Turbo Fat 1.0207: Balance tweaks


This release focuses on game balance and a few usability tweaks!

Bugs

  • Added workaround for some crashes after puzzles.
  • Extra logging to help diagnose crash causes.
  • Career Mode progress board is aligned for all resolutions.
  • Fixed a few gamepad/keyboard navigation issues.
  • Resolved issue in "The Last ¥100" where the onion didn't appear in some cases.

I've fixed a few minor keyboard/gamepad navigation issues which forced players to use the mouse on a few screens. This release also includes a few fixes targeting the crashes affecting some users, so please keep those reports coming! The Windows version includes a debug launcher, turbofat-troubleshoot.bat. If the game still crashes for you, running it through this launcher will log detailed info to a console to give me some extra info. It really helps!

Improvements

  • Holding the skip button now skips choices in cutscenes.
  • Cutscenes can now be advanced with the mouse.

Game Balance

  • Adjusted grading scales for all levels; high ranks are easier, low ranks are harder.
  • Decreased difficulty of levels: "Fruit Salad", "No Smoking Section 2".
  • Easier grading for training levels.
  • Easier grading for particularly difficult levels: "Back To Back", "Serving On A Rocket", others.

My original philosophy for the grading scale was that the highest 'SSS' and 'Master' grades should be for absolutely flawless play, but it feels a little unfun to have the grading be that strict so I've loosened it up a little. This was especially noticeable for the training levels, and a few of the more brutal levels in the bonus content.

Additionally, I wanted to pat novices on the back and give them good grades for low scores -- but based on community feedback, I was overdoing it a little! So I've raised the scoring requirements for the lowest grades.
