Post-Jam Patch
Now that the jam is over and the voting period is nearly over, I've prepared a patch to address feedback I've received. If you see this during the jam voting period and have rated the game, please don't adjust your rating based on the new version. If you haven't rated and would like to, please download one of the versions labeled "JAM VERSION" and rate based on that - the current web version is not representative of the progress I made during the jam. In any case, please enjoy! I hope this build is more stable and more fun.
- High score on main menu properly updates after a game over.
- Spikes can no longer spawn in the initial board layout (fewer instant death scenarios).
- Block health increase is now properly reset after a game over.
- Tweaks to block shaking, should make it a little clearer when they're about to fall. (Subject to change, I still feel like it could be more clear.)
- Point rewards tweaked - you now earn more points from everything as the board loops, with higher tier gems benefiting more.
- Added an online leaderboard for some friendly competition using SilentWolf as a backend. Open the Top Scores menu to set a name for your entry, and it will submit your high score as well as any new high scores you reach.
- The Exit button no longer appears if playing in the browser.
- Allowed for scaling the game window.
- Music now loops when the track ends.
Additionally, the browser version should now be playable on mobile. Tapping each edge of the screen will move you in that direction. This control scheme is subject to change, but it's currently hard to test.
