The next version of Trapper’s Delight is coming soon! I have been working on the follow up to 0.9.6, unsurprisingly named 0.9.7 and the plan is to have it in your hands in the next few weeks. Progress has been a bit slower than I would have liked, but some boring life stuff has slowed things down recently. But the good news is that going forward I will be able to dedicate a lot more time to development, which should mean more and faster updates going forward.
In 0.9.7 the plan is to bring in a couple of new traps into the fray. The first is a projectile based trap which instead of taking people out, grabs people and brings them back to the launcher.
The aptly named grabber trap can be used to create sneaky shortcuts or drag people into their doom.
Secondly, the freeze trap is a hidden floor trap which, when triggered, instantly freezes anyone stepping onto it, preventing them from moving for a few seconds.
This can be used to stop people getting out of harm’s way, or just delay them enough to get ahead. It could even be combined with the grabber trap in fun ways.
Other new features planned for 0.9.7 include an updated end of game stats screen along with more game configuration options, including the option to select which traps are classified as super traps. This will include a variety of in-built game variants, such as “No Flippers” or “Pits and Jumps”.
Thanks everyone!
