Release notes for every published version of Arclo.

1.0

Initial public release.

Gameplay

One-tap swing arcade: tap to swap the anchor orb and fling the pair forward through a run of gates.
Two distinct physics modes, tracked separately: Orbit (constant-spin swing) and Pendulum (gravity swing).
A chasing void that pushes back when you clear a gate and surges when you miss one.
Ten difficulty tiers. Tiers 1 to 3 are free; tiers 4 to 10 unlock with a single one-time purchase.
A learn-one-at-a-time mechanic ladder: big turns, moving gates, drifting hazards, spin-flips and tether zones, barriers, fly-ins, and pulsing gates, combining in the top tiers.
Endless levels: each cleared level generates a slightly harder next one.
Rare floating power-ups: Wide Gates (gates widen briefly), Shield (absorbs one non-void hit), and Freeze (stops moving gates and hazards while the void keeps coming).
Clean-streak scoring: consecutive clean gates build a multiplier; a miss resets it, so flawless runs score far higher.
A run timer and a saved best time for each level.

Orientation and controls

Orbit plays horizontally or vertically, or follows your device automatically.
Full hardware-keyboard support: Space to swap, Enter to continue, Esc to pause or go back, number keys to pick a tier.

Audio

Original instrumental synthwave soundtrack that plays through the songs with crossfades, with separate gameplay and menu pools.
Independent on/off and volume for sound effects and music, plus an option to start a fresh song each run or keep the soundtrack continuous.
A built-in Soundtrack Player (with the full game) to browse and play every track, with a scrub bar and at full device volume.
