Puzzle Patch v2.1

Palettopia Playtest · published · build 25046622

A huge thank you to everyone who has jumped into the Palettopia Puzzle Playtest!

Here is what we've updated in this patch:

🛠️ Difficulty Balancing & End-Level Experience

  • Difficulty Balancing: All 5 difficulty options are significantly more difficult than prior to August 28th. Less paint, greater paint rewards, fewer turns, and we temporarily set the same count/scale of Required Districts to all difficulty settings. If these new settings are too easy or hard for you, let us know!

  • Completed Puzzle Visibility: Now when the Puzzle Complete screen is active, the camera will move to the center of the map and zoom in to provide better visibility of the completed island.

⚙️ Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Fixed an issue preventing the tutorial from advancing if you did not have a middle mouse button to pan the camera. WASD will now properly satisfy the tutorial pan step.

  • Tutorial indicator was not working on Turn Limit step.

  • Fixed an issue where using the Eraser on Marine would not refund paint.

  • Marine can no longer paint outside the bounds of the ocean.

  • Fixed an issue where if a District's need is satisfied while the cursor was hovered on the district, then the need pip would break it's presentation.

  • Taking a screenshot with the in-game camera tool will now encode and save as a high quality PNG.

  • Taking a screenshot now includes Anti-Aliasing, if enabled.

  • Hitting Esc on the Puzzle Complete screen will now open the Main Menu.

  • Having more than 14 Required Districts while on the Puzzle Complete screen will now present nicely.

  • Landmark count was previously too high on the Puzzle Complete screen.

  • Reduced the number of times the Puzzle Complete screen will fire it's sound effects.

  • The game will now run while in the background, ie not the active window.

  • A 16:10 monitor will no longer increase the scale of the in-game UI incorrectly compared to a 16:9 monitor.
