Forgotten Letters V1.2 update (post-jam)

Forgotten Letters
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

I decided to change the way the code of the jigsaw puzzle works. People seem to have understood the words differently than I did - their interpretation is now how it works.

I've also added a title screen.

The only other significant change in the Windows version is that I added some bookshelves.

My biggest improvement of Version 1.2 is probably the decreased file size - won't make that mistake again.


Also: adjusted everything a bit so it works in Android. I'm happy to say that it runs (mostly) without framedrops on my Samsung A40.
To make it work I had to change the shader of the red platforms a bit. But I like it better now. The smoky-particle I used was the biggest performance-issue. It's the only place that causes a slightly lower frame rate on my phone. I also had to adjust a lot of the light (settings). The Android controls are a bit scuffed (I don't like using them) - the game itself is pretty clearly not designed for the constraints of not having a mouse and keyboard.

I hope the "Forgotten_Letters-Android-Shipping_universal.apk"-file works. I'm not really an Android user. So this was my first attempt to publish an Android build.

I think I'm done with this project now. (unless someone tells me the Android thing doesn't work)
