addedHello everybody, To celebrate Halloween, I'm really pleased to announce a new update for Pictopix!
changedHalloweenLike last year, there is a special event hidden in the game! To discover what it is, here's a little hint: go into the Workshop and play a puzzle in the Halloween theme :ishappy: Feel free to use the search engine to find puzzles quickly!
addedHalloweenHenceforth, this event will be active every year over the same period. I've also created a new puzzle in the Workshop. I hope you'll enjoy it!
addedPreview fillingIn the new update, Pictopix introduces a new feature named "Preview filling". When this one is enabled, now you can preview the squares that you are filling. Hold the button and move the cursor to highlight squares. Then release the button to fill the squares! A counter is also displayed next to the cursor. It shows the number of squares highlighted. It can be helpful to count them.
changedPreview fillingThis feature works with the mouse, the keyboard or the controller! You can enable "Preview filling" in the game options (Gameplay tab) Some players were asking me regularly this feature. I was reticent at first because I thought the feature will give an advantage to players in Challenges mode, but it does not. :ishappy:
addedInterface improvementIn the previous update ( version 1.3.4 ), I added the "Thick line" option in the Interface tab. When you check it, the five-block indicator lines are thicker (thanks constantcompile for the suggestion!)
