Scoundrel 1.0.1 Update

Scoundrel
A downloadable game

Hey everyone!

I’ve spent some time playing through the game and tackling a few issues that needed fixing. Here’s what’s new:

  1. Memory Issue Fixed: I discovered a memory problem where the game would crash after playing more than 4 times in a row due to a memory leak. It took some time to track down, but I’ve resolved it, and the game is now much more stable!

  2. Restart from the Beginning: I’ve added a feature where the game restarts from the beginning when you hit "Play" again. This was something I wanted to do for a while, but I wasn’t sure how to implement it—glad it’s finally in!

  3. Performance Boost: In the process of fixing the memory issue, I also improved performance by optimizing how images are loaded. The game now runs faster and smoother!

  4. 2 New Characters: Since I was already making updates, I thought it’d be fun to add two new characters to keep things fresh. Hope you enjoy them! 😁

  5. Quirky Loading Screen Sayings: I realized that the loading screen took a bit longer than expected, especially on the actual device. To make it more fun, I added quirky little sayings during the load. With the recent performance improvements, the loading time is shorter now, but I still hope the sayings give you a smile while you wait.

That’s about it! The game is running better than ever. There might still be the occasional memory leak, but I doubt anyone will play for that long in one sitting—though if you do, let me know! 😂

You can download the update and sideload it. If you notice any issues not listed, please feel free to reach out. Thanks for playing!
