Good news! Previously, CCGR kindly reviewed Puzzledorf and gave it a solid review score of 88/100, something I was very proud of! Recently, I told them how the game has been updated with the 24 new beginner puzzles, updated graphics and the new, original soundtrack. Well, they loved it all so much that they updated the score to 94/100! I am super pleased with that!
Not only that, the reviewer loved the soundtrack so much he says he loves relaxing with the music in the background and recommends people check out the soundtrack store page!
You can read the full, updated review from CCGR here.
Thanks again to everyone who has been supporting Puzzledorf! It is greatly appreciated!
As mentioned above, the game now features 24 new beginner puzzles designed to help ease new players into the game. They also include new achievements and, of course, Mirror Mode counterparts. The graphics have been updated, with all the classic and Christmas levels having a fresh new look with lots more environmental decorations and variations. And, of course, there's the new original soundtrack. Hope you enjoy playing!
Soundtrack preview:
Latest game trailers from the update:
v2.7.4 Small Fixes
Issues with some previews displaying wrong graphics fixed
Button icons updated for colour blind
Other small fixes
v2.7.3 Colour Blind Fixes
The colourblind previews for the coloured shapes were showing the previews with the old graphics. Now fixed.
v2.7.2b Achievement Bug Fixed
There were bugs with when some of the achievements weren't rewarded at the correct time, or not at all. This should now be fixed.
Soundtrack - Wishlist Now!
The store page for the sound track is now live, so you can wishlist the sound track now! See it here. The tracks and play times are listed below.
The sharp eyed among you may notice two things: one, the world numbers are absent. Next update , I'll be giving each of the worlds an actual name, to go with it's theme song.
Two, you might notice some are labelled "beginner". There are 24 new beginner puzzles coming next update.
While the current difficulty scaling works well for most players, there seems to be a gap for some new players who aren't used to puzzle games. The new beginner puzzles should help ease inexperienced players in.
You can also here short previews of all of the existing tracks on youtube here, however, some songs have had mild updates, and I haven't uploaded those versions to Youtube yet, so there may be minor differences.
Out Today - New Christmas Music
Update summary:
New Christmas music added
New music in credits
Mirror mode now unlocked from the start
Price the same for now, until next update - then it's changing
New Music
New original music has been added for the Christmas levels, to replace the old licensed music, as well as the credits.
I still have to add music for the Christmas menu and title screens that will be used in the holiday season and included in the new soundtrack that will be releasing soon.
Mirror Mode Changes
From now, everyone will be able to play Mirror Mode immediately. Previously you had to beat the "Normal Mode" of a puzzle set before unlocking the mirror versions. Now, if players get stuck on the normal puzzles, they can choose to go and work on Mirror Mode. This gives players more options.
Price Changes
Just to remind people, the price is staying the same for now, but will increase to $10 USD with the next update. The soundtrack will also release soon at $10 USD.
Next Update
Aside from price changes and the sound track being released next update, this is when the next lot of graphics updates will be coming. Given the time now, I am hoping that release may happen in September.

The new music for Classic Mode has now been added to the game, as well as the new graphics for Worlds 3 and 4 of Classic Mode. There are also new, animated title and menu screens. There have been minor volume adjustments to the base levels of the sound effects and music so existing players may want to adjust their volumes again.
Pricing
Pricing hasn't changed yet. I will release the new Christmas music very soon, then when I update the graphics in the following update (probably in August), I will increase the price of the game to $8 USD at this time, as well as release the new official Soundtrack to buy on Steam at $8 USD.
