Summary (AI)

Version 1.4.0 of A Game About Feeding A Black Hole introduces the new Electric Moons game mode, which features moons and an electric effect triggered by a charged breaker, with a typical playtime of 15-20 minutes. The update includes backend improvements to support an upcoming Roguelike mode playtest. Several experimental modes like Giant Grid and Idle Mode have been removed after testing showed they were unfun. Accessibility options have been added, including disabling object rotation, and a new achievement for completing Electric Moons is available. The patch also includes bug fixes, millisecond timing for records, and updates to Korean, Japanese, and Turkish translations.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

We are not going to add Steam Workshop and Mods support. We did a bit of exploration in to this and while we think it could happen, we decided the amount of work involved in this would be too much for our small studio to do.
Giant Grid Mode. Simply unfun in testing and as such we are not long going to add this mode
Idle Mode. Similar to Mods this idea is fun, but the amount of work and custom development was just too high for Cory and I to do.
Roguelike Mode. This patch contains a ton of back end changes which were aimed at making roguelike mode possible. Keep an eye out for the next play test for this mode (soon™).
Radioactive Mode. I'm picturing a mode where you create giant radioactive clouds which basically allow you to passively sit back and watch them destroy everything. In my head this will be a pseudo idle mode.

This mode answers the question “What if the breaker was charged up and triggered the electric effect?”
This mode takes about 15-20 min to complete
