What changed

2 fixes1 addition2 changes0 removals
  • Gameplay
  • Fixes
  • UI and audio
addedSave & ResumeNow when you bring up the in-game menu, there's a new option "Save and Exit", which does what you would expect! Now you can come back to your game later; when you next choose Start Game from the main menu you can just resume where you left off. The only limitation is you can't save in the middle of a storm, or when you have a block currently picked up; resuming in the middle of those is jarring. Finish the storm or place the block, then you can save.
changedMore music varietyWe've mixed up the music selection a little to give more variety in each game mode; there are now double the number of tracks available in each mode. Previously each game mode had its own dedicated track list, but since many people mostly play a single game mode, some nice tracks weren't getting into rotation. There is now some overlap between modes so you get more variety, although some tracks are still reserved for certain modes; e.g. the chill-out tracks of Free Play don't really work for the frantic pace of Time Attack.
changedOther minor issuesImproved error reporting & recovery of Steam connection problems
fixedOther minor issuesFixed a rare case of the first block visual being slightly out of alignment after game restart
fixedOther minor issuesFixed queued sound effects at the end of a game playing at the start of the next one
