Hey sweepers!
BOOMSWEEPER 1.3.3 is live now. You can now pick how hard the deep vault levels are, the Stethoscope helps on every vault level, vault doors are much easier to spot on the board, and you can choose your display mode and resolution.
Vault difficulty
- Settings has a new Vault difficulty option for vault levels 4 to 8: Easy, Medium or Hard.
- Easy deals fresh boards on the spot, like the vaults in 1.3.0.
- Medium uses pre-made boards that never ask you to read more than three numbers together to find a safe tile.
- Hard is the tougher set from 1.3.1, where the deepest levels ask for four.
- Every difficulty is solvable with no guessing, and all three pay exactly the same.
- Everyone starts on Medium. If you liked the 1.3.1 challenge, switch to Hard in Settings.
- Levels 1 to 3 play the same as before. A vault level you're already in keeps the difficulty it was dealt with.
Stethoscope on every level
- The Stethoscope now works on every vault level, not just 1 to 3.
- On levels 1 to 3 it still opens a safe tile for you.
- From level 4, the first listen rings the numbers that prove a tile is safe, so you can work it out yourself. Listen again and it opens the tile. Each listen counts as one use.
- The Vaults talent now mentions the Vault difficulty setting.
Glowing vault doors
- Vault doors on the board now have a soft gold glow that grows as you clear more of the board and gently pulses.
- When the board is cleared and only vaults are left, the camera glides a little closer to an unopened vault door, so you know where to go next. It only does this if you haven't moved the camera yourself.
- With Reduce motion and flashes on, the glow stays still and there's no zoom.
Display settings
- Settings has a new Display mode list: Fullscreen, Windowed fullscreen or Windowed.
- Fullscreen now switches your monitor to the resolution you pick. Windowed fullscreen is the borderless mode that used to be called Fullscreen, and it's still the default, so nothing changes unless you change it.
- There's a new Resolution list with your monitor's sizes. In Windowed it sets the size of the window.
- After a change, the game asks if you want to keep it. If you don't answer within 10 seconds, it goes back to what you had.
- On Steam Deck both options are hidden and the game always fills the screen.
