After 3 years of developing, out of which almost 2 years in Early Access, Bloody Trapland 2: Curiosity is now finally officially released!

We are so excited, hope to see you all in the Traplands!

/Chris and the Trapland team

The time has finally come!
Patch 1.0 will go live at 10.00am PST today, 1st February.


All traps and objects will now react to your position in the world and play sound accordingly for more immersion. We've also added a lot of new sounds to all levels to improve the experience further.

Settings have been tweaked uniquely to match each world better. Previously this was only the case for Jungle world. All the other worlds now have a new look to them.

We have both made them feel more smooth by lowering the input delay next to none, and tweaked the mechanics to make them feel more tight overall. One big thing we have been struggling with in the past is making the walljump feel just right. We are now very happy with it!

A cross the board we have increased the performance for high/mid and low end.
We are thrilled to announce that Integrated graphics cards now are in our recommended minimum tier. (30fps ).

A whole new options menu have been added making it super easy for us to take any future request you may have and implement.
On top of this we have also added some already requested options settings like "skip worldmap", "no player flash when jump", "vsync" and others.

We totally reworked the death effects to feel and look better.

All levels have gotten a retouch of sort, some very minor, some major. Some improving game feel, some visuals, some fixing previous issues.

It was very much needed.

Players will now be ranked according to lowest amount of deaths on all levels in combined. To climb the list, go back to a previous level and lower your death count. Then go beat the cave boss again to have your score recalculated. (Players who previously were on the list in EA will be highlighted, this will be implemented once we have more names on the list).

We have also been squashing tons of bugs with this patch.
Here's a hand pick of some, though we have of course fixed many more:

• Invite player issues.
  
• Coin count mismatch online.
  
• Collecting coins in online.
  
• Crystal cost for activating beams.
  
• Controllers lag in player select screen.
  
• Trails not syncing correct online.
  
• Buttons not syncing correct online.
  
• Region wrong in lobby.
  
• Hall of fame not triggering for client online.
  
• Menu screen overlapping at rare occasions.
  
• Invite screen menu getting stuck.
  
• Connect to region failed du to being between certain regions (RU/RUE).

We really hope that you will enjoy these new improvements. Pleas let us know your thoughs on them.

See you in the Traplands!

The final countdown has started! There are only 4 days left until the big release on Friday 1st, and we hope you are as excited as we are.

Our release trailer is now up too, go check it out!

We’d also like to remind you that once Bloody Trapland 2 is released, the price will go up to $19,99/ €16,49, so now it is your last chance to get the game for the Early Access price. Don’t forget that when you buy the game on Early Access, you will also get the future Candy World DLC for free.

See you in the Traplands!

As time is moving rapidly towards release we wanted to bring you a quick brief on what's currently in the workings and what is coming up.

We have finished all localizations that we had originally planed. Both for Steam's store page and in game. This includes both requested languages as well as those where we've seen a high player count. We now have full support for:

• English.
  
• Hungarian.
  
• Japanese.
  
• Finnish.
  
• Russian.
  
• Swedish.
  
• French.
  
• Italian.
  
• German.
  
• Spanish.
  
• Polish.
  
• Simplified Chinese.

We've had help of natives to translate for all languages. But as we don't master most of these languages ourselfs, please let us know if you see anything that you feel needs correction. And a huge thank you to all that helped us out with these translations already!

We have in the past been releasing smaller patches every day/week to make sure to bring you the absoult latest content at all times. Though we only officially announced them later in a summary every month or so.

But as you might have noticed we have now instead elected to hold back even with the smaller patches to instead bring you something more special for 1.0.

A lot of work has and still is going in to this one and we are super excited to soon be able to show you the final polish patch, giving you the complete Trapland 2 experience as we envisioned it.

A new trailer is currently also in the workings, expect it to drop within a week or so!

As our early days in Early Access had more issues than we ever accounted for, our review state did end up taking a beating. We have however always been as fast as we can in fixing any issues that have been brought to our attention, but sadly it's usually too late as most players don't revise their reviews once posted.

We humbly ask you to revise your reviews if you've previously experienced any issues.
And also please consider leaving a review if you not yet have. We would greatly appreciate it.

The review rating is of course very important to us and plays a big part in getting new players to dive in to the Traplands.

We are also still open to any suggestions or feedback you might have. Come join us for a chat in Discord: https://discord.gg/YSuqDvk

See you in the Traplands!

Hello fellow Traplanders!
After more than three years of development, we are happy to finally bring you an official release date.


Being in Early Access has been a very interesting time for us, we have gained a lot of insights both on what we did right and what we could have done differently. And looking back at it now, it's safe to say that we probably should have delayed the initial release a bit longer as our early days saw way more issues than we ever expected. And being as small team as we are, fixing the issues at the same time as adding new content took it's sweet time.

But in terms of how the game turned out in the end, it's truly been a game changer. And we are super happy with what the game has become.

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank all of you that have been a part of this ride, all the feedback you've provided us has had a real impact on the game.
Thank you!

As a token of our appreciation, we will be giving everyone who bought the game in Early Access the first DLC, Candy World for free. We will start working on it soon after release, more on this once we have more details to share.

We will also be upping the price to €16.99 / $19.99 and equivalent in other currencies on release day.

As for the days leading up to release we are still polishing up some last things and we are super excited to soon be able to show you the improvements.

See you in the Traplands!

Patch 0.995:

• Online mode added for Challenge.
  
• Added new UI for worldmap. UI now recognizes and changes according to what input you are using (keyboard/xbox/ps).
  
• Major change to the dash and slide ability. Timing requirement for doing a "max dash" has been removed. This to make it feel more consistent. However, to get the max output in terms of length, a max jump will still be required as you will reach longer. But the power of the dash will always be the same.
  
• Slide will now be performed in the direction the character is looking even if standing position. Regardless of the move direction input.
  
• Dash will now be performed regardless of the move direction input. Exception being when dashing out from a wallslide state.
  
• Further tweaks were made to walljump to prevent climbing the same wall.
  
• Further improvements were made to the player animations to make it feel smoother.
  
• New network code for boulders and various trap prefabs, making them look and feel smoother in online play.
  
• Fix for gold coin achievements not triggering if they were previously picked up.
  
• Fixed an issue with boulders causing fps drop when hitting the ground.
  
• Fixed a network issue with Boomtraps for clients, making them stutter just as they would hit the ground.
  
• Fixed Dashing with Right Bumper. Also added Left Trigger and Left Bumper as Dash alternatives.
  
• Level 3-6 got some minor visual fixes.
  
• Level 3-4 Goal hitbox made bigger.
  
• Fix for wall-dashing power sometimes coming out short on controller.
  
• Fixes were made to Steam invites, as it sometimes did not work properly.
  
• Fix for going back from worldmap in singleplayer could cause the menu level to load in as a black background.
  
• Fix for dash jump sfx not triggering when not moving in a direction.

Big announcement to be made 22th December!

See you in the Traplands!
