Achievements and secret ad
Version 1.6.0 is out!
Achievements
I've added 4 achievements. Obviously you need to finish the game for most of them because I don't want the toast messages to interfere with the game. My main goal with this update was to update the QR code that pops up when you press A in the last screen of the game. When I first added a QR code, it was generated with your score and led to the scrolling enigma website. It looked like this:
I hoped that player would share this page to challenge their friends or unknown people on social media. Sadly, nobody shared it! 😭
So then I just replaced it with a hardcoded QR code (because generated QR code takes too much time on the Playdate) hoping people connect with me in social media (I don't have statistics on this).
So here is the catch, now I use a clearly identifiable Linktree QR code + an achievement so players are encouraged to connect 🤝. Let's see if that works. If you don't have the game and you want to connect with me, I'd appreciate it, let's connect!
Did you know that you can download Trophy Case to view all achievements from all your Playdate games?
Secret ad
If you played The Scrolling Enigma, you know that I love cheat codes, so I've just inserted a new, community-led one that shows a secret ad. Hope you like it 🤠
And tiny improvement
I've also added a way to stop scrolling when you turn the crank (just press ⬅️, ➡️or 🅱). That could help to see the solving animation of one enigma in fullscreen. 🧛
The update is available now on Itch and my own store (there may be some delay for Catalog).
