We've just released version 2.1.0 of the game, which includes a few updates and a few fixes. For those of you that have been following the recent additional achievement discussions, we've gone with the majority as promised and not added any more achievements to the game. Here's what we've changed:
Updates
- A "perfect" can now be achieved on each level by completing it without taking any hits or losing any lives, collecting all stars and defeating all enemies. The levels for which perfects have been achieved are shown on the level select screen, which also now shows the completed levels. Thanks to Real for these suggestions.
- The controls screen now allows the directional keys/joystick buttons to be redefined. So you are no longer restricted to using the arrow keys or the main joystick axis. Thanks to limelight1210 for this suggestion.
Fixes
- The "hints" setting on the options menu was not always being saved.
- The number of lives was not always displaying correctly during the game if two extra lives were gained in quick succession.
- Stopped the game occasionally attempting to post leaderboard scores when Steam was in offline mode, which resulted in a crash. Also doesn't attempt to show the leaderboards screen if the leaderboards are unavailable.
- Doesn't crash any more when you have more than 99 lives (someone, somehow, actually managed this!).
- Stopped the game from allowing you to proceed to a locked level through normal gameplay. Thanks to 'AirollBatics' ortsA for pointing this out.
We've also deleted the high scores and times that were obviously posted by cheaters. I'm not going to tell you how we determined this to discourage others from doing it in the future. Please don't do it anyway - you ruin it for the real gamers.
Thanks to everyone for your continued support for the game, and I hope you like the update.
