Hey everyone,
Wow! A huge thank you for the incredible feedback on Static Panic. I have found some game-breaking bugs, and I've been working hard to squash them and add a ton of polish. This update brings the game to the state I always wanted it to be.
Here's what's new in v1.0.1:
* PROPER SCALING! The game now scales to fit any monitor size. No more fixed window size! This was the #1 request, and it's finally here.
* NO MORE STICKY WALLS! The frustrating bug that glued you to the side of blocks is gone.
* SPRITE RENDERING FIXED: The player sprite no longer clips into the floor or gets misaligned when moving left. (odd one that occured in development, but fixed nonetheless.)
* SOUND! The game is no longer silent. I've added sound effect hooks for jumping, landing, line clears, and more, plus a hook for background music.
* POTATO MODE: For those who need better performance or just prefer a clean look, you can now toggle off all the CRT effects from the main menu.
* ANIMATED CHARACTER: Our little hero now has a full spritesheet for running, jumping, and idling.
* NEXT BLOCK PREVIEW: You can now see the next piece that's coming, adding a much-needed layer of strategy.
* UI REDESIGN: The UI has been completely redesigned with a "Modern Retro" neon-arcade style.
Thanks again for all the support and for helping me track down these bugs. The game is so much better for it. Try out the new version and let me know what you think!
