Hey heroes!
Loop Hero just landed on mobile, which means your world saving efforts no longer need to be limited to the time you spend on your PC.

The mobile version comes to you via our friends and partners at Playdigious and Four Quarters. Try the first chapter for free on iOS[t.co] and Android[t.co] and continue your endless adventure for just $6.99.

Please note that there are no cross-saves between PC and Mobile.

Patchnote of LoopHero v.1.155:

• hide game version string in Intro
• if exit the game during boss invasion and return again - boss portal music starts to play
• in the first dialog with final boss wrong sprite was drawn
• storm temple sometimes didnt work
• fix mistake in description of monster skill "Hardening"
• added to Witch hut decription about max potions decrease
• some ERMAK fixes

Added settings option: "Gamepad Mode".
If you turn it off, the game will stop looking for a connected gamepad.
For some users, the constant search for a gamepad prevented them from playing normally (in particular on Linux).
The option can also be switched at any time with the F8 key.

We apologize if the last update broke your game.

Hi all!
This is FourQuarters.

Some news to start:
Work on a major update stopped at 80% two months ago, but we will continue development soon.
Almost all graphics and code are finished, mostly texts/sounds/balance remain.

Also, so far, after the release of the version for Nintendo Switch, there have been a few fixes and now we decided to update the PC version along with them.
And also added support for gamepads!


Here is a list of exactly supported gamepads:

Windows:
- Any xInput (XBox and analogs)
- Sony DualShock 3/4 + Dualsence

MacOS:
- Sony DualShock 3/4
- XBox 360 controller
- Anything else is not guaranteed, as MacOS does not allow the game to change the mapping of connected gamepads.

Linux Ubuntu (other systems are not officially supported by Game Maker Studio):
- Sony DualShock 4
- There may be others, but it was not possible to check, since the virtual machine reacts strangely to connected gamepads.
- It is also likely that Linux users will need to install drivers for gamepads:
sudo apt-get install jstest-gtk
sudo apt-get install joystick

We will continue (as far as possible under the current conditions), work on updating!

P.S. If the gamepad buttons do not appear in the game, but the joystick itself works, then in the game settings in the 'Controller' tab in Steam, you need to disable the 'Steam input mode'.

• The game no longer freezes when opening the menu with ESC
• English sturdy stool description is now on english instead of french
• Minor fixes

• Fixed the "Gift of Blood" trait, now it does something except visual effects and sounds.
• Fixed the rogue trophy count and the "Old Scars" trait count zeroing after loading.
• The blood grove doesn't occasionally turn into oasis anymore.
• Fixed the time of any% speedrun stopping at the wrong moment.
• Other minor bugfixes.

Today, the brave adventurers at Four Quarters have revealed the first major update for Loop Hero, focusing on player feedback, quality of life improvements, new tiles and enemies.

New Features include:

• Save On The Go: The new update features an option to save and exit the game in the middle of an expedition, preserving your progress.
  
• Perks Deck: A new option that locks boss perks so they don't drop in the expedition perk pool.
  
• Speed Up: The speed button now includes up to 4x expedition speed and 2.5x battle speed.
  
• Inventory Management: Items can now be locked in the inventory by right-clicking on them.
  
• Deck Switching: Decks can now be switched in the cards, supplies, and perks menus.
  
• New Tiles, New Enemies: Three new tiles and three new enemies have been added to the game, but it’s up to heroes to find them...

In addition to the update, acclaimed video game documentarians Noclip recently released a film charting the creation of Loop Hero, from Ludum Dare game jam to Steam best seller.

It's Here!

We've decided to release QoL update v1.1 in Beta first to resolve any unforeseen consequences. We've tested it, of course, and resolved everything we've found, but we still might've missed something. Play at Your Own Risk!
It may be problematic to return to the public v1.013 version with a beta save, so PLEASE, COPY YOUR NEW V1.1 SAVE TO A DIFFERENT SLOT.
You can then return to v1.013, if you dislike the patch for some reason. *sharpens blade*

To access the Beta, right click Loop Hero in your Steam Library and go to Properties > Betas. Select "beta1.1" from the dropdown menu and Steam should queue the download.

1. In-Expedition Saves: As many of you asked, now the game saves in the expeditions if you quit. To resolve possible issues we've added:
   
   • Escape during battles! - Now you can escape to the camp right before the eyes of your enemies. You'll still lose as much loot as you would have if you died, but it's flashier.
     
   • Debug retreat and backup loading! - Now if you hold "load"/"continue" button in the main menu, you'll get two new buttons - "debug retreat" and "load backup". First allows you to abandon the expedition on that save and return to camp. But you will lose all your resources from that expedition, so use it in emergency cases only. And backup loads the previous version of your camp.
2. Expedition and Fight Speed Sliders: Now the speed changing button is a little different. It's a slider going from 1x-4x instead of a 1x-2x switch. There is also an option to change the fight speed, which you can turn on in the options menu. Although the game fighting system is balanced around the default 1x speed and you might risk not understanding what happens on higher speeds.
   
3. Decks: Now you can switch the card, item and trait deck, and have up to 4 of them. Oh, and by the way:
   
4. Perk Deck: Now there is a possibility to "turn off" the trait you get from bosses, so they aren't a hindrance if you changed your mind.
   
5. New Tiles and New Enemies: It's more interesting if you find out about them yourselves. We'll just say there's 3 of each.
   
6. Camp Item Stacks: Some camp items have a limit on an amount of same items that can be equipped at once.
   After a few days reading your comments on a stacking system, we decided that just limiting certain items is a bad idea on its own. Reverted it back. Will think about it more.
   
7. Now items can be locked in the inventory by right-clicking them, so they aren't destroyed when you get new equipment.
   
8. A lot of traits/enemy skills/parameters reworded for clearer indication of the effect.
   
9. A bunch of changes to the English and Russian texts, a lot of typos fixed, as well as some translation issues.
   
10. Some Minor Bugfixes.
    
11. Speedrun Mode:
    
    • Activating this will turn on the chapter timer which will always show during gameplay.
      
    • If you start a new game with the speedrun mode on, there will also be an "any%" timer, which shows the time of the entire walkthrough.

After some beta-testing (and probably a few updates), this will become fully public and replace the current v1.013 version.
