Update 1.2

First of all thank you very much for all your positive feedback and constructive criticism! <3

I'm currently focusing on adding more polish to the game and smoothen out all the edges. Below you can find most of the changes that got implemented with this update. There's still more to come in the future but this update has already gotten big enough as it is and the majority of the fixed bugs most players would normally never encounter. ^^

  • Intro
    • New animation: circles now move around instead of being static!
    • Fixed a bug where it would wrongly jump to the chapter menu under certain conditions

  • Move forward

    • Part of the word now becomes italic after a certain amount of time to indicate that your input is required
    • If coming from the pause menu, the part of the word becomes italic immediately
    • Pressing W no longer works (I didn't expect people would actually press W for multiple minutes ^^)
    • Fixed a bug where the words would fade before reaching the top

  • Trapped

    • Completely reworked the background behaviour to make it feel better

    • Fixed a bug where graphics would not change after unlocking Breakout right before

  • Voices

    • Fixed a bug where it would not save the progress
    • Updated the background fade when coming from the menu

  • Wordplay

    • You can now solve this in any order
    • Added a new autoscale effect
    • Fixed a bug where the sliding of words would get interrupted
    • Sounds now continue playing when going back to the menu to keep up the atmosphere

  • Safe

    • Added multiple sound effects and a new background sound
    • Fixed a bug where the letters rearranging sound would not stop
    • Fixed a bug where the background would not completely disappear
    • Background sound now fades in when coming from the menu
    • Sounds now continue playing when going back to the menu to keep up the atmosphere

  • Menus

    • Added a hint system when you're on your first playthrough
    • Added a little animation to all menu item on mouse over
    • Added new sound effects to all menu items
    • Updated the transition from the chapter menu to the selected chapter
    • Slightly lowered the volume of the background music
    • When "reset" is visible it now shows "(to unlock chapters)" below the word
    • Updated the graphic that shows when you start the game for the first time
    • Fixed a bug where progress would not get saved after a complete reset

  • ...and lots of other tiny changes & improvements that are hardly noticeable ^^
