Khimera: Puzzle Island News

Version 1.6 coming at you with a few minor fixes. Depending on your system, it may fix any fps issues you've been having.

Version 1.6 - April 11, 2021

• Fixed timing issue causing the game to lock at 50 fps on some systems.
  
• Fixed typo in credits.
  
• Added functionality to enable/disable an FPS counter with F4.

A new version of Khimera: Puzzle Island has been released today bringing with it a host of changes and additions dedicated to improving the keyboard/game pad experience.

Version 1.5 - March 23, 2021

• Added functionality for EMPTY and NOTE buttons to close the achievement menu.
  
• Added option to adjust cursor speed in puzzles.
  
• Defaults for cursor speeds set to 25 and 5 from 30 and 6 for initial delay and subsequent delays respectively.
  
• Fixed not being able to select hints with keyboard/game pad when auto-hints are off.

Version 1.4 has been released, adding a brand-new fourth mosaic and accompanying achievement! For everyone who enjoyed the game, this is for you!


Version 1.4 - February 11, 2021

• 4th mosaic added to the game featuring a mysterious guest.
• New achievement added for 4th mosaic.
• Added a 'random song' option to the settings menu; when active, a random stage theme will be chosen to play instead of the default theme. This can be activated independently for the main stages and mosaics.
• Fixed stage theme not loading ahead of time, causing a minor hiccup when the song starts during main stages.
• Mosaics are now displayed per-tile on the file select screen instead of per-mosaic.
• Completed items on the file select menu now light up.
• Modified how file % is calculated, counting individual mosaic tiles cleared rather than completed mosaics. Files with incomplete mosaics will see a drop in % due to the increased weight.

Version 1.3 has been released! This version features a new mechanic where the mouse cursor will affix itself to the x or y axis, allowing you to place markers in straight lines. If this kind of straight-edge lifestyle is absolutely not your style, you can disable this new mechanic in the settings menu.

Version 1.3 - December 7, 2020

• Wow more typos who would have ever guessed?
• Fixed discrepancy between all medals achievement check and gold medal display on puzzle menu.
• Fixed a few mosaic tiles that had more than one answer.
• Added auto-ruler, a mechanic which locks the cursor to the x or y axis when using the mouse, allowing you to easily place straight lines (can be deactivated in settings).

Version 1.2 is now available! On top of a few more bug fixes, I've also added a few requested features including the ability to get through the victory fanfare quicker and an option to turn off text sounds. Thank you very much for your feedback and for playing my game!
