Version 0.9.0 Changelog

(Note: there are far too many changes from the game jam version, we've listed some big ones here)

• Animations have been reworked
• Artwork has been updated
• New Units:
  • Mermaid
  • Ogre

  • Create/Editor to create your own boards
    • Board size
    • Randomize or use color wheel to pick the fog color
    • Includes ability to link a "Next Round". Next round starts automatically in Custom Match game when the round is beaten. However, the editor's "play" button will return you to the editor for the round you are editing instead when beaten.
• Addition of Tile types:
  • Water Tile: this is the wet kind of water. (Currently no effect, future versions will give a movement boost to Mermaids)
  • Pitfall Tile: you step on it, you fall in the pit!

• Prestige. XP is already being awarded for games completed. However, it isn't displayed yet.
