California, USAHello again everyone! Bebop and Tempo has just been updated to v1.1. I have taken many user requests into consideration and added a few things. The first major change is how the game flows. I added a new combo system that increase your speed for each enemy that you destroy. There will be a new indicator of your speed at the bottom left side of the screen and a small combo timer to the left of the character. The combo system opens the door for new speed run strategies.
There is also a new ghost system that will show your previous attempts and where you previously died. You can restart the level by pressing F2 or the Menu button on an Xbox control to clear the ghost data.
Every time you destroy an enemy you will receive one coin. The coins will be collected when you complete each level. Coins can be redeemed in the new Shop for costumes and special effects.
Last but not least, Window Mode has been added. You can enter and exit this mode by pressing F4.
Bebop and Tempo will be on sale in Steam at a very discounted price for two weeks. The sale will start this week!
@strawberrymilk sure, that timing preference is fine. I am working on a new update to push out soon. I will start working on a windowed mode!
The timer should begin as soon as soon as you enter adventure mode, and for 100%, the timer should end at the Thanks for Playing screen.
Thank you @strawberrymilk (reading your name always makes me want strawberry Nesquick...) I headed over to the forum for Bebop and Tempo and started a thread to help kick off some runs. http://www.speedrun.com/Bebop_and_Tempo/forum

Thanks to everyone for your interest in Bebop and Tempo. I recently submitted a 100% save file for reference. Spoiler Alert!There are a few secrets in the 100% save file so play at your own risk.
Here are a few more Steam Keys to kick off some runs. How's about seeing some Rainbow Palm Cove Boss Runs, all fruit? If you happen to take a key please reply and say which key you have taken so others know :)
For those of you who don't game on PC or Mac, hang tight. The Xbox One version will be coming soon. Most of all, have fun everyone!

Hey Kameron9291! Thanks for the interest. I will be starting a new discount for the Xbox One Launch and an end of summer sale on Steam. I would appreciate everyone's feedback and response in the survey below. Thanks! :)
Hey Jackson421, thanks for coming by the booth. I had a great time! Hey don't be afraid to post any runs. I made the game and I still posted videos of myself dying multiple times...I am sure my techniques aren't the best either... still had fun making the video though. Keep me posted on any runs, whether you make a video or not!
@Kwame Yes, there a few clips that I put up myself on Youtube. Here is a clip of an unedited attempt at 100% completing level 12, Area 1. You can take each level at a slower, more casual pace, but getting a low timer count will require fast reaction time and precision with attacking, jumping, and dodging.
Once all of the enemies are destroyed, the exit door opens leading to the next level. The enemy counter at the top left indicate how many enemies remain in that level and the counter below that, the fruit counter, indicates how many fruit remain in that level. The fruits are optional and require more precision and skill to collect them in the various levels. Collecting all of the fruits earns you a star for that level. Collecting stars throughout the game unlock additional levels, leading to the games true ending.
Hey Melisajones! I would love to see you try it!
Here is a video of myself attempting a boss run through the first area.
Welcome Skyrodin! I hope you enjoy Bebop and Tempo. If you, or anyone, manage to 100% I would love to hear about it through the forums here or any social media. If you have a buddy around do try the VS mode with 1 balloon and no enemies. Those are my favorite settings for VS mode, so many mind games...
Hey Soru! Thanks for the welcome. I sent you a message via Steam.
As for everyone else, I would love to have you try Bebop and Tempo! I just received some more Steam Keys. Please use only one and save the rest for others. Have fun!
