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 and Android 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.

[u]Some news to start:[/u]
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):
- [u]Sony DualShock 4[/u]
- 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:
[i]sudo apt-get install jstest-gtk
sudo apt-get install joystick[/i]

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'.

Added 4 languages - Italian, Dutch, Turkish and Canadian French
Fixed the game crashing when opening the save menu window
Fixed the game crashing after deleting the current save and then immediately starting new game in that save
Fixed the ratwolves not spawning sometimes
The game now cannot save when the hero is dead
Count's Land's healing information is now displayed correctly
Fixed the posteffects shader turning off spontaneously
Fixed the fps drop at the first tile on the loop
Small fixes

The "Witch hut" tile is reworked, now each one decreases max amount of potions by 1
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.
• Escape From Battle: Safety-conscious heroes can now escape during battles with 30 percent of their resources.
• 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 two new enemies have been added to the game, but its up to heroes to find them...
  

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 V1.1.0 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.
