In this update, we’ve added some quality-of-life improvements, but most importantly, we’ve made a lot of optimizations to the game. Thanks to this, Potato Mode 🥔 now looks much better and feels less like Potato Mode 🥔!
Main changes and fixes:
- Optimized tile rendering.
- Improved the on-screen element rendering queue improving drawing optimisation by an average of 20%
- Changed the way the pillars on which the tiles are placed are drawn, so they can display in Potato Mode 🥔.
- Changed the look of the toggle buttons so that you can see if it is on or off.
- Added a pulsing effect to tiles when 10 or fewer remain.
- They pulse even more intensely when 3 or fewer remain.
- Improved the level selection view that you can now preview the map before playing it. These were the last graphics in the code with the prefix test_*.
- Updated the appearance of challenge medals.
- This change allowed us to add point values, lengths, and combos achieved during the game.
- Further balanced the Crystals-1 level to make it fairer and reduce frustration.
