Thanks for playing! This update is a big one under the hood — a major performance and stability pass across the whole carnival, a much smaller download, and a handful of fixes.
⚡ Performance & Stability
Major engine upgrade for faster, smoother gameplay across every mini-game.
Smoother gameplay — eliminated in-game stutters so the action stays fluid.
Fixed a startup crash that affected some systems.
No more first-play hitches — game shaders now pre-load during the loading screen, so mini-games run smoothly the very first time you play them.
Snappier transitions between the hub and games, with loading kept behind the loading screen.
Faster loads — word lists now load once at startup and are shared across all games.
📦 Smaller Download
~50% smaller install/download. Same music and content — we optimized how audio is stored.
🐛 Bug Fixes
Word Fly: laser beams now correctly appear red (could show grey/black before).
Word Driver: explosion effects now render as proper soft flames (previously squares).
Word SkyDiver: on-screen controls now list the "C — Cut straps for a faster descent" key.
📝 Content
Reviewed and cleaned the word lists to keep the puzzles family-friendly.
We are building out a sound track as a DLC if you choose to support Zabutan games!
