New modes added! “Endless Encore Mode” & “Speed Run Modes” added!

Enjoy chasing high scores on the endless leaderboards? Get ready for the new “Endless Encore Mode”, a fast-paced challenge randomly composed from features of the previous Encore Chapters update.

This mode is free for all users!

An all new Speed Run menu has been added. Replay any completed story modes: Story, Epilogue or Encore and do so as quickly as possible. Be warned: the game speeds up while you speed run and if you fail you will lose momentum. Glory awaits whoever can achieve a perfect run.

Last but not least, new automagic screenshot sharing: every now and then your coolest -- possibly most frustrating! -- moments will be automatically captured ready for sharing with your favourite services: Twitter, Facebook… you name it. Spread the word on Duet.

Be mesmerised again. Duet has been updated with a brand new “epilogue” chapter.

This is our biggest update since launch, the new epilogue includes:
- Over 40 new incredible stages with all-new features and narrative.
- Four new off-the-wall game mechanics that will expand your mind.
- Jojo Petrina returns to voice every stage of the epilogue experience.

- Added Traditional Chinese and Indonesian localizations.

Forget everything you thought you knew about Duet and prepare yourself for another splatter filled quest for understanding.

Thanks again for all your fantastic reviews, the feedback to Duet has been extraordinary and we love all of you. Keep an eye out for our next update, we’ll be adding even more Twitch to this twitchy game of ours.

iPad 1 and iOS 5 support restored! Sorry to everyone that could not continue their “Duet addiction” over the past week!

Due to a bug with the Quickening leaderboard in the previous update we have split the Quickening finesse scores between two boards: Quickening Part 1 and Quickening Part 2. The former tracks Quickening I, II and III. The latter tracks Quickening IV, V, VI.

A small but significant bug with the collision detection was introduced in the last update which has now been rectified. Stage Bargaining IV should now be perfectible again. Thank you Curi42 and AW Prince for your help on solving this!

Also, don’t forget to try listening to the new voice acting from the previous update. Duet soundtrack composer Tim Shiel has collaborated with friend and musician Jojo Petrina to create the voice of Duet - all narrative lines in the game are now spoken in English. Voice over can be disabled in settings if you prefer.

We realise a lot of you just reviewed version 1.2.0 but if you have time please consider reviewing this “bug fix focused” update! Enjoy.

** We're aware of a bug with this update for 1st Generation iPads. We have a fix we'll be releasing as soon as possible!

Say Hello to The Voice. Duet soundtrack composer Tim Shiel has collaborated with friend and musician Jojo Petrina to create the voice of Duet - all narrative lines in the game are now spoken in English.

We’ve added a variety of new extreme challenges to Duet’s B-Side:
- “Revolution”, a set of challenges focused on spinning and twisting blocks. You will lose control.
- “Quickening”, includes extremely fast but quick challenges.
- “Resilience”, is focused on longer challenges that are endurance based. If Quickening is a sprint then Resilience is a marathon.
- “Transcendence”, originally part of the A-Side. These stages have been relocated and expanded with an additional challenge.

All new challenges include Game Center achievements as well and new finesse leaderboards.

The difficulty of the final Acceptance stages have been tweaked. Acceptance VI has been relocated to the new Resilience area and replaced with a brand new Acceptance VI stage that is more appropriate for the player’s skill at that point.

If you’ve already achieved ‘perfection’ in Acceptance VI you will keep that ‘perfection’ badge in the new challenges.

Lastly, some bug fixes and a new option to toggle the vocal narration on or off.

Enjoy and please review the update if you have time.
