So I've been wanting to rerecord some lines for controllers for a while, and have been utterly failing (the intro jokes about mouse and keyboard controls). Those recordings were made years ago, on very old hardware/software, and splicing in new recordings, or doing new recordings altogether, just wasn't working out.

I liked the originals too much to mix them up with things that didn't match! But this morning I got my old recording setup going and there are now controller-specific audio/subtitles for that cutscene!

I know it was confusing some people, and this is probably funnier, too. Hooray!

Also, while I'm here, I'd like to blab about beta 0.15's new "boss boost" system for bosses 1-4.

If you die three times in a row on boss, you'll see this screen:


If you agree to that, then you'll respawn with the "SUPER CHARGED" rings spinning in your HUD, like at the end of most collect fixbots levels. You'll shoot giant exploding bullets and launch dramatically higher while moving large chunks of terrain at once.

This tends to result in you winning the boss fight, but you won't get the fixbot.



I hope this will result in people still coming back to play and master the level later, perhaps after getting more suit powers.

It's not a huge change, but I was really sweatin' it. I think this will let me keep the challenge most people like in the boss fights while not locking anyone out of the rest of the game just because they happened to get stuck.
