EXTREMELY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE READ


It has come to my attention that Unity, the engine Acceleroll is made on, has a severe engine-level exploit. It is an RCE exploit which means an attacker can remotely execute code on your machine.

However, Unity thankfully has provided a patch. And today I published a patch for all versions of Acceleroll (Windows 1.0.0/2.0.0 and macOS 0.2.0). The safe versions going forward are:

Windows: 1.0.1 and 2.0.1

macOS: 0.2.1

Q: Is my machine in danger?

A: As far as we know, no attacker has used this exploit, it was discovered by a security researcher. However, now the exploit is known and will likely be used. So I highly advise deleting the previous version of Acceleroll and downloading the new hotfix. Acceleroll also makes registry changes with it's saving system, these should be safe, however if you are still worried, when you download the hotfix, you can go to options and clear your save data. This removes every trace of it. Make sure you update as soon as possible, unlike platforms like Steam I can't push an update to all users, you have to take responsibility to update it.

Q: Is this an issue with just Acceleroll or is it all Unity games?

A: All Unity games after 2017 are affected, developers must take responsibility to update their games. This unfortunately was out of my control, as it's engine level. I can't promise the safety of other games currently, however the new Acceleroll hotfix is almost certainly safe.

Q: What platforms are affected?

A: Primarily macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android. WebGL and console platforms should be okay. My other game Trail & Trade should still be safe to play as it's WebGL. macOS and Windows do provide security features to prevent this but I can't make any promises that your OS will keep it safe.

Q: I want to read more about the exploit where can I find it?

A: Technical information is available here, although it mostly applies to developers not players:

Stay safe everyone, and keep enjoying Acceleroll with the new hotfix.

Iteration 2, a vaporwave theme? This might clash with an idea I have later in the game.

A checkpoint system was suggested to me, so I programmed this quick checkpoint system in with a shader as well.

Iterating on some designs for the volleyball secrets. I want to go for something weird/otherworld-y and very video game-y. I didn't really like the magenta sky and sandstone blocks. Wasn't vibing with me.

It will only support Xbox controllers natively.

Target is getting a huge rework. I basically rewrote the movement code from scratch. You now have to actually fly and steer to score. It also makes multipliers harder.

Have you ever been playing a game and wished you were playing as a different character? Either as a joke or because you love a specific character. One might turn to mods or fan projects, but what if you could just change the character in game like paint?

Been working on polishing the character creator, I'm having too much fun lol. For legal reasons this is a joke, and this character will not be shipped with the game. The character creator sorta just works.

In the new mode you can find an updated variant of the desert levels! Thick sandstorms, howling winds, fog, limited visibility. Can you make it to the goal safely?

Merry Christmas to those who Celebrate! (Not a teaser, just a small celebration scene)

It's here! The largest update yet. Includes 8 ball pool, fishing, a sandbox mode, and a hard mode! (+ Many fixes and QOL) Patch notes below.
