New Game Plus!
A small group of you have been requesting a new game plus mode since the game’s launch. Coming today in V1.12 of Coloring Pixels we are adding just that! There are quite a few new things to cover, so let’s break it down.
New Game Plus Button
When you complete a level, there is now a new heart button in the bottom left of the screen. Pressing this, and then the following confirmation button will restart the level into new game plus mode. This will wipe all progress on the image. You can new game plus the same level multiple times to get increasingly more prestigious level select cards (described later).
New Game Plus Feature: Timer
When playing a level in new game plus mode you will be timed! This is purely for those that are interested in the time taken for each image, or for those that want to beat their own record, and will in no way make the game competitive or less relaxing than before! The timer can be viewed by holding tab (or toggled to always be visible in the settings).
Level Card Rewards
The main menu will change dramatically if you chose to complete images with new game plus. Now, each time you complete a level, it’s respective border will change color (default, to red, to green, to blue, to black). And if you manage to complete all levels to a certain color, the book’s button will also change.
We wanted add these optional features in an unobtrusive way, and as such we won’t be adding any new game plus related achievements.
Hope you enjoy!
100% Completion Playback
We have added a little animation when you complete a level! Now when you finish coloring, the camera gracefully pans out and the game plays a short timelapse of your progress from start to completion!
Unfortunately, until this v1.12 update we haven’t been tracking your coloring progress in sufficient enough detail to create this animation. So for any in-progress levels, you might notice that we faked the start of the playback for you. Sorry about this; you can always retry the level with New Game Plus if you want to take credit for the whole timelapse.
We hope you like this little addition. If you don’t, we have added an option in the settings to turn it off.
