Beat Banger update for 2 March 2024

Achievements and a bunch of other quality-of-life changes are here! They're still a work in progress, so bear with us as we work out all the bugs and kinks.

Stat Tracking (Beta)

Beat Banger will start tracking stats like how many levels you've played to aid in unlocking achievements. These stats only start tracking your achievement progress when we add them to the game's code, So the number of levels you've beaten, for example, will only now start being recorded and stored in your saved data!

Mod Downloading (Beta)

You can now download mods from online! The best site to use for this is bbooru.fun. You can copy the download link of the mod you wish to download and paste it into the mod menu to download. Note that only zip files work with the built-in mod extractor, so check the link you've copied to ensure it's compatible. Dragging and dropping files into your mods folder still works. Use that to download any mods that aren't zip files.

Mod Exporting (Beta)

The level creator now allows you to export your completed mods as zip files! This feature will ensure you always have your mod correctly formatted for automatic downloads and drag-and-drop extraction! We'll soon add more level creation features that simplify modpack creation, so stay tuned for more updates!

We've added a lot more polish and visual improvements as well! We'll continue trying to make Beat Banger the best it can be!
