Piczle Cross Adventure mini-update now includes SAFE MODE.

Toggle SAFE MODE by pressing CTRL-C.

Q: What is SAFE MODE?
A: SAFE MODE changes nothing about the game but puts all human characters (and Gig) in protective face masks to show their support for protecting their fellow human beings (and whatever Gig is)!

Q: Why?
A: Video games are an escape from reality but also reflect reality. You may want to experience Piczle Cross Adventure through the lens of today's climate.
The new normal is people talking about "new normals", as well as wearing protective face masks when out in public to help protect the vulnerable. Score-chan, Gig and the professor want to do their bit!

Q: SAFE MODE infringes on my constitutionally protected rights to not see video game characters with face masks on.
A: The good news is that there is not yet any scientific evidence that tells us the virus is spread through digital media, so SAFE MODE in Piczle Cross Adventure is entirely optional.

Stay safe!

Version 1.0.3 is available now and includes a couple minor fixes:

- Made the "8" graphic used in levels, puzzle IDs and map stats a bit more 8-y to clear up confusion.
- Changed MAP shortcut button from TAB to SHIFT so that you can now alt-TAB out of the game without accidentally pausing or unpausing. This bug goes on the list of dumbest oversights imaginable.
- Removed a check to see if a save was required when exiting the fishing mini-game and forced a save instead.
- Added an upsetting animation of the red herring in distress so it's more obvious for players that they can pick it up (sorry fish fans!)
- Nerfed OP mouse users; i.e. fixed a bug that allowed players using mouse input to play mosaic puzzles beyond their level requirements.
- Added an extra check for the Piczle Grandmaster trophy after receiving the tutorial and clue roulette trophies, in case those were achieved last.
- Added a little fail-safe in case the fade in didn't "catch" during the intro sequences.
- Changed how puzzles in progress are saved and loaded to, hopefully, be more robust. Puzzles in progress saved before this update will be erased, sorry!

Version 1.0.2 is available now and includes a couple minor fixes:

- Fixed an issue where at certain times controller input was lost
- Increased hit detection on some world items for easier interaction
