Plangman v2.6.6
Plangman » Devlog
Plangman v2.6.6 is now live! This release contains some significant improvements, and I'm excited for you to try it out. If you have feedback on any of the changes, please leave a comment below.
- Added a bloom effect to approximate the warm glow of a CRT monitor. It can be turned off by switching the Quality setting from High to Medium. Note that if you previously downloaded the Deluxe Edition, the game may default to Medium quality, and you'll need to switch it to High in order to see this new effect.
- Updated the default controls so that Space is now jump. Many players were thrown off by having to move and jump with the same hand, and by the fact that Space selected blocks instead of jumping. The game now supports the following controls:
Move | Arrow keys | A/D | XBox Controller thumbstick or D-pad |
Jump | X, Space, or Up | Space or W | (A) |
Select blocks | C or Down | R-Shift or S | (X) |
Use bomb | V | Enter | (B) |
Move slowly | L-Shift | L-Shift | N/A |
- Increased the speed of the story text.
- Modified the jump button to advance the story text instead of immediately clearing it.
- Updated the clue on Level Y/25.
- Made the casing and font size of the end game messages consistent.
- Removed the Challenge a Friend preview from the web version.
- Added a downloadable zip of all the visual clues used in the game.
- Added a downloadable zip of an early (and very rough) prototype of the game called Langman. It was a minor hit on Kongregate back in 2010/2011, and some people apparently still remember it fondly. Unfortunately, the Kongregate version is now unplayable, due to the fact that the legacy Unity Web Player is no longer supported by any browsers. But if you'd like to experience this part of Plangman's history, now you can download a Windows build of the early prototype, plus its chiptune soundtrack (which featured artists from the now-defunct 8-Bit Collective website).
v2.6.6.1:
- Added scrolling credits when you beat the game, and simplified the other game completion states to just show "The End".
v2.6.6.2:
- Fixed WebGL requestAnimationFrame javascript error.
- Added specialized on-screen instructions for the Xbox controller and other gamepads.
- Updated on-screen instructions to list more control bindings.
- Limited max number of words per level to three in the web version.
