Welcome to the first ever content update for Pen Pals!

We've been busy here at the Dabbleplex, crunching the numbers into the finest powdered data and mixing that into an informational slurry. The goal? Extrapolate these figures to determine exactly what kind of new level to add to the game.

We ran into a snag, though. While looking over the charts, a bunch of animals rolled into the office and landed on our precious graphs. We'll try to work around them, but in the meantime maybe you all could try to clear up some of these barnyard invaders.

New Features

  • A whole new level is now available, bringing the total up to 15

  • You can now view Steam Leaderboards top 3 (and your immediate scoreboard neighbors) on the in-level scoreboard. Just use the buttons over on the left or the < > hotkeys to switch to other scoreboard views

Interface Improvements

  • Added a toggle to the options menu to cause the game to auto-pause when the window loses focus (by default, this new option is enabled)

  • Using the keyboard for swaps no longer disables mouse tracking

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where it was possible to click the gameover retry button before the gameover screen appeared

Thank you everyone for an exciting and successful launch! There are more still bugs to squash and new features to add, so watch for more updates on the horizon!
