This time around I focused on the features, that make the gaming experience more comfortable. Here are the many small updates:

Music:
The first notable change when you start the game will be the different music. I have added a three minutes long background music and new effects for the button clicks. Most importantly, the background music is now playing continuously without restarting while loading a new scene.

UI:
To further improve the user interface I added some simple animations, new headlines and a new Logo for “Out of Chimney”. Additionally, there is a notification that always shows up, when you got a new high score within a level.

Link to game page:
There is now a “Visit us”-Button in the options-menu. This will take you to the itch.io site from this game. That way you can always easily check for new updates.

App Icons:
At this point it was time to work on the outward appearance. “Out of Chimney” is now represented by a new set of app-icons, which show the new Smokey in his new art style.

Homepage:
Continuing the theme of outward appearance and linking the game page, this homepage of “Out of Chimney” got a complete rework: screenshots, banner, tab icon, font, color schemes, background and promotion images. The page finally fits to the new style of the game.

Bugfixes:
Last but not least this update contains a couple of bugfixes. There were no game breaking bugs, but small mistakes in the logic calculating the relative high score, the tutorial and the audio management.
