Based on feedback here and in other fourms, I've made the following changes so far:
- Changed clouds photo on Level Select screen.
- Removed shutdown text.
- Made bonus tips only appear if the mouse is held over the bonus for a short period of time.
- Bonus now tips remain for 4 seconds when the mouse is moved off the bonus.
- Holding the mouse on a Bonus no longer keeps an Invalid Move tip on-screen indefinitely.
- Bonus tips will only appear 3 times for each bonus item.
- Invalid Move tips will only appear 2 times for each type.
- The number of remaining Bonus tips and Invalid Move tips are saved in your profile.
- The first time you click a matchstick, paintbrush or star a dialog will appear telling you how to use it.
- If you exit the game via the X in the top right of the window or by pressing Ctrl+X, your profile is now saved.
- Lives are now represented by egg icons.
- When the candle only has 30 seconds left, a timer will be displayed on the candle base, and a beep will be made every second.
- A Time Bonus is now added to your score at the end of the level.
- You can no longer click Menu during a Time Up/No More Moves or Level Complete animation.
- You can no longer drag matchsticks, paintbrushes and stars onto adjacent squares by accident.
- Increased Time Limit on levels 3-8.
- Removed some ice from levels 3 and 4 to make them easier.
- The default High Score table now contains different names.
The long and short of this is that the tip system has been improved so that it's easier to use the matchstick, brush and star, plus I've done some other cosmetic stuff and some very minor fixes.
Thanks for everyone's input so far ... Any more?
