This is a test feature, currently available only on Steam. If well-received, we’ll roll it out to other platforms.

[h3]🎄On behalf of the entire OxGames team (Kamil, Jakub & Jakub) we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and we see you at Oxytone next year with the new updates.🎄[/h3]

In this update, we’ve added some quality-of-life improvements, but most importantly, we’ve made a lot of optimizations to the game. Thanks to this, Potato Mode 🥔 now looks much better and feels less like Potato Mode 🥔!



[h2]Main changes and fixes:[/h2]

• Optimized tile rendering.
  
• Improved the on-screen element rendering queue improving drawing optimisation by an average of 20%
  
• Changed the way the pillars on which the tiles are placed are drawn, so they can display in Potato Mode 🥔.
  
• Changed the look of the toggle buttons so that you can see if it is on or off.
  
• Added a pulsing effect to tiles when 10 or fewer remain.
  
• They pulse even more intensely when 3 or fewer remain.
  
• Improved the level selection view that you can now preview the map before playing it. These were the last graphics in the code with the prefix test_*.
  
• Updated the appearance of challenge medals.
  
• This change allowed us to add point values, lengths, and combos achieved during the game.
  
• Further balanced the Crystals-1 level to make it fairer and reduce frustration.
