Update 1


In this update I added a number of things.

- There's two new music tracks to ease the tedium of listening to a single piece of music over and over. I've made a small script to control the music to ensure that the player doesn't hear the same instrumental repeatedly. The script checks the last track played and removes it from the queue of tracks to be considered to play next.  I've also updated the new magnet pickup with an appearance and picked sound. I've added a little vibration whenever the red pickup is picked in Android phones to alert you of the mistake.

- I've added a shader that flashes whenever the green pickup and red pickup are picked. This shader flashes the vehicle frame to alert the player of the pickup

- I've modified the MPESA button to now bring up a donation window in which you can type in your phone number and a donation amount and see a prompt on your phone to enter your MPESA PIN and send the developer a donation. This applies mostly for persons who own Safaricom numbers.

- I've added an option to use tilt steering for android

- I've added a time modification feature, where each pickup picked modifies the gameplay time somehow. The brown pickup add a second to the gameplay time, while the green pickup adds three seconds and the red pickup subtracts two seconds. A magnet pickup also appears intermittently that lasts for a few seconds and attracts every pickup nearby.

- I've added an instruction menu to the main menu to explain some of the features of the game. It includes a list of the keyboard controls.

- I've added grass to the playing ground to add more texture there. The grass has a wave shader so it moves back and forth as if blowing in the wind. I was worried it would affect the frames per second as I intend for the game to be played on low-end PCs and mobile phones, but seemingly it runs on at least 60 FPS in most of the places I've tested it. 


Let me know of any other suggestions and ideas I can implement, as most of these improvements have been added from player suggestions.

Once again I appreciate zoro-dev's ball chaser for the inspiration. Give it a whirl too.

Enjoy!
