Today's post is brought to you by Blue Kobold!

Well, well, would you look at the time! And by time, I mean date. And by date, I mean the end of the month. There’s been a mountain of tweaking, fixing, cleaning, and behind-the-scenesin’ here at BunFan and on Beat Banger. If you’re interested in the details, check out the changes below. If you’re not, feel free to grab the latest build.

Pointshop

As those who have been tuning in to the work streams know, we have a new character. Meet Jasmine, the shopkeeper. If you want to spend your hard-earned cash on extra lives, levels, songs, or pics for the gallery, she’s your gal. But songs? Pics? How can I use such features? Well, if you navigate over the Extras menu, you can find out!

The "Gallery" and "Sound Test" rooms will hold extra content for your viewing/listening pleasure. We'll have many wonderful images in the gallery coming soon. You can listen to music unlocked in the point shop or throughout the game in the Soundtest room.

UI Overhaul

Efforts were made to make the UI cleaner and more readable. It can be a competition for your eyes to try to hit all the notes and watch the action, which is why all UI elements have been made more readable. Beats now shine so you can better see them from your peripheral vision. The in-game UI is larger and skewed to sit closer to the center of the screen. All in all, it’s easier to track what’s going on without taking your eyes off the animations.
