Word Charades — Update 1.08

major update

Word Charades Soundtrack · published · build 25039890

Thanks for playing! This update is a big one under the hood — a major performance and stability pass across the whole carnival, a much smaller download, and a handful of fixes.

⚡ Performance & Stability

  • Major engine upgrade for faster, smoother gameplay across every mini-game.

  • Smoother gameplay — eliminated in-game stutters so the action stays fluid.

  • Fixed a startup crash that affected some systems.

  • No more first-play hitches — game shaders now pre-load during the loading screen, so mini-games run smoothly the very first time you play them.

  • Snappier transitions between the hub and games, with loading kept behind the loading screen.

  • Faster loads — word lists now load once at startup and are shared across all games.

📦 Smaller Download

  • ~50% smaller install/download. Same music and content — we optimized how audio is stored.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Word Fly: laser beams now correctly appear red (could show grey/black before).

  • Word Driver: explosion effects now render as proper soft flames (previously squares).

  • Word SkyDiver: on-screen controls now list the "C — Cut straps for a faster descent" key.

📝 Content

  • Reviewed and cleaned the word lists to keep the puzzles family-friendly.

  • We are building out a sound track as a DLC if you choose to support Zabutan games!

  • Suggest a game or fix and we most likely will do it! Just add comments or suggestions to the discuss!
