Patch Notes - Demo 1.02

Hey! I've just applied a patch to the demo, ahead of Next Fest in a couple weeks. Here's what's new and fixed:

New

  • If you spell a word that's not in the Word Play dictionary, you can petition for its future inclusion from the options menu
  • You can now spell words longer than 10 tiles. Just keep adding tiles to reveal a secret second set of submission slots!
  • Added volume sliders for music and sound effects
  • The title screen now shares some helpful tips for advanced options
  • You can now click and hold the shuffle button to sort the letters alphabetically
  • "+4 Refresh" gift now shows you how many refreshes you currently have
  • "Covert All Tiles to Golden Tiles" gift now shows you how many tiles you have with that letter

Fixed

  • The "Preview upcoming letters" modifier now shows the "Ing" tile correctly
  • Fixed an issue with glass tiles and the Midas Touch modifier
  • Using a controller / keyboard to re-order the modifiers no longer makes the entire game explode

If you'd like to report a bug or suggest a feature, please visit the GMTK Discord where we have a few forum rooms for Word Play.

Thanks so much for word playing!

Mark
