v3.0.8 - UI Layout Update It has been noted that some players were not seeing the "Undo" function and just using "Restart" every time they made a mistake, restarting the entire level, which led to some frustration.

v3.0.2 · Fixed bug with ambient nature sounds · Updated colour blind previews in the settings menu I hope people have been enjoying the new graphics.

Come and join the new Stuart’s Pixel Games Discord Server! There are channels to talk about all sorts of things like: Join Here. I've been wanting to create a community for Puzzledorf and Stuart's Pixel Games for a while. Discord seemed an appropriate place. But then I thought, "Why not make it about Game Development too?" So that's what I'm trying to create. It will likely evolve with time. At…
Fixed a bug in Mirror Mode with the UI. At the end of a level, the parts of the UI that read "Success!" and displayed your score, at the end of a level, were mirrored. The UI is now back to normal.
The level end transition has been streamlined. It makes the time lag of finishing one level and starting the next slightly shorter, while still conveying relevant information. · The success message, current score and best score all appear at the same time, immediately when you finish a level · If you get a new high score, the high score sound plays instead of the regular level finish sound, but…
There have been some minor changes to how sound settings work thanks to feedback (thanks Yuki ): · SFX and music volume now change in increments of 1, making it easier to do subtle changes for head sets · Holding down the button will slowly accelerate how fast the volume changes · The games default volume now starts at 50 for new players, allowing for headsets sounding louder
