Added particle effects when clearing layers Added option for effects Added 6 new blocks and challenges
- Centrist (V1.18) - 20 May 2024
Added bag system for block selection, meaning each block type is guaranteed to appear eventually.

- Centrist (V1.11) - 12 March 2024
Some people did not like default keybindings for gamepad so gamepad controls are now rebindable. "A" will remain as selection button even if you change rotate button to something else. First song didn't have much time play compared to other songs since difficulties change much faster during early game so second song now starts slightly later. Also difficulty 7 didn't feel fast enough to match intensivity of 3rd song so it will now starts at difficulty 8. Gamepad controls are now rebindable Added restart button as rebindable button Second song now starts at difficulty 5 instead of 4 Third song now starts at difficulty 8 instead of 7 Fixed healthbar outline
- Centrist (V1.10) - 21 February 2024
Quick follow up update addressing some issues that have been brought up. Scores are now displayed in form "123,456" instead of "123456". I tried out with space between numbers, but i ended up liking comma style more. Scores are now displayed with comma to make them more easily readable Cursor is now hidden if you don't move mouse for 5 second (Unless you are playing with mouse controls or game is paused) Fixed incorrect rotate button displayed in game mode selection when playing with gamepad
- Centrist (V1.09) - 20 February 2024
In classic mode collapse mechanic often shuffled blocks in unexpected ways and there wasn't any time to react since blocks started falling immediately after layers were cleared. Falling timer is now resetted after layers are cleared to give player some time to react to changes. Added quit and restart buttons to game over screen. There is small delay before buttons can be pressed. (Mainly to prevent accidental selections when playing with mouse controls or gamepad) Falling timer is now resetted after layers are cleared Added quit and restart buttons to game over screen Fixed steam community screenshots not working (screenshot can be taken with F12) Fixed difficulty not updating after using flame Previously played game mode is now selected as first option in game mode selection and leaderboards

(Added error sound and overlapping key will appear as red) Arrow keys can no longer be selected as key bindings unless it matches direction Restart button is now changed if R is used as key binding for other functions Fixed translations with "Press R to restart" and "Blocks can be rotated with Space"
