๐ Devlog: Touch Controls, Platform Tuning & More!
Hey divers! Iโve just dropped a juicy update packed with improvements across input handling, platform tuning, and visual polish. Hereโs whatโs 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 youโre 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
- Updated the HTML title for better branding.
- Various under-the-hood tweaks to keep things running smooth.
