It's that time again and with more events like GDLX right around the corner we are here to deliver another small patch update for the demo build of VacuuBot! ✨

• Re-authored the icons for cosmetics based on new designs

• Re-authored toggle buttons to have clearer icons in Zen menu

• Robot now flashes ring light when low on power or when waste compartment is almost full

• Level complete card now displays rooms that have 0% cleaned

• Level complete card now reports scores for other objects that were collected i.e. bugs, dust bunnies, dirt etc.

• Added controls menu to main menu and pause menu where you can see information about

  the game controls and their inputs

• Improved visuals of the level stars in various screens

• Stations now give or take higher amounts on successful quick-time events

• Station quick-time events on PC now use letters instead of number keys

• Improved "no items" text in the cosmetics menu

• Cosmetics screen now displays overall "unlocked / locked" instead of a percentage

• Zen modes have been moved to their own dedicated screen in the main menu

• Fixed an issue with level progress corrupting from older game saves

• Fixed another level save flow issue based on build version

• Fixed de-sync issue between score and cleaning percentage

• Fixed interface incorrectly reporting cleaning values on different screens

• Fixed an issue when settings were opened in pause menu where backing out would skip straight back into the game

And that's all for now! This patch focuses on a lot of quality of life things that we've had reported to us from general feedback; we hope this improves the game for everyone 💖

'Till the next one!
