Wanted to let you know that UFO 50 has just been released on Nintendo Switch, in case you're interested or know someone who might be! Thanks to Hidden Trap for assisting us with this port. Obviously this console release has taken quite a bit of work, but we still have plans for Steam: more languages (like Japanese), more bugfixes, and more optimizations.

Fixed: Speed records for completing Avianos and for completing the whole collection inadvertently shared the same variable. Note: Players who already completed all 50 games likely have incorrect times for Avianos speedruns. Unfortunately, we're unable to recover that data. Sorry about that. :( Fixed: Interface for viewing your whole collection completion times was inconsistent with how it's handled elsewhere. Fixed: Changing language in profile settings didn't change the language of the Mood setting. New: You can now reset joypad controls back to the defaults by holding both shoulder buttons |
