Hello puzzle lovers, It's Ben from Cold Coffee Studio ! First of all, we wish you a Merry Christmas and an amazing upcoming 2020.steamhappy The Santa Challenge has been released one week ago with the objective to offer a nice and cool gameplay for people interested to enjoy a nice moment or looking for a good challenge. We received a lot of feedback after the release on Discord and Twitter on many elements (UI, challenge, medals, timer, size of puzzles, menus...). We ordered each elements and integrated them in the roadmap, then we focused on critical improvements you requested the most.

Update 1.1:

MAJOR CHANGES

• Timer : We removed the timer in puzzle to change it for a chrono. You are not limited in time anymore to complete a puzzle but if you complete a puzzle fast, you can still win medals.
• Puzzle options: You can now hide the grid and/or hide the black&white image. This preferences are saved automatically and kept between puzzles.
• Medals : We add a little extra time to each medals.
• Medals UI : We also add a "help text" in the level selector and in the puzzle screen to remember you the different time to earn medals.
• Twitch : We removed the Twitch feature for now. It seems to complicate for us to maintain the feature while improving the game; it may come back in the future.steamsad
• Puzzle interface : We reworked the puzzle interface to make the puzzle bigger and working better in small resolution, especially 4/3: 800*600 - 1024*768

MINOR CHANGES

• Puzzle buttons (next, previous, mute, leave, restart): Updated with icons and smaller to reduce the focus.
• Scrolling: You can now scroll using your mouse wheel in Puzzle Selection and Gallery !
• Puzzle selector: Reworked - 2 rows !
• Credits: Reworked - Added supporters !
• Main menu: Changed some social media icons.
• Helps in Puzzle Selector: added two helps, one for medal, one for hints.
• Chrono at end: The time you did during the puzzle is displayed at the end.
• Gallery images: Pictures are now unlocked no matter the medal you won. If you completed it, it's unlocked.
• Delete save: You can now delete your save in Options.

BUG FIXES

• Puzzle remaining at end: added a security so it should not happen.
• Pieces over pieces: When you drag a puzzle piece, it will always come in front of the others, but will go behind when you release. Another fix will come later to improve this system.
• Grid over piece puzzles: Grid will always be behind pieces.
• Windowed mode: works as intend, you can resize the window if necessary.
• Click area: Click area in Puzzle Selector and Gallery is now the size of the image.
• Chrono 4:60 : Chrono now displays 5:00 instead of 4:60.
• Options button bugged: solved

KNOWN BUGS

• Selected pieces may pass behind the puzzle already place on the puzzle. Fix 1/2.
• Puzzles may not resize or disapear if you are in windowed and change resolution during game.
• Old save remains after the upload so you may have pieces not well placed in the puzzle (because position of each pieces is saved). Please restart puzzle to fix the issue.
