We've been working on this big 1.5.0 update, and, even when we are still on it, we want to show you a little more about it.

More about this update on these links:

• Android version gameplay
• New Character and Stage on the works (Hydar and Qapaq's Stage)
• Sacrifice mode (Single Player)
• New graphics

Options and Accessibility

We've got two new options! But, we would like to explain all three, and their possible values.

1. Keyboard Style

Keyboard style lets you change the amount of keys each player will have to press on VS mode on Pyramidal Break for PC. This option is expected to be hidden in Pyramidal Break for Android.

•  Each Side

Each player gets a random key out of a specific pool of 13. Player 1's key will be selected randomly from the left side of the keyboard (QWERTASDFZXCV) and Player 2's key will be selected randomly from the right side of the keyboard (GBYHNULMIKOJP).

• F vs J (single key mode)

Player 1 must press F and Player 2 must press J. Those keys will not change during the match (this ignores the Rhythm configuration). We're aware that probably that will need a future update on selecting the specific keys, but we chose F and J since those keys are marked on every keyboard by standard. Even a blind person can play that way.

• Full Keyboard

The pool of 13 keys for each player on "Each side" mode, gets increased to a total of 26. Both players can get any letter on the keyboard. This means, that sometimes, Player 1 will have to press a key on the right side and Player 2 on the left side. You could call this a "twisting" mode. More player to player interactions are expected.

2. Rhythm

Rhythm lets you pick the amount of key presses that both players must do before the keys to press are changed randomly by the game. This option is ignored in the F vs J Keyboard Style. This option also works on the Android version, but changes the position of the panels instead.

•  Mashing

This is the standard option. Every 15 key presses by the two players combined, the game will change both keys to press.

•  Safe

This is the "break-less" Pyramidal Break's mode! You don't need to break the keyboard to play! Every single key press, the game will change both keys to press. This looks slower on gameplay but also way more strategic.

• Breaking

If you want to kill that keyboard, this is your option. Every 30 key presses, the game will change both keys to press. This is the most mashing you will be able to select for a key on Pyramidal Break. 

"This could be devastating, please be kind."

3. Exponential

The strength of the characters for them to push the other opponent can increase during battle! 

• Normal

If you select normal, the strength of both characters will increase a little by the more key presses you make.

• None

If you select none, the strength of both characters will not change by the amount of presses. You're on your own, pal!

• Chaos

If you select chaos, the strength of both characters will increase a lot by the amount of presses. This can become an authentic chaos.

Default

The default options are Each Side / Mashing / Normal. This is for the keyboard to be split in half, with a little bit of key mashing and a little exponential increase on strength. We believe these are the best options for a fun experience, but we wanted to give you the possibility to change them because some people want to play a different way, and some people couldn't be able to play otherwise, specially on terms of rhythm and keyboard layout.

More to come on next update! (v1.5.0)

Don't forget we're still working on all things mentioned, and also:

• A new character not revealed yet 
• A new stage not revealed yet 
• Key test mode.
• New title screen
• Español
• New Music, with each stage getting an exclusive one.
• Improved UI.

Expecting more for v1.6.0

Probably, we will need to add more options in the future, like disabling keys from the random pool, or selecting the  single key mode keys, but we will work on that depending on the demand for those kind of options.
