September Update

Performance, controls and bugfixes.

Controls

• Frogs are now more “bouncy” while hanging on the tongue. They lose less energy, controls feel more energetic.
• Introduced Hold to Stay Attacked option. When enabled - the tongue releases together with a key. It reduces the number of key-presses during fast motion.

Race Mode

• Added Turn Time option makes it possible to race on huge maps with alternating short turns.

Performance

• Collision maps are now generated offline for bundled levels. This improves startup times, especially on slower machines.
• Most maps are now quantized using an 8-bit palette color format leading to faster download times.
• Downloads are cached in IndexedDB (in the browser) making subsequent loads even faster.
• Added Fast Map Filtering option improving graphics performance for big maps on older GPUs.

Bugfixes

• Fixed bug when tongue reshooting will occasionally happen in the same direction.
• Fixed sliding preventing bounce.
• Jump backward works again (double-enter).
• Maximize button was not working in Safari.
• Fixed pixelated frog rendering on mobile devices. Overall the game is not playable there yet due to missing touch controls.
