Next Fest Mid Week Update

We're only 3 days through the Steam Next Fest and we are blown away by your reception and appreciation of WooLoop! We worked tirelessly over the past week to make sure the Demo was as ready as it could be, taking players' feedback on board we added new features to make the gameplay smoother and more relaxing. As well as tackling a number of pesky bugs. Based on your community feedback, Rob has made some considerable changes to the game which you can see below.

V0.106 Patch Notes

New Features

• Added a new Accessibility tab in the Settings menu
• Added a new setting "Edge Of Screen Panning" (defaulted to on) - When enabled, the screen can pan when you reach the edge of the screen with a rope.
• Added a new setting "Panning Speed" (defaulted to 1x) - This setting lets you control the speed at which the edge of the screen panning setting and keyboard controls move the camera.
• Added a new setting "Dark Mode" (defaulted to off) - Requested by our community, so we did it <3. This is a work in progress, we hope to add more to this feature in the future.

V0.110 Patch Notes

Bug Fixes

• Edge of screen panning changes
  • It now works when you have let go of the rope
  • We have also shortened the distance from the edge of the window before it activates
  • It now stops when the game loses focus
• Major improvements to the responsiveness and visibility of instructions
  • Reduced the number of upcoming instructions visible at once
  • The changing colour of instructions is much more responsive. Now light blue should always be the instruction you need to complete, and dark blue is a previous instruction.
  • When an instruction is offscreen, if it is light blue it will always be full scale
• Main Menu Scroll bars have been added
• Main Menu scroll speed has been increased

Bug Fixes

• Reduced Panning Speed and made slight adjustments based on how zoomed in you are
• Fixed multiple occurrences of anticlockwise instructions sometimes being incorrect
