Assault Android Cactus

Oct 19, 2015
19.10.15 Update - small fixes
Assault Android Cactus+ - Sycle


Features
  • Spectre texture improvements
  • Embryo, Vespula and Justice interpolate their motion better
  • Minor internal performance improvements
  • Mouse and Keyboard users in co-op can locate their character with the Home key

Fixes and Changes
  • fixed inconsistencies when Leaderboards are set to Disabled - local ranks are retained
  • fixed rare case where certain enemies could get stuck in an unresponsive state immediately after spawning
  • fixed case where Boss music wouldn't transition at the start of combat when HUD was disabled through EX Options and their dialogue was skipped

Known Issues
  • Launching the game in Big Picture mode on OSX can result in a crash when the Steam overlay box first appears. Until the issue is resolved, the work-around is to avoid launching through Big Picture mode or disable the Steam overlay

Coming Soon
  • Additional language support

7.10.15 Update - features and fixes
Assault Android Cactus+ - Sycle


Features
  • Soundtrack now includes FLAC - anyone with this DLC will find an additional directory inside their game directory
  • Credits are now earned on Battery Depleted (stage loss) during the campaign and when restarting / quitting stages
  • Credit earning rate has increased slightly
  • (Windows / OSX) Gamepad disconnection detection - the game will attempt to pause and offer a chance to reconnect the controller or migrate to a new control device
  • In co-op, if a player other than Player 1 pauses the game, the pause menu will say who it is so you can yell at them to unpause the game and keep playing
  • added an Accessibility menu under Options
    • Fire Mode - able to switch to Inverse fire. The character will fire their gun all the time and only stop when the fire button is held - intended for anyone experiencing discomfort from holding the trigger for long periods
    • Colour Filter - filters that may increase game readability for players with limited colour perception (this is an experimental feature)
    • Enemy Hit Flash - to reduce the intensity of the white flash effect on enemies
    • Screen Shake - to restrict screen shudder to Events (eg, stage transformations, boss introductions) or disable it completely
  • Small adjustment to battery frequency and Boss hitpoints when in 3 and 4 player
  • Small adjustments to Phase 4 of the last boss
  • Added a command line workaround for Windows 10 users who are experiencing phantom controllers and are not in a position to fix the underlying issue. Adding -p:1 to SET LAUNCH OPTIONS... will restrict the game to a single player

Fixes and Changes
  • Consistent enemy spawn rules for all screen dimensions. Extended resolutions (super wide screen) may experience enemy pop-in on some stages, but will now function normally without setting the -screens:# command line property (this command line argument can still be used to position the HUD better for multi monitor users)
  • Failing Boss Rush will no longer present the enigmatic "Play Advice" text
  • Attract Mode will no longer earn Achievements for you
  • Restarting a level after being Battery Depleted will no longer sometimes mute the gameplay sound effects
  • Fixed some cases where the Vorpal Blade could leave level bounds or place the character inside geometry
  • Fixed missing sound on Autoturret in Control (5-2)
  • On beating the game and watching the ending sequence through, the mouse cursor will no longer be hidden on returning to main menu when playing with Mouse and Keyboard
  • Avatar silhouettes won't show during stage enter animations, even when the character clips the ground slightly in a totally-not-a-big-deal kind of way
