Update 0.27.0

March 13th, 2026.
This update is heavily focused on improving the accessibility of the game for impaired players, but also for regular players.
I understand many of the stylistic choices of Blades can be a bit much, and while I prefer players to play with default options if they can, I'm offering settings to allow for improved accessibility where I feel it's needed.
⚙ General Changes
- Added stereo sound support and surround sound support. You should now be able to hear where on screen character sounds are coming from during gameplay.
- You can now jump during roundstart.
- Added Critical Hits. The first hit of the game is critical, and so is every 10th hit after that on a consistent cycle.
- Reduced Kara Cancelling window.
- Increased width of notifications to make room for larger font.
⚙ Settings Menu
- Made settings menu more compact.
- Re-organized settings menu to make navigation easier.
- Added "Enlarge Small Text" option to settings menu.
- Added "Disable Blackletter" option menu for those who find blackletter hard to read.
- Add "Reduced Motion" option that completely disables all screen shake.
- Added "High Visibility" option that dims particles and backgrounds in-game, and disables rain.
💔 Cyanide
- All attacks are now a bit faster.
