๐Ÿš€ Devlog: Touch Controls, Platform Tuning & More!

Hey divers! Iโ€™ve just dropped a juicy update packed with improvements across input handling, platform tuning, and visual polish. Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s new beneath the surface:

Touch & Keyboard Controls Revamped

  • I overhauled the input system with new providers for both desktop and mobile.
  • Region-based touch controls now guide your fingers with overlays, making mobile gameplay smoother than ever.

Offline Leaderboards Get Smarter

  • Leaderboards now initialize with default scores and support schema versioning.
  • Whether youโ€™re diving in for the first time or migrating from an older version, your scores are safe and sound.

Build Scripts & Platform Support

  • I added new dev scripts to make it easier to build for Itch, Centarius, Crazy Games, and desktop.
  • Crazy Games now supports ads, local leaderboards, and exclusive gameplay tweaks.

Gameplay Tuning for Crazy Games

  • Stage difficulty has been amped up with higher enemy spawn rates, more frequent powerups, and score multipliers.
  • Dynamic stage configs ensure each platform gets a tailored challenge.

Visual Upgrades

  • Level backgrounds now use modular helpers for seabeds and wrecks, improving consistency and maintainability.
  • I added a portrait mode overlay to help mobile players rotate for optimal gameplay.

Minor Polish
