Just in time for the holidays here's a little update. As the jump in version number implies this includes a couple of smaller updates that were previously just released on mobile platforms, but with this update all the changes are now implemented on all platforms. For the iOS and macOS version of the game, just search for Vlobs on the Apple app store.
Changes and improvements:
- Improved bomb and block clearing special effects.
- Added leaderboard row for the player ranked one step above your score, so you know what to beat to advance.
- Added billions score number format separator and adjusted leaderboard layout to fit higher scores (Wow Player#503!).
- Fixed issue with global leaderboard ranking not being shown correctly unless you were in the top 20.
- Separated fancy graphics setting into individual antialiasing, shadow quality, post-processing and particle settings.
- Continuing a game with the current best score will no longer show the new best score effect each time.
- Fix combo tiles sometimes being incorrectly rotated when continuing a game on a rotated level.
- Game now defaults to windowed mode instead of full screen on first launch.
Hope you all have a nice end of the year, and a good start to the new one!
