Rockjack Version 0.3.2 Update

ROCKJACK RELEASE NOTES

version 0.3.2 - 2021-02-07 Sun

This is a minor update with a few quality of life fixes and a minor new feature which I liked implementing.

Player-visible changes

  • Added tabs to the Options screen. The options screen was getting pretty crowded, so I broke it into tabs with a selector up top.
  • Added a Geiger counter to the game. Your ship is now equipped with a Geiger counter which will click near radioactive or exotic asteroids. There is no impact on gameplay, but I think it's cool and adds some atmosphere to the game.
  • Added jump-to-section buttons to the tutorial. Their behavior is still pretty rough and I will need to spend some time improving that, but they work pretty well already.
  • Added a reminder to the player that if you have the reverse time powerup, and you pick up another reverse time powerup, the powerup is cancelled (because two negatives make a positive!)
  • Made some performance improvements. I'll need to do yet another performance pass soon to hunt for places which aren't well-optimized.
