OK,
this may be the final beta release of 1.4!
I have added LOTS of new features, such as new levels, rearranged levels, changed the loading screen, added new ways to get help, cleaned up the internal components, and lots more. I have been working hard at this new one. However, on older systems or if you multi-task the game will load noticeably slower then the last release. I am very sorry about this, but the game has lots more to load now, so be glad that the 15 second wait is the only one you will have. To achieve the best performance possible on old machines, cleanup and optimize your computer before use, and a system restart is always a good step too. I plan to rebuild the entire game from scratch to resolve the issue, as I think there are unused items in the inside that I did not find. I will edit this post later in order to add the download. It WILL be up within the next hour or so, I promise.
OK, sorry about the delay...the server refused the upload and after looking at the file size I understood why. I have NO idea why the game got 2x its size from the last build, I made a lot of improvements but honestly cannot find where the source of the size explosion is coming from. The game is attatched, as usual, and the only updates I can think of that cause the size hike are:
New background for help room (but only 24kb in Windows)
New buttons for help room (only 16kb in Windows)
Change of font type and size in help file (honestly...)
REMOVAL of items (obviously not)
Addition of 2 new 2-player levels (my only logical explanation...but still)
Other then this there are no changes that would trigger a size increase, or the updates were insignificant such as moving an object or rearranging mines.
The server is STILL declining my upload request so I cannot upload the current build. I will work on this and have it resolved ASAP.
