Game Update
Hello, everyone! This update for Treats Please! brings the game up to version 0.9b and contains several exciting new features. A new settings menu now contains the options toggle buttons and a few other items as well. In the new menu, you'll find a resolution button to easily change the game window resolution, a records area to show your best time and best score records, two new buttons to view the game info and credits screens, and a diagram for how to play the game with the keyboard (in addition to the mouse).
That's right, keyboard controls are now live! For those of you who have a numpad on their keyboard, it can be a great way to unleash a torrent of points. If you don't have a numpad, then don't worry. There are two additional layouts for those with smaller keyboard designs, too. Keyboard controls are listed in the options menu if you're curious. Each key from the three layouts represents one of the item spawn locations in the 3x3 grid. Press the corresponding key for each item in the layout to activate that item. The scratch and double-scratch abilities are activated with the bottom-most key in the layouts, which is either the zero key on the numpad or the spacebar. The spacebar is shared by two of the layouts.
All the keyboard layouts are active at the same time, and as a result, players can now team up on the same computer for local, co-op multiplayer games to get even higher scores. Unleash the fun chaos!
Resizable Window
Also, the game window may now be scaled to fit almost any screen size available. It even works well on ultrawide monitors. The window can be stretched and maximized to your heart's content, but keep in mind you may see harmless graphical glitches at extremes. In addition to all that, I fixed several bugs and made a few adjustments to the game code to make it all more efficient and reliable. These are changes you likely won't notice, but it speaks for the evolution of the product for me.
Thank You
Here we are, at the end of another update post. I want to take the time to thank you all for trying the game, and I appreciate the helpful feedback and suggestions you've given me recently. I've used your input to craft a better, more fun game, and I hope it brings you joy. Thanks again.
