Greetings Dodgers!
It has been a busy couple of months, but I'm proud to finally be able to bring the first music update for Soundodger 2. We've doubled both the amount of songs as well as levels, so rest assured there's a lot to dodge here. A new bullet called ripple is being introduced, a new bloom effect is ready to blind you (hopefully not), and a slew of fun additions and fixes have found their way into the editor.
Here are your new musicians this round:
- Graham Kartna - chiltonWALK.temp
- Popskyy - Can't Dodge My Love!
- Sferro - Modular Origami (feat. Mecha Maiko)
- Julie Buchanan - Talk About It
- (I'm the 5th musician, hi) - Sophomore Slump
There's lots more listed below in the full changelog, so have at it!
Happy Dodging,
Bean
