• Improved Gamepad and Touchscreen support - 12 June 2024

  Hi, with this patch the controller support has been completely overhauled. This primarily leads to these changes: Improved compatibility with the Steam Input API. In other words, if your gamepad did not work previously, it hopefully does now Better names for gamepad buttons. E.g. "left shoulder" instead of "Button 4" The touchscreen support now also works on the Steam Deck If your Gamepad doesn't work after this patch, there might be some incompatible settings left over within your Steam configuration. I cannot change these settings myself, because they are intended to override the settings I make as the developer. But you can change them quite easily. This post will show you how: https://steamcommunity.com/app/529950/discussions/0/4338735730270082776/ If there are any more problems, gamepad related or otherwise, please let me know with a forum post.

• Tutorial, Descriptions, Scores - 22 December 2017

  12 orbits now has a tutorial, and even if you have played before, I recommend giving it a try. The controls were not explained perfectly before, so there may be something new for you to see. If the phrase “dodging dodges everything” doesn't make sense to you, definitely play the tutorial. You'll also find the descriptions for the current game mode, and the current controls, in the pause menu from now on. And to give you a better idea of what to do in the practice modes, the scores are now shown while you play. This probably isn't the most exiting update for veteran 12 orbits players, but it was a very necessary one. You'll see that if you want to play with non-gamer family members over the holidays :-)

• 12 new Languages - 3 May 2017

  In addition to English and German, 12 orbits now comes in Arabic, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Spanish (European and Mexican). The translations seem to work well so far. But of course I can't speak all of them, which makes it hard to check everything. Should you stumble upon any errors, please tell me here.
