This update has been long long overdue. There were some problems with both 1.51 and 1.52, so I decided I would skip those and go directly to a major update called 1.53. Unfortunately moving to a new place and life in general, prevented me from doing that as fast as I would like to. So what has happened to 8BitBoy? The core mechanics of the game has been optimized all-round and the game-engine has been updated extensively in several ways. This should decrease lag and increase performance for PC users. This is especially true for Nvidia users who used to experience problems with lag and changing

The every level in every world is undergoing a design overhaul. This is to make some of the first levels I made for the game, up to the standard of the complexity of the later levels. This also means alternative routes and much more content. This is also to stash a lot more hidden places in even more inventive ways. 8BitBoy has so much hidden content you won't believe it. Most people isn't going to find many of these hidden spots, but just knowing they are there to find, makes the game that much more exciting to play.

Polishing up and improving 8BitBoy in various places. New features and content are coming to an end for now, but there is still small bits that need to be tweaked and polished before I'm satisfied.

X and B on gamepad are the same now. Volume bug fixed. Volume lavels are saved automatically. Added gradual transition entering hidden places All new music in bonus levels Black 8BitBoy was green in bonus levels Added new

Collecting coins is suddenly a very essential part of playing 8BitBoy. 100 coins used to equal an extra life, but now it activates the power-up roulette. Any power-up you get, you can keep in a slot for when you need it. This makes everything so much easier, and a lot more fun. Having a power-up ready makes you a lot stronger. - Power-up save slot - Power-up roulette (collect 100 coins to activate) - Additional secret areas on 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 2-4 - Fullscreen setting is saved (no choosing at startup) - Player accelerates faster and breaks faster - Hidden areas "closes"

I wanted to add another power up for such a long time and now I finally got around to making that happen. The ultimate power-up in 8BitBoy. The ability to customize keys is also available in the main settings menu. Key bindings will be stored permanently. - New ultimate power-up - Firepower increased for black grapes - Set key bindings (beta, only keyboard) - New raspberry sprite * Hint: When you get the black grapes, try to run into someone - make sure you run fast enough.

There is few but important updates this time. The first important update is the pinpoint accuracy when jumping and hitting rocks and tiles. You can now pinpoint exactly which tile you wan't to hit.
