Slice N' Pies V3.1 is finally here!

After taking a break from Slice N' Pies for a few months and thinking a lot about the game and feedback over that time, a new version is finally out!

OPPOSITE DAY MODE:

The first major new feature is a new mode - the opposite day. In this mode, significantly more pies appear, but you are not allowed to collect them. If you collect even a single pie, you lose. Dashes and points are awarded as soon as a pie has touched the lava! 

Speaking of dashes: Instead of ten or even twenty, you only have three in this mode from the start, so be careful.

PERKS:

The second new feature changes the gameplay itself - perks. Before the start of a round, you will be able to choose one of three perks.  These serve as abilities in the rounds. To ensure that they are not too strong, you must first recharge the perks after using them. Each perk has its strengths and weaknesses. Perks gave me the opportunity to tackle a problem in the game, namely that every round is exactly the same and every player has to play the same way to be successful. Now every player has the opportunity to find their own playstyle or to make the rounds more varied. This has also added a tactical touch.

TUTORIAL:

I was told that most players were a bit confused about the objective and controls at the beginning, so I added a tutorial. It's simple and short, but explains all the basics of the game, including one of the three new perks.

NEW SKINS:

There are three new skins available that can be unlocked in the new mode - a tennis player, fries and Mr. Witty the Clown.

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES:

There were also some improvements to be made outside of the gameplay. For example, there is now finally a proper UI for the dash display in the round. In addition, there is now a transition with a short waiting time and a countdown before the round begins. This means that players are not simply thrown into the action straight away, which has often led to confusion, unnecessary deaths and frustration. Other changes include the removal of the outline of all buttons, a new font, pies now fall behind the lava and no longer in front of it, pies are no longer in front of the death screen and a general massive performance optimization.

BUG FIXES:

-fixed a bug which caused the collection of some pies not to count

-fixed a bug that caused some collected pies not to disappear

-fixed a bug that caused no particles to appear when collecting some pies

-fixed a bug that caused no sound to be played when collecting some pies

-fixed a bug that sometimes caused you to randomly receive a point and dash at the start of a round

-fixed a bug that caused you to get a point from the lava before you lose
