Strata: The Next Leap Forward (2D Speedrun Platformer Update)

We’re. So. Back. 

Hello Strata Players! It’s been a while. 

 I am extremely pleased to announce a new era for Strata. This update marks a pretty huge milestone in terms of quality and polish. In the coming days, I’ll be releasing a new devlog that I am extremely proud of. I won’t spoil anything yet, but I think it has the potential to do some pretty good numbers, which would almost certainly lead to another major influx of players. 

 Quality Improvements:

• BASICALLY ALL JANK GONE.
• Character sprite improvements for better game feel.
• Final Input System rework, everything just works now!
• MASSIVE performance improvements across the board. 700 FPS on my mid-range PC.
• The game now displays your Sum of Best. You can also reset your save file, making it incredibly easy to do full game speedruns.
• Linux is now supported. 

Content:

• Total Level count for the base game is now 6.
• Added a new Level for Patreon Supporters: VIP ZONE v.01
• Overall quality of Levels has improved massively, with new mechanics, new design philosophies, and a lot more sheer work put into making them as good as they can be.

New Speedrunning Ruleset: Seasons

• Whenever a major patch drops that nullifies the leaderboard, the current leaderboard will be archived and your place on the leaderboard for that season will be set in stone forever. 
• At the end of a Season, players will be scored based on their average leaderboard positions and a “Season Champion” will be declared. 

This update is live RIGHT NOW! Figured I’d give you a head start before my next mega-viral hit
