Another update to the closed beta! If you're interested in joining the beta, ping me on Discord.
Notable changes in this release include...
A built in timer (tracks total time per level as well as segmented runs.) You can turn the timer UI in Options > Game > Timer, and view the stats screen from the pause menu. Segmented runs are shown by switching tabs on the stats screen.
A number of inadvertent solutions to the secrets that were easier than the intended ones were also removed, and one of the intended secrets was made more difficult.
Full Release Notes
- Added timers for speed runners. The game now counts your total time in each level, as well as a segmented time when you play a level from beginning to end, and includes a stats screen and ranking that shows totals and best of.
- Fixed a problem where the hovered object could flicker back and forth between near objects (most recent hover now gets slight priority)
- Discovered an alternate, more challenging solution to one of the secrets, modified the secret to make that solution required & increased the difficulty (for those that want to replay it: it's the looped secret)
- Fixed an issue in some crab puzzles involving teleporters left on between puzzles
- Fixed a bug where secrets were not counted in a very specific situation
- Fixed a problem where an end game crab puzzle was easier than intended because the crab couldn't make the jump to a ledge it was supposed to be able to reach
- Removed a number of inadvertent solutions to the secrets that were much easier than the intended solutions
- Fixed a problem where an end game puzzle had an alternate solution that was very timing sensitive but easier to see than the "correct" solution
- Improved readability of the intro color/undo UI
- Fixed some camera glitches
- Fixed a puzzle that you could solve without getting Snowcrab out and then reset to get Snowcrab back
- Fixed a bug where solved secret items could move and become unreachable after exiting to the main menu then returning to the game
- Shows more controls in game, but also provides an option to turn them off
Thanks for all the feedback!
Cheers,
Mason
