Fixes and minor changes

  • Camera is only zoomed out on versus now for resolutions with an aspect ratio less than 16:9 (steam deck)

  • Fixes to local and online co-op, I think there were a couple issues with the share mod. Share mod is now on by default for online co-op since I think it is better for the first three stages, local co-op still has to select it manually though

  • Fixed a couple bugs with matchmaking (it would rejoin a lobby for a game that has ended sometimes), player names now are shown in game too. There aren't many players so if you want to play versus, you probably have to invite a friend or you can post on the discord

  • Added a tooltip to the All gamemode saying that leaderboards are often changed for this mode

  • The base downward force of instant drop's hard drop was increased slightly (20%)

  • Rating is no longer shown on versus, there aren't enough players and the system isn't implemented correctly right now. If there's enough interest in the future I will consider making proper rating, matchmaking, replays, and match history

I also made an update discussing the details of versus mode if you're interested:

New Shape - Clovers

The latest shape is 3 conjoined circles which I have named clovers, since it's similar to the shape of a clover without a stem. They play similar to hearts, but don't have a pointed edge to reach lower, and also don't have a flat side either.

With this shape added, I have also added Random pack 5, which contains the latest 5 shapes - Hearts, right triangles, trapezoids, bananas, and clovers.

Weekly Challenge update

I've added an update that allows me to have custom transformation sequences in the game now, so every few weeks (including next week) there will be a custom transformation sequence challenge. For the first challenge, I've created one with mostly round, fruity shapes. For example, yellow is banana, purple is clover etc. If there's ever demand for one of these to become an official mode I'll consider adding it

If you want to propose a future weekly challenge, let me know on discord

Score shoutouts

Bananas

Bananas may have ended up a bit too easy... They are hard to balance because they can be stacked in many ways and often reach most shapes in the box if rotated in one way or another

All random

Thanks for submitting scores, and sorry this update was so soon for all random. Updates are likely going to be a bit slower going forward since I have to get more work done on my other game
