Uncapped Frame-Rate, Ultra-wide Display Support, and more in 1.0!


Hello again Squid fans! Just your friendly reminder that this game is still being worked on. In hindsight I think 1.0 should've been split into one more pretest version and then an official release but eh. I've already committed to this one massive update, might as well see it through! I've intentionally been keeping some of the bigger additions for this update vague, but I wanted to highlight some more technical changes that will be coming for 1.0! Firstly is proper ultra-wide display support. If you play this game currently on an ultra-wide you likely have noticed the game just appears stretched and ugly. That won't be a problem with 1.0. Along with that, I added the option to uncap the FPS from 60 if you want. So anyone with a high refresh rate monitor can get those smooth buttery frames! That's all for now, 1.0 should be released very soon so keep an eye open!

Running and Orb of Confusion

I wanted to make more ways to escape Squid's wrath, so I've come up with two new additions: a Running mechanic, and the Orb of Confusion. I won't go into much detail on these yet, but they will be released next update soon!

Made a lot of progress with GameJolt API. Here's some pictures of the current trophy designs, hopefully the update will be ready soon!

GameJolt API coming soon!

GameJolt API is being integrated into Squid! This means there will be scoreboards and other cool new features! It's also worth noting that signing in will be completely optional, meaning offline play is still allowed if desired.
