  Geocells Tricells Beta & 2.1.0 Patch Notes

  Overview As we work to create the third game in the Geocells series, we have some new features currently in development that will eventually be included in all Geocells games (as v3.0). Rather than waiting until everything is finalised and the next game is released, we have decided to make some of these features available early as beta features so that current Geocells players are able to access them sooner. The new features are not as polished or tested as they will be by the time Geocells v3.0 is ready, so we are introducing them as optional beta features. All beta features are opt-in, so they will not affect the play experience for players wanting a stable and well tested set of features. We will make sure to differentiate between beta features and other updates in our patch notes. Bug Fixes Bug fix: Post-game bonus levels now load applicable save data correctly. Bug fix: Changing profiles no longer sometimes temporarily freezes the game. Bug fix: When the 'random rotations' challenge is enabled, all cell graphics and animations now have the correct orientation after each grid rotation (instead of some displaying upside down or backwards). Bug fix: When completing a level with no mistakes, the 'perfect' text sound now plays only once instead of playing multiple times. New Beta Features Beta mode overview: A number of new Geocells features have been partially developed but are not yet ready for release. To provide an opportunity for players to get an early preview of upcoming features, a new option has been added to toggle beta features on or off. Beta features are only available in the full versions of Geocells games (not in the free demos). To enable beta features: Run the game, open the options menu, navigate to the game tab, then select ‘enable beta features’. This will enable the beta options menu which includes a section for all of the beta features. New options menu (beta feature): A new options menu has been implemented with scrolling support to allow for ...

  Major Update (Geocells v2.0) Available Now

  Geocells is a continuously evolving series of games that aims to expand beyond existing logic puzzle solving experiences. In this spirit, the Geocells version 2.0 update brings a full rewrite of the entire code base from the ground up to support future development and to bring in the first batch of major improvements. This update is completely free for anyone who owns Geocells Tricells. While these changes require an update to the save data format, extensive efforts and testing have been invested to ensure that existing save data will be automatically upgraded smoothly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOW2ShjXo3M Following community feedback regarding challenges and progression, the challenge levels have now been merged with the regular levels, allowing all 6 gems to be earned in a single playthrough. Additionally, the ‘no mistakes’ challenge has been replaced with a new ‘random rotations’ challenge which intermittently changes the orientation of the puzzle, after correctly identifying a certain number of cells. These adjustments should provide additional longevity and replayability to the existing puzzles while reducing repetition and grind for completion. For those looking for even more gameplay and challenge after a regular playthrough, some new free post-game bonus levels have been added. These levels provide challenges that reach far beyond the difficulty of the regular levels. In order to support players to experience all the content at an accessible level, we have added freely available hints that provide guidance on where one or more cells can be identified using logic, without giving away the final result. Combined with the new ‘auto-disable completed clues’ option, this should assist players to more easily identify the next step in solving the puzzle without needing to engage in ‘treasure hunting’ (or 'pixel hunting') through clues. On the topic of new assists, the new ‘freedraw notes’ provides a mechanism for indicating and storing information outside of ...
