SiNKR is one of the 20 finalists for the MomoCon 2018 Indie Game Awards! This is thrilling news! Come say hello and give SiNKR a play at MomoCon in Atlanta this May.
The fourth annual MomoCon Indie Game Awards Showcase will honor its top 20 finalists at MomoCon 2018, taking place Thursday – Sunday, May 24 – 27, 2018 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. More than 35,000 unique attendees are expected at the show, where the developers will exhibit their games on the largest gaming exhibition floor in the southeast United States.

Controller mode quality of life: Mobile release backports
SiNKR is now on a whole bucket of mobile-ly devices from iPhones, iPads, to Android and Android TV. Steam users get the benefits of the quality of life updates. Most the updates affect controller users.
- Tweak level 23 (static kicker training level) to help reinforce the square / circle mechanic. Solution is basically unchanged.
- Controller mode selection (DPAD and analog) automatically widens selection cone if the narrow, precise cone doesn't find a contraption to activate
- Increase hit area of hooks that are grabbing pucks to allow easier hook flipping
- Don't close main menu when pressing back after returning from game end scene when using a controller or remote
- Controller mode ensures another reel is selected automatically when the currently selected reel is destroyed
- Increase hit area of hooks to make them easier to flip with mouse and touch
- Controller DPAD selection cone is narrower and allows for more precise selection similar to the analog stick, especially when pressing adjacent DPAD buttons. For example, pressing down (south) and left (west) at the same will point the DPAD selection cone south west.
- Moved reset button from lower right to upper right corner of the screen to minimize accidental resets on touchscreens
Level selection grouped by puzzle type. Audio sliders & more ...
SiNKR has just been updated!
- Separate level selection menu into groups by level type to make it easier to find a particular level
- Update Unity player to 5.6.4p3 in an effort to help with startup and multi-screen video issues
- Add audio sliders to options screen
- FullScreen/Windowed toggle status tracks changes made using the OS widgets and hotkeys and picks the OS default resolution going fullScreen
