2D Art and Gameplay-Comforts

This update contains a big chunk of new 2D assets used for Santa & Presents. Additionally, a couple of features were added to make the playing-experience more pleasurable.

2D Assets

Most of the work went into the production of new art this time. New Sprites are included for:

• 6 Items-Types
• Backgrounds
• UI: Icons, Text-Boxes, Buttons
• Fonts
• Santa (+ Turning Animations)

Comfort Features

The most important features are new visualizations of the game progress. The first addition is a new effect that shows how many points you gained with completing a pair or a present. Next the current progress is always shown in the top right screen-corner: current level, score and completed presents. A new non-visible feature makes use of the Fitting Item Rate introduced in the last update: while playing a level of the clear mode the fitting-rate will slowly increase. That way a level of this game mode can not go on forever (for example because the randomized algorithm just will not spawn the fitting item  to end the level).

Other small Updates:

• Resorted the render-layers of all objects.
• Added a small break befor a new level in clear-mode starts.

Happy new year everybody!
