Changelog

v1.2

• Changes
  • Added widescreen! (Or whatever your system's fullscreen is.) Overlay options are still present if you'd prefer to play with a square aspect ratio.
    • Widescreen may result in slightly worse performance on some systems, but New 3DS is the only one where it's actually noticeable in my experience.
  • Added three new background/overlay color options and one new block color option.
    • Also reorganized background/overlay color options.
  • Added Spawn Area setting that allows the player to change the size of the block spawn area.
    • A larger area will be more visually appealing but have worse performance on weak devices. Conversely, a smaller area will look more cramped but improve framerate.
  • Adjusted HUD element positions.
  • Assorted minor polish.
  • [Android] Increased block spawn boundaries from 10.0 to 12.0 (same as PC).
  • [PC] Config file now stores WINDOW_WIDTH and WINDOW_HEIGHT instead of just WINDOW_SIZE (which previously set both width and height).
  • [Switch] Very slightly increased block spawn boundaries from 8.7 to 8.8.
  • [Vita] Slightly improved performance. Minimum no-overclock framerate increased from ~45 FPS to ~52 FPS.
• Bug Fixes
  • High score is no longer saved if debug mode is used during a game. No cheating!
  • [Android] Fixed startup crash on some Android versions.
  • [PC] Toggling fullscreen no longer resets visual settings.

v1.1

• Technical Improvements:
  • Significantly optimized rendering and block logic. This means higher framerates on all systems (sometimes much higher)!
    • The goal was usually to reach 60 FPS on the most intense settings while maintaining good block spawn boundaries, though some consoles only reach this target on less intense difficulties.
    • If you're curious, here's a breakdown of how much performance has been improved on each system.
  • Increased cube spawn boundaries on almost all consoles to take advantage of improved performance. The only exception is Wii U, where boundaries are reduced.
  • Other minor optimizations and polish.
  • [Linux] Changed save data location to point to current executable directory instead.
  • [Linux] Enabled fullscreen by default.
  • [Wii U] Reduced framerate to 540p for better performance (it basically looks the same as in 1080p anyway).
• Changes:
  • Enhanced controller support! Input is now read from all connected controllers, and you can freely connect/disconnect controllers as desired.
  • Added Block Transparency setting. Disabling this can slightly improve performance if needed.
  • Added Frame Rate setting, intended for weak hardware.
  • Made True Analog (formerly called Type B) the default control scheme.
  • Made Pitch Black the default overlay color.
  • Renamed and reorganized some menu options.
  • Added version number to credits.
  • [Vita] Restored Giant block setting.
• Bug Fixes:
  • [Gamecube] Fixed save data reading/writing (mostly; see known bug below).
  • [Vita] Fixed crash on high intensities.
  • [Windows+Linux] Fixed save data not being read when you run the game from a directory other than the one containing the executable.

v1.0

• First Release.
