Apparently more than a few players had qualms with the beat detection system of Binary Takeover’s casual music-powered puzzle game Turba, so the developers took the feedback to heart and have completely reworked the beat detection system in the game.
Anyone who has downloaded the demo and used up some or all of their track count will get a reset to check out the new system. The dev does this in hope that those who were put off by the original system can give the demo another chance and possibly change their opinion of the game.
Additionally, the new update brings top 10 lists of most played artists and songs, makes it faster to unlock powers and implements a few bug fixes. The file can be downloaded now for owners of the game on Steam.
From the change log:
Turba Update
The biggest change in this new update is the reworking of the game’s beat detection system. After a lot of feedback, we overhauled the system in hopes of improving the experience for our players. We have also made it so that everyone’s song count in the demo version will reset. We want everyone to be able to try out the new beat detection, and hope that if there are any people out there who were put off by the previous system, they will give the game another chance and possibly change their minds about buying the full version.
In addition to this, we have also fixed several bugs and added a couple of new features. Here is a list:
- Added top 10 most played artists and songs to the Scores menu.
- Roulette, Auto Combo and Zapper powers are unlocked faster. (25, 50, 75 activations down to
- 20, 40, 60 activations to unlock)
- Fixed leader board scores not updating correctly sometimes when you got a higher score.
- Fixed bug in file browser that didn’t allow CDs to be played.
- Fixed bug in file browser that made folders not show up under certain drive letters.
- Fixed Last.fm account name input to accept underscores.”
