Change Log

While attributing reports/requests, some are new and some old, some I forgot to create tickets and some were reported by multiple people over the time without keeping track, but for different puzzle games. Sorry for everyone I forgot to credit, but I just couldn't keep track. Everyone reporting an issue/feature request is highly appreciated nonetheless.

Hello puzzling people, thank you for your amazing support and glorious feedback 💖 Launch day is always a wild ride and post-launch is the next wild ride, so here is what I could wip up for you in a relatively short amount of time. Anything else needs "a bit" more time than "fixing stuff the next day". Hope you enjoy it 💖

IN THIS UPDATE

• fix FX volume was not applied to puzzle sounds
• keyboard shortcuts
• added help text to settings
• added WASD + mouse screen edge movement
• set new white-blue logo
• continue the puzzle you were last on
• better main menu links / visit button below
• shadow is too big on small pieces
• view image in victory screen
• change game victory "EXIT" + translation

Planned / Known Bugs

These are things/bugs/missing features that I know of / are planned with an honest assumption if they can/can't be done and in which way.

• optional fixed rotation instead of free rotation
• some tooltips/tutorial view to label the ingame buttons
• two more secret achievements
• better piece-save/load visualization (maybe a list of some sort)
• ingame fullscreen/window switch (looked at how unity handles this... big MAYBE)
• "floating pieces" can happen when pieces stick diagonally together (an old engine bug, unknown if fixable)
• piece-pickup area is weirdly big (an old engine bug, probably not fixable)

BIG THANK YOU

Again a BIG THANK YOU from me and our team for your support and feedback 💖
