The new Killer Chambers MEGA-PATCH is live!

It' been some time but there's a lot of new things with this update.

Many of the changes are under the hood for better performance and overall stability, mainly due to the optimisations that were needed on the console versions of KC, so with this patch the game is exactly the same on all platforms.

But there's a relevant change in terms of gameplay too:
A complete rework of the patterns for the first two maps, the bosses and the cursed rooms.

We've noticed that some players struggle a bit too much with the difficulty so we loosened up things in the whole first third of the game (this includes all the difficulty levels in each chamber of course).

So now it's a good time to retry that impossible level or boss and get that crown at the end of the game!

NEW STUFF

• Re-balanced all the difficulty levels for the first two maps of the game.
  
• Re-balanced the difficulty for the bosses and the cursed rooms.
  
• Optimisations to the input behaviour when using a gamepad (better control and less sensibility weirdness).
  
• Full rework of the particle system (better performance).
  
• Opening any menu in a chamber, including the inventory, will now pause the game.

FIXES

• Fixed some issues with Mascarone when using the Rugby Helmet.
  
• General fixes to the effects of some hats and items.
  
• Optimisations in how the sounds work internally (less sound overlapping).

Hey we are back for a small patch!

NEW STUFF

• Opening the system menu in a chamber will now pause the game!

FIXES

• Wearing a new hat in the shop for the first time doesn't cause you to explode anymore (😂)
  
• Fixed some minor typos in the dialogues
  
• Small pattern changes in the first floor chambers

A castle full of deadly traps and lethal creatures, an angry ghost with dark powers, a lord determined to steal all the coins save the kingdom!

Is there anything more spooky then Killer Chambers?

Some minor fixes this week, but there's a new supported OS!
Now Killer Chambers can be played on Linux too! 🐧

NEW STUFF

• Linux support.

FIXES

• fixed some typos in the dialogues
  
• fixed missing ambient sounds in the Forge

I had to fiddle a bit with the controls to make sure the gamepad is working out of the box on Linux and now it works as it should with Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers both wired and wireless.
If you have a different kind of controller and something is off please write us in the forums, we'll sort it out!

As always for any idea, suggestion or if you have any other issue don't hesitate to write in the forums! 👋🏻😉

This week updates include a nice new feature in the works for some time: Cloud Saving!
The migration to the new save system is completely automatic and silent, you don't need to take any action. Now you can take your hardships in the Royal Palace on any PC you own!
As for the rest here's what you'll find in the latest version.

NEW STUFF

• Steam Cloud Support.
  
• New save system (the save is located in "%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/KillerChambers" if you want to manually backup it).
  
• Built the executable to properly run on x86 machines.
  
• Per-level death counter added on game UI (just over the currently equipped hat slot).
  
• Coins and gems will now be auto-collected 3 seconds after they dropped.

FIXES

• Loading should be now faster on slower machines.
  
• Fixed some more rare bugs in the passage levels.
  
• Small STRAW HAT (teleport) related fixes.
  
• Fixed a bug in which two Curse Rooms appeared on the map!
  
• Fixed a bug involving the RUBGY HELMET and the last boss.

For any idea, suggestion or if you have any issue don't hesitate to write in the forums! We're pretty quick to respond! 😉

After the Day-2 patch a lot of small refinements and fixes were constantly added during the past few days. Here's the highlights of what's new and what's fixed!

NEW STUFF

• Added in the system menu the option to lock the game at 60fps.
  
• Added a "deaths worldwide" counter in the title menu.
  
• Added support for the HD+ resolution (1440x900).
  
• When you pick up the end level key, if you have missed any coins (dropped with the Top Hat ability) the game now picks them up for you automatically.
  
• Fendrel now is more generous and gives you double the amount of items for the same price as before, yay!

FIXES

• Fixed a bug where passage levels gave you two keys, making your life unacceptably easy!
  
• Fixed a bug that stopped the tea bag counter when getting down quickly from Mascarone.
  
• Fixed the passage levels patterns to prevent an easy solution skipping the opening dialogue and running before the trap are started.
  
• Small STOP WATCH related fixes.
  
• Re-balanced the difficulty of all coin (medium) and gem (hard) level variants in the Cellars!

Thanks to all the players that helped finding those pesky bugs and reported them in the discussion forums this week!! ❤

Here's what you'll find in the recent post-release updates:

• Added WASD and space as undocumented alternative keys to move and jump.
  
• On a gamepad you can now use the left bumper as a shortcut to quickly perform a mid-jump.
  
• Re-balanced the difficulty of the dreaded Curse Rooms!
  
• The easy difficulty of the last two rooms of the first world is re-balanced a bit too.

Stay tuned for further updates!
We are constantly refining the game here and there as we receive feedback.
