V2 !
BUG FIXES
- Further retries and fixes to online scoreboard submissions
- No more screen jolts on bin pick up and truck entry
- Fixed: B button was crashing tutorial
- Fixed: Rewatching credits could cause a crash
- Fixed: Various issues where houses were complaining at the wrong time
- Refactoring and general improvements and fixes
SCREEN LAYOUT CHANGES
- Level meter moved to bottom of screen
- Removal of control hints
- Binz and truck sections highlight when interactable
- Help arrows now appear as soon as binz are put out (originally only showed when resident complained)
- Phone lives icons vibrate when a resident is irate and about to complain
- New mini map! Check the top of the screen for your truck location, spills and which houses have bins out.
- black house = no bin
- white house = bin out
- flashing house = complaining resident
- Other minor alignment and cosmetic improvements
SIMPLER CONTROLS
- Single Action button for all bin and truck interactions (player can use UP or DOWN or A as action button)
- Brush moved to B button
- Super truck horn moved to B button
- Super truck remote removed (negated by mini map)
- Trucks now auto load binz! No cranking or truck entry required.
- Trucks can be driven when bin is loading. No more waiting to drive or spills.
- Crank either direction to lift bin or dump, smoother movement and animation too.
- Can load a bin from anywhere along the truck (previously needed to be right at the back)
- Dump / recycling centre can be driven into normally (no holding up button required)
DIFFICULTY & BALANCING IMPROVEMENTS
- Increased time between binz being put out
- Less randomisation on binz spawning. Same house will not put binz out consecutively
- Less meter required for some levels
- Binz are counted as collected as soon as you grab hold of them (previously needed to be moved away from house)
- Enemies spawn slower in later levels
- No binz with a load of only 1 in later levels (slowed down gameplay and level completion time too much)
- Some unlockables and secret endings now easier to obtain
- Spills only cause a game over after you have received the brush
BONUS ROUNDS
- bonus rounds only need to be played once to unlock practice on main menu (previously you had to win)
- CATCH GAME - reduced to one bin and you are always dragging it to just catch one colour
- RACE GAME - start in truck, no external loading required. Mash A to fill and press right to drive.
- FOOTBALL GAME - No moving. Just time your shot with A. 1 penalty required, 3 attempts.
AUDIO
- Some additional useful audio cues
OTHER
- Tutorial updates with the new controls
- New secret skin. Quack Quack !
- couple of fixed typos
