Hi everyone!

I'll get right to it. The original price of Root Beer On Tap was high when compared to the amount of content present in the game. Therefore, the game's price has been permanently reduced by 50 percent, making it just $5.99 USD! I believe this new price more accurately reflects the scope and content of the game, throughout both Early Access and full release.

IMPORTANT - To those who bought the game at a higher price. First off, thank you so much for picking up the game and trying it out. I sincerely appreciate your support, and really can't thank you enough. As a token of my gratitude to you supporters of the game, I'd like to make you a promise. You will receive every future game developed by Hypernoodle Games for free, via a key sent to you via email. All I need from you who already purchased the game is two things. First, I need you to send me an email at jon@hypernoodlegames.com. I will keep your email address on record for the sole purpose of sending you keys to games in the future. Your email address will never be used for any other purpose.

Second, I need you to prove your purchase of the game prior to Dec. 16th, 2019. The best way to do this is to open Steam, go to Steam Support under the Help menu in the top bar, find Root Beer On Tap, and take a screenshot of the purchase date. Please include this screenshot in your email. You can crop it as is shown below. Mine says "Added to your Steam Library", but yours will list a purchase date.

Thank you for understanding, and thank you so much for picking up the game in it's early days of Early Access.

Alright, in addition to that announcement, Root Beer On Tap has been updated with the following changes:

• Created new input binding files for any controller that has a thumbstick. this increases the deadzone for teleporting and should make it easier to crawl-teleport forward into a level without accidentally popping left or right instead.
  
• Fixed crawl teleport placing the player in a possibly incorrect position after recentering or when using the "grow" mode.
  
• Pressing the "grow" button now requires holding the button for a third of a second. This will hopefully prevent the button accidentally being pressed while the main menu loads. The button has also been changed to a physical one like the rest of the arcade cabinet, instead of a faked-physics button like the pause menu.
  
• A prompt to always use wrist straps has been added to the first screens of the game. Safety first!

That's all for now. As always keep the feedback coming, it is always appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Root Beer On Tap has been updated! here's what's changed:

• Support for lefties! You will be prompted to select your throwing hand from the main menu arcade screen when starting the game. Choosing left-handed will cause all root beer barrels to spawn to the player's right, leaving more space to throw with your left hand. Lefties let me know how this goes, I'm curious how it'll feel playing the game with the root beer barrels on the same side of the player as the customers.
  
• An options menu has been added to the main menu. Here you can change your throwing hand setting, as well as change the level of throw assist. "Full" is the default and will be the best experience for everyone, other options are there for amusement but are not recommended.
  
• Grow/shrink button on the main menu arcade cabinet. Those who are having significant trouble reaching the top of the counters or main menu controls can hit the grow button, which will increase the scale of the player throughout the game. I'm looking for feedback on whether or not the current player scale is too drastic for its purpose, so feedback on this is very appreciated.
  
• Various small lighting changes.

That's it for this week! Thanks for taking a look!
