THE LAB:
--------------
- You no longer auto-exit Prof. Pig’s lab after crafting.
- Something flashes on the lab monitor... not sure if this means anything.
- 3PI and 3BI spins has been fixed. If you have those Energonicons, it's coins, gems and materials in all five slots
- More space between retry/collect buttons
- If you've made a recipe with materials from the far right, if you don't exit the lab, but tap to make another recipe using BP or SR, you're still at that spot and don't have to scroll across.
SETTINGS:
----------------
- You can enable/disable "cloud load". Note that it still **SAVES**
to the cloud. There is an explanation of this
HERE.
- Something called "Adreno Driver Fix". Some Android users have experienced screen glitches, and we believe that's what this is for. It does partially work.
- Access the new Settings screen by
tapping the second little dot.
COSMETIC:
--------------
- Tiny little Santa silhouette rides through the background while playing nodes.
- Astrotrain has a red nose and antlers.
- Inside of Astrotrain decorated with Christmas tree etc.
- Candy Canes, Snowmen, Presents, etc. used throughout.
- Night sky in all nodes, but most visible in Jenga & beaches.
- Some objects covered with frost/ice.
NOT CHANGED:
------------------------
- No coins when Photoblast takes down a missile.
- Updating Your Progress bug occurs! See above new "Setting" for stop-gap.
- In lab, you have to scroll left/right to access all 7 materials.
- Thank you rewards from friends broken. They inconsistently come through.
- Facebook connectivity still inconsistent.
- Leaderboard does not load consistently, and there seems to be no logic to which friends are on it or not (known high-level friends are missing). Only ~30 to 33 friends load, when it loads.
