Release notes

Changelog

Every release of both games, newest first. The two games share one save and one version number, so a release that touched the studio rather than the game still shows up here.

Pixel Smash

Latest v1.420 · platform fighter
  1. v1.420Latest
    • Released alongside the Kart ghosts update so both games report the same version. No gameplay changes in Smash.
    • Your save, Power and friends are untouched; the version move keeps online play matched across the two games.
  2. v1.411
    • The stage now fills the screen on 4:3 displays instead of sitting in a letterboxed strip.
  3. v1.41
    • HUD text is baked into small canvases once and blitted, instead of being redrawn glyph by glyph every frame. Fewer draw calls, steadier frame times.
    • Perf stats overlay (F3, or Options → Perf stats) shows FPS, JS time and the worst frame.
  4. v1.2
    • Pixel accounts. Create a username and password and your save follows you to any device.
    • Saves merge instead of overwriting: playing offline on one device and online on another keeps both.
    • Forgotten password recovery with a written-down recovery code or an optional email.
    • Friends are built on accounts, so a friend's name arrives even when they are not online.
    • Guests still play everything; a guest can turn their progress into an account at any time.
  5. v1.1Foundation
    • Sweet and sour hitboxes: weapon tips hit harder than shafts, late frames of long-lasting moves do less, and a fast swing can no longer pass through someone between frames.
    • Hitbox view in Training draws hitboxes, hurtboxes and each swing's path for a frame.
    • CPUs think more like people: human reaction times, favourite moves, reads on your habits at level 6+, and mistakes at low levels.
    • Balance pass on Vespa, Cragg, Runner, Sorrel and Clover, tuned with 180-match CPU round robins.
    • Music player, plus battle music that can shuffle a random stage song each match.
    • Online anti-cheat: the host checks speed, items, finishes and hits, and leaving early costs Power.
  6. v1.0
    • Launch. Six fighters, seven stages, one to four players on one screen.
    • Online For Fun and For Glory, LAN play, friends with win–loss records, and a save shared with Pixel Smash Kart.
    • Tilts, smashes, specials, grabs, shields and parries; damage percentage, blast zones and Sudden Death.

Pixel Smash Kart

Latest v1.420 · kart racer
  1. v1.420Latest
    • Real time trial ghosts. Your best run is recorded and replays beside you: same line, same drifts, same boosts.
    • Leaderboards for every course: the world top 20, with the racer, kart and the exact stat line each time was set with. Older times show an older stats tag when a racer has been retuned since.
    • Download ghosts from the board, eight per course. The ninth asks which one to delete.
    • Race all of them at once, or watch them together and flip the camera between ghosts.
    • Online spectating gets the same camera switching: left/right or C, with the camera number on screen.
    • Posting a time needs a sign-in; browsing and downloading do not.
  2. v1.411
    • Fixed the course "swimming" introduced in 1.41: the depth lattice is fixed per view and track again, so the road stays put while you drive.
  3. v1.41
    • Tricks now fire from a drift press as well as holding drift, and every ramp throws you into the air with a boost.
    • Full-detail ground at half the raycast samples, with no automatic resolution drop while racing.
    • Text is measured once per string instead of every frame, which stops the HUD stalling the GPU while you drive.
    • Perf stats overlay (F3, or Options → Perf stats).
  4. v1.2
    • Pixel accounts, shared with Pixel Smash: cloud save that merges, username and password, recovery codes, and friends who show up by name.
  5. v1.1Foundation
    • Speed rebalance: the top-speed spread was halved, so acceleration, handling, traction and mini-turbo matter again (light karts were about 15% slower per lap).
    • Racer and kart tuning for Clover, Sorrel, Harrow, Vespa and six karts, checked over 120 simulated item races.
    • Music player, plus race music that can shuffle a random course song each race.
    • Online anti-cheat, and leaving a race early now costs VR.
    • Clear records asks for a second press, so one stray press no longer wipes every time-trial record.
  6. v1.0
    • Launch. Six tracks in two cups, 50cc / 100cc / 150cc, ten items from Moss Pebbles to the Storm Bell.
    • Split-screen for two to four players, online races with up to eleven others, LAN play, and spectating a room until the next race.
    • Time trials with a record per course, drift boosts, rocket starts and tricks off every ramp.
