To grab the third star in the level, you've got to get the first one and then revisit. For these stars, ideally,
- There should be a twist. You shouldn't have to repeat most of the steps needed to beat the level in the first place.
- It shouldn't just be a matter of waltzing into the level and grabbing them a few steps from the start.
That's the design goal of the Shard Star: an interesting twist on the existing level. You know, something that's (a) interesting, and (b) a twist. There were a few levels where that whole thing could be improved. So it was improved. Most noticeable in levels 2-9, 3-6, 3-10, 4-4, 6-7, 7-3, 8-2, 9-6.
Some levels' values for Par Stars were also balanced, mostly with more relaxed move requirements.
Also, squares look in the direction they're moving. It's actually ever so slightly helpful.
Next on the horizon:
- Even more expressive squares!
- Displaying your personal best "score" (number of moves) for each level. Beat yourself!
- The story and ending(s).
- Oh, and the full game available in... some capacity, somehow, for public consumption.
Happy squaring!
