New features in V1.01:

  • Added support for an ANIMATED thief, lots of wacky things are possible now including rotation, scaling of your thief icon, all with pixel accurate collision detection! Akiko did a new level showing off the new features, really cool
  • Added Bridge/tunnel support, the thief can go under things
  • The base levels were adjusted a bit, balanced better
  • Added options screen with an EASY MODE setting to which gives you a smaller thief icon making the game easier! Works with most user levels too. (best times not saved on easy mode)
  • After unlocking a level the next level is automatically highlighted now
  • Upon dying you can see EXACTLY where you hit the wall/obstacle now
  • Added script command "set_special|deadly" to make a sprite kill the thief on contact, it was annoying having to make sure the "kill color" was in the graphic before
  • Collision detections to touch power-ups and the finish were upgraded, now pixel accurate.
  • Added script command "max_time_possible", authors can choose to let time-powerups let players go over the starting time if they wish.
  • The big count number now has a black border, easier to read on some custom level backgrounds
  • Time meter border looks better
  • Some cooler menu music
  • Included two small user levels (Smash and a new one especially for this upgrade called The Rotator)

    Bug fixes:

  • Small memory leak in the font rendering code fixed
  • It is no longer possible to cheat by moving really fast - it was especially noticable on the Jornada
  • Fixed bug where winning a user level could actually advance you on main game levels in some cases
  • The game timer is started AFTER the level is loaded rather than before, was cheating slow loaders a second or so.
