全世界的玩家们,你们好!! 也许你已经注意到了我在X上关于通过Steam上的负面评论请求本土化的Tweet。 为了支持所有玩家,我不断更新游戏及其本地化内容,尽管游戏仍然没有盈利。 遗憾的是,我还没有幸运地找到理想的中文翻译-中文本地化过程是具有挑战性的,我想为您提供完美的工作。我不想使用廉价的AI/谷歌翻译。 这就是为什么我在X上表达了我关于留下差评要求新的本土化的感受。从财务角度来看,这些审查会使整个过程对我来说更具挑战性。 除此之外,我还发表了一些可能会冒犯你的评论。这不是故意的,我真的很抱歉!!!!! 我仍然会尝试更新游戏并添加新的本地化内容,包括简体中文,但作为一名独立开发者,我的行动相当缓慢。所以请原谅我。 再给我一次机会,对我有耐心。我的个人目标是通过游戏传播乐趣,而不是冲突。 你的真诚, Karel又名KO。DLL Hello, dear players across the whole world, no matter where you live!!! Maybe you have registered my Tweet on X about requesting localizations through negative reviews here on Steam. I continuously update the game and its localiz

Happy Winter Holidays! The new year is just around the corner, and BZZZT has been with us for exactly one year and one month. During that time, I released 12 updates and 3 major ones. This update, the last 2024 one, focuses on community feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. Here is the complete list of changes: The "Quick Restart" option has been added to the "Game Over" screen in Insane Mode. The game (together with music and sounds) is paused while the game is suspended (minimized or without focus). "Ambush" stage (no. 10) - The first secret room camera interpolation can't be interrupted b

The most important feature of this update is that the game has been fully localized into Japanese. Thank you, Kohei Takara!!! Also, the Japan version of BZZZT received a very cool subtitle: バズボット!- Bazubotto! (BuzzBot). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37545167/5d72726ee1c00756090095a50f10cb58b45cf127.png That makes this localization the eleventh one! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37545167/c2382c7d211489e8d8cc8bcc494fb4081dbb6874.png If you have any friends in Japan, please let them know to try the game.

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce the new content update for my BZZZT game, which is mostly dedicated to the VERY EASY mode. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37545167/27a3e056492e006c9f2c9529dd8609555d76803e.png This game mode was carefully designed for kids, their parents, and anyone wanting to enjoy the BZZZT game without intense challenges. You can now train your platformer skills at newly redesigned levels with fewer traps, enemies, and other hazards while still being able to collect trophies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37545167/15da5be025fcc1b0dc2fa131b9e60e3969b36847.gif Together with that, I have implem

Milliseconds rounding is improved. Flawless and silver trophy runs are now correctly registered when the displayed stage time is precisely on the trophy time limit (0.009 is rounded down now). The best personal score is stored correctly after finishing the stage for the first time. A lower score can't rewrite the Silver trophy anymore.

Hello! The most complex change I had to make was to optimize the game and FPS drops reported by players. It took some time, but I hope it is way better now - together with testers, we did not observe any performance drops. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37545167/769c9dd4b3e3b93cd30faa040933c0b92d5b7a90.gif Here is the complete list of all improvements and tweaks: System improvements: The "Camera Shake" toggle is added to the settings now.

v1.003 First boss projectiles - sound fix. The playable character can't dash through laser beams anymore. The playable character can be hit by traps while going to teleport during the end-stage animation. Controls are restored. A Leaderboard player's rank out of the top ten has more than two digits of space in the level selection screen. Improved ladder interactions. Long-moving platforms have a better damping effect. Double jump is now detected correctly when the platform in the Exploding Lemmings stage is moving. Minor text fixes.

BZZZT is out for one week, and it has 100% very positive reviews from 150 players! What a fantastic achievement!!! And because you love the game so much, I have added the game to Steam Award Nominations for the "Best Game You Suck At" category. :) Yes, I could use the "Best Soundtrack" or "Outstanding Visual Style" categories, but I feel "Best Game You Suck At" is the perfect one. Please help me with voting to make BZZZT the most "just one more round and I am going to sleep" game. Thank you! Karel Matejka aka KO.DLL Solo developer behind BZZZT game.
