Camera shake + internal code changes

Camera Shake


Sometimes the Camera offset wouldn't reset after the screen shake would finish.

Code changes


Internal code changes, nothing you'll notice during gameplay, but will make things easier for me for future updates. :-) Enjoy! - Martin

Juice Update!

Camera Shake


Added a camera shake effect when you clear a piece on the board. This effect is enabled by default but can be turned off in the settings. Enjoy the juicy feeling of clearing pieces!

Hotfix - Looping Firewall tracks

A quick hotfix, that fixed the issue of looping tracks from the Firewall content update.

Looping Tracks


The 3 new tracks that were part of the Firewall update would loop infinitely for some users, therefore the tracks wouldn't switch automatically unless you used the jukebox manually.

Update v1.2.5 - Random Crashes Fixed!

Hello fellow Hackers!

No more crashes!


In yesterday's patch notes I've mentioned Win7 users were experiencing game crashes. Since then, I learned that this was happening to some people who weren't using Win7 as well. That helped me to track down the issue and I've fixed it. Many thanks to everyone who helped me out! If you run into any issues with the game, contact me directly through Steam or send me an email DaisyGamesStudio@gmail.com. I'll get on it and fix it as soon as possible!

Update v1.2.4, Win7 crashes @ NVIDIA drivers

Hello fellow Hackers! Just released a small update with few fixes!

Unlocked levels


Certain players experienced issue with all levels being unlocked right away, this issue has been fixed.

Audio sliders


There was an issue with audio sliders, you didn't have as much control with them as you'd like. After lowering the slider by around a third, the audio would be muted. I fixed this and how the audio slider has much bigger range and it's easier to tweak the volume to your liking.

Windows 7 - Crashes


I've learned today that some users are experiencing game crashing issues. Currently the problem seems to be isolated mostly to Windows 7 and not having updated NVIDIA drivers. Updating the drivers should solve this issue. I am currently looking into ways to solve this.

UPDATE v1.2.3

Hello fellow Hackers! Just released a small update for Hack Grid.

Colorblind mode


I've received a feedback about how to improve my colorblind support. Before the update, icons would appear in the corner of each piece which would show what color it is. However, it wasn't as practical as I had hoped. Therefore, the colorblind mode turns the colors of pieces into strong, shining red, green and blue This works very well with most types of colorblindness. If you are colorblind, depending on which colors you cannot see, try playing with the colorblind mode on and off. For some types, the game looks just fine even with the default colors!

Dutch localization


I've learned that there were some issues with the Dutch translation. I'm sorry this wasn't caught earlier. It is fixed now though! If you run into any issues, I've created a pinned Topic Report an Issue in the game's discussion, you can report the issue there. Thanks and good luck hacking the grid! - Martin

What is Hack Grid?

Hack Grid is a hacking-themed puzzle game and love letter to the retro charm of DOS gaming, both in visuals and audio!
Dive back into the 80's and become a hacker!

How to play

Each piece is unique, and has its own set of rules; some move, some change color, some absorb other pieces, and others can become obstacles and get in your way! It's up to you to solve each grid's puzzle by moving the pieces until there's only one left on the board.

Old-school audio!

Hack Grid emulates the iconic Sound Blaster 16 audio that all DOS gamers know and love.

Features

- 60 levels with increasing difficulty

- Speedrun mode with built-in timer
- In-game jukebox. Choose which songs from the retro soundtrack you want to hear.
- Colorblind support
- Mouse only controls, with re-bindable hotkeys
- Not a fan of the CRT-look? Turn it off!
- 8 languages available (Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, German, Hindi, Russian and Spanish)

Can you become a master hacker? It's time to find out! Just remember - only one piece must remain!
