Patch Notes, v0.4.55

Patch notes, v0.4.55

New features

• New unlock progression system — Some tiles need you to meet goals to become available. Stats are now tracked correctly and synced to Steam.

Gameplay changes

• Choir now grants defence instead of song.

• Boss rewards now fully heal your sparrow.

• The NONE option has been removed from the reward tile picker.

• Propaganda modifier gives you a Swooperoni tile at the start

• Many nasty combinations of modifiers have been disabled

Fixes & polish

• Snipe now correctly updates the bird counter.

• Wingman Maxim's name has been shortened.

• Harbinger and Buzz Ardrin have been visually distinguished so they're easier to tell apart when shown side by side.

• Save data is now erased at the end of a run (when you shouldn't be able to load again anyway).

• The character select and level select menus now use a horizontal scroll style. Sparrows and tiles sit lower on screen to keep the visual focus on the tile hand.

• Followers now arrange correctly after one is cracked open.

• Followers now correctly emerge from the pile instead of spawning in place. Fixed a bug where followers may have been sorted twice, causing one removed follower to break the order.

• Fixed a bug where a single attack tile was not being frozen correctly when the player was frozen in level 4.

• Barricade no longer persists into the next level.

• Fixed tiles retaining a floating state after being drawn back into the hand.

• Explosion particles now play after a tile dissolves, not before.

• A sound effect now plays at the end of the enemy-liberated animation when a tile vanishes.

• Tile break sound timing improved.

• Max damage/turn and tiles/turn stats were counting incorrectly — values were far too high. Fixed.

• Exit game button in Settings Menu

• Resetting stats now works correctly.
