Update 1.1 Is Out!

Tactical Explosive Kiwi Simulator 2004
A browser game made in HTML5

After 120 days since the game was released, the first update is out!

This is officially version 1.1.0 with the first 1 representing its released state (as opposed to a beta or alpha version), the second and third numbers indicating the number of updates, being major and minor respectively. Here's a list of all the changes:

New Features

  • Added the star system (credit to PotaJoe for ‘star’ animation)
    • First ‘star’ is shown whenever player completes level objective
    • Second shown if minimum number of kiwis were used
    • Third if objective was completed in a certain amount of time
      • You can compare your score with that of UAvian if you achieved it
  • Added three more levels
  • Added crates that are affected by gravity
  • In case you accidentally click on ‘back’ in level end screen, you can still go to the next level from main menu with a level selector
  • Added volume sliders for music and sound effects in the main menu
  • You can go back to any level with a level selector in the credits screen


Changes

  • To account for faster paced levels than anticipated:
    • Reduced time before a kiwi explodes in pre-existing levels
    • Warning sparks start to emit later, 2 seconds before blowing up
  • Pre-existing levels now have an extra kiwi/respawn or 2
  • Tutorial text has been changed from default font to one with the same resolution as the terrain. Button inputs have been animated. (Feedback appreciated regarding the new tutorial’s legibility.)
  • Text shown when out of bounds is now area-specific
  • Credits have been improved
  • Made new variants for crate textures
  • Changed level 1 death pit to be bottomless
  • Other minor terrain changes


Bug Fixes

  • Fixed viewport bug, allowing for levels where player can play as more than 2 kiwis
  • Destructibles no longer have a delay before they are destroyed by kiwi explosion
  • Fixed bug where explosion mark floats whenever it spawns on destructible that's about to be destroyed
  • Outline no longer shows up whilst buttons pressed
  • Reduced lag after explosions
  • You can no longer blow up a computer multiple times
  • Destructibles should be more stable (there were instances where they caused others to blow up if they were too close).
