed in practice mode

  • Vibe power now correctly lasts longer when playing at 50% speed, for more accurate placement practice

• Fixed feedback form overlapping dialogue in story mode gameplay

• Fixed controls menu position resetting when changing a key bind

• Fixed minigames not always displaying the early and late indicators

• Fixed changing practice mode parameters and then disabling and re-enabling practice mode not returning the parameters to default

• Fixed (? hopefully) the final hit VFX not playing

  • There were about 7 unique and exciting ways this could occur, but we hopefully got all of them! Please report if you see this issue again

• Fixed (partially) a softlock that could occur during the first boss battle transition if the game was paused at the wrong time

  • This is a bandaid fix for a deeper issue that is much riskier to resolve without impacting the rest of the game

• Fixed several remix mode inaccuracies (mostly in the editor)
