Apologies for the long wait since the last build… but this one is pretty epic!
There are five main additions and improvements in this build…
1. The “Hamburger” is now operational – tap the icon on the top right of the screen to open the menu. Not everything is functional, but you might want to try the following…
- Test the links to the Thunderbox and Calliope sites in the Social menu.
- Adjust the various volume levels in the Audio menu.
- Try turning the hints off in the Settings menu.
- The Settings menu also lets you enable Turbo mode, which triples the game speed – this is very useful for quick testing, but it is currently experimental and could cause minor errors!
- You can also Reset the game from the hamburger menu if you run in to trouble.
2. A first pass has been made on Illegal Move Detection – feel free to make an illegal move and let us know what you think of the implementation. Please note that it is not currently 100% reliable.
3. Player sessions are now tracked using Game Analytics. We will be able to gather valuable information on our testers’ play styles and preferences.
4. The UI Pop-ups and Path Joining have been completely re-factored to improve reliability and frame rate.
5. Most importantly, the First Experience is now active! The first time you play the game, a friendly face will appear to show you the ropes. You can re-activate this tutorial mode at any time from the hamburger menu.
Please note that a few major bugs still persist, notably with the Tricky AI. We hope to address this in our next build, which will be focused on bug-fixing and polish for the First Playable testing build.
We hope you enjoy this latest build… feel free to drop us a line and let us know what you think!
