New & Updated Levels

  • A number of small tweaks have been made to the Sampler levels, most notably to their text.

New & Updated Art/Music/Sound

Gameplay Additions

Gameplay Updates

New Level Editor Features

Misc

  • The font sizes on the game over popup have been increased to be more readable like those on the before-level popup.
  • Some improvements have been made to the fonts used to increase readability and avoid cutoff of the text in certain circumstances.
  • The game no longer allows resolution switching on the Mac, instead having a message explaining how to go about switching the resolution using the Unity dialog on that platform, since the Mac version of Unity currently has a bug that doesn't work correctly with in-game resolution switching.
  • The images needed for the core block style selector are now preloaded at the start of the program to avoid the need to run a loading screen when that dropdown is opened.
  • Added logic to prevent entering a hidden level if you haven't beaten at least one normal level in the adventure.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where, on Windows in particular, sometimes the game was using the incorrect folder for reading and writing settings, etc.
    • If this causes your settings to get reset, we apologize for that; but it will also solve your settings seeming to be lost every time you update your game, if you were seeing that issue. You can get the old settings back by looking in the following locations:
      • Vista/Windows 7:
        • C:\Users\(your windows username)\AppData\Local\Tidalis
      • Windows XP:
        • C:\Documents and Settings\(your windows username)\Local Settings\Tidalis
    • If your settings are missing, most likely your savegames are, as well. You can just copy the Save folder and the settings.dat folder over to be inside the RuntimeData inside your Tidalis install folder, and you're all good. The default folders for that are:
      • Vista/Windows 7:
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Tidalis\RuntimeData
      • Windows XP:
    • C:\Program Files\Tidalis\RuntimeData
    • Again if this bugfix causes you any inconvenience, we do apologize. It's definitely for the best in the long-term.
