Hello again and thank you for your patience!
I was working on a very difficult to track rendering bug that made the screen blank on some machines. Once I got that working, an unfortunate mouse bug cropped up. I was finally able to track that down to an issue specific hardware set. On certain older, integrated Intel graphics chips, the mouse cursor location is not reported accurately to the game.
Fortunately this seems to be a fairly esoteric bug, only affecting a limited number of older laptops. Even more fortunately, playing with the keyboard or controller are both viable options if you should run into this bug on your machine. For everyone else, the mouse should still work perfectly well.
So now we are finally live with RCM3 Version 2!
Version 2 changes:
* I think that the new version looks even better than the old one, and I was able to fix several issues that were more difficult to wrangle before, such as a slight misalignment of the rows when they shifted.
* Due to several of the theme choices proving unnecessary and sometimes in pretty serious conflict, the many granular theme options were replaced with four preset theme packages.
* Scoring tweaks to improve combo performance.
* Individual match scores are now displayed briefly while adding to the overall score.
Please note that due to the nature of recreating the game in an entirely new game engine, save data cannot carry over to the new version, so upon updating, previous high scores and saved games will be lost.
Hopefully future changes will be easier to implement now that we've tracked down the major issues from the overhaul.
Planned changes for the future:
* A small help screen to briefly show new players how the game is played, as it is somewhat different than the most popular match-3 games.
* Scoring quick-reference.
* More themes and music.
Thank you for your patience! Please let me know if you have any feedback.
