changedCollect sunbeamsTo make each decision even more interesting, you will now be able to increase your solar energy in each level, by merging more than 3 objects. The energy is used for the tools you unlocked so far.
addedTool selection removedThis was an interesting one. When adding the rewind feature, we saw a lot issues when selecting tools. And overall it didn't feel like a meaningful decision. Most players used only the magic wand. Experimenting with new tools like the hammer felt always a bit tedious. We had more and more rules and edge cases. So instead of making it more complex, we did a step back and removed the tool selection giving you all unlocked tools in all levels. Which changes the game quite a bit but as we think in a more fun and playful way. We would love to hear your opinion about it.
addedNew maps including a night modeIn this update we replaced some of the maps in the demo with some new or revised ones. The map "stonehenge" is an experiment. While testing we had a bug that the tools didn't show up. And it was actually a fun challenge that changed how you approach a map quite a bit. As we see the demo a bit like a free early access testbed, we include it in this update to hear your opinions.
