Hey everyone! 🙋♂️
Once again, thank you very much to everyone who played the demo version! 🥰 After the last update added new horses and new music, this update makes everything a little prettier and more polished.
The demo update 0.8.6 includes the following improvements:
Improvements
- Tree and bush shadows: All trees and bushes in the landscape now cast a shadow. This gives the landscape more depth and contrast - and simply looks more beautiful!
- Improved background graphics: The background graphics have been improved to ensure that the colors and lighting are more consistent overall.
- Added new sound effects: When you land on a bale of straw, a rock, a tree trunk or a bridge, there are now additional sound effects. For example, the straw rustles when you land on a bale of straw.
- Cheaper first horses: If you didn't collect enough apples on your very first run, you couldn't buy horses after the first level. The very first horses are now cheaper so you don't have to stay alone :-)
- Explanatory texts for power-ups: The help screen now displays a short text for all power-ups explaining the effect of the power-ups.
- New menu icons: Since some languages have very long translations, some button texts in the menus have been replaced by icons.
- Better challenge info: The challenge info at the end of the level now also shows tasks that have already been completed, so that there is no confusion compared to the pause menu.
- Corrected power-up text: The "Apples +1" power-up had a misleading name and is now called "Apples +50%". This means that for every apple you collect, you have a 50% chance of getting an additional apple.
As always, please let me know what you think of the new improvements! Feel free to share your experiences, post screenshots, or drop suggestions in the community hub.
Thank you again for the nice feedback! That really means a lot to me as a small one-man studio 🤗
