Fixed a bug where the screen after beating a boss would occasionally show as corrupted in some emulators. Also fixed a bug where one character sometimes did not generate on the password screen if the player had not died.
Achievements and Enhanced Graphics/Sound Modes
This update has been way too long coming. Eskimo Bob finally has achievements. All you achievement hounds can finally rejoice! I've also added enhanced graphics and sound modes to the game to give it a bit of 16-bit flair. If you'd prefer to go back to the original NES version, you can easily turn off the enhancements in the settings menu. Enjoy!
Eskimo Bob Deluxe Edition Update
Eskimo Bob has been updated to include the new features found in the updated Deluxe Edition, released earlier this year for NES.
New features include animated background tiles, three save slots for passwords, a custom border, and a more intuitive menu system.
The game engine has been ported from Java to Unity, which should provide a better experience for most players.
Enjoy!
Volume Controls
I've added some volume controls to the menu screen, allowing you to adjust the volume for music and sound effects individually.
Before anyone asks, there is still no progress on the achievements yet. I've been focued on the NES launch and fulfilling Kickstarter backer rewards for the past couple of weeks, but I still plan on looking into it!
Update and minor bug fix
I've updated the game palette to better reflect the look of the upcoming NES version. Also fixed a small bug where some text was cut off at the top of the screen when reading the manual and made music change more frequently to avoid repetition.
No achievements yet, but I'm working on it, I promise!
Minor Update
I've added a continue option to the title screen, allowing you to skip entering a password. Of course, you can still input a password if you want to, but this should speed things up, and also prevent you from accidentally messing up a password when all you really want to do is continue your game. Just like the password, the continue option will auto-save between play sessions.
