Performance Concern
First and foremost, we're sorry if you have encountered any performance issues. We'll be updating the demo pretty soon to rectify some of the issues players are having. The issues mostly are from the AMD side. We realized that all the developers have only been working on Intel CPUs & Nvidia GPUs, so we bought parts and built a "100% AMD min-spec machine" to ensure compatibility.
- AMD 3200G
- RX 570
Interestingly enough, we were able to get the game running (albeit slowly) on the 3200G's Vega 8 integrated GPU. While we weren't targeting APUs, we'll see if we can't figure out some magic sauce to get the min specs much lower.
Fullscreen Mode Crash
Some players are encountering crashes when setting the game to fullscreen mode. The issue has been fixed, it will be in the next update.
General Tips
Next up is some general tips and tricks that we didn't advertise and/or players may rush through the first level's tooltips too fast.
- To enter the boss level in the standard game mode, you need to meet the minimum paw requirement that is earned with faster times in level completion
- If you don't want to earn paws, you can simply go into the Settings menu and enable Casual Mode
- Bunny hopping, especially while dashing, is a great way to earn faster times after you've learned how to beat the puzzles in each level
- Currently, each rainbow coin you collect decreases your overall time by .5 seconds
- Currently, each super(bright) coin you collect decreases your overall time by 1 second
PAX South
We'll be showcasing the game at PAX South 2020 next month Jan 17-19 at Booth 22036. It'll be a special version of the demo playing there. So stop by and say hi and play the demo!
