Open Nectar 1.0.3
This release makes Pikmin 2 easier to play on Android touch screens and
redesigns its Randomizer window to work like the one in Pikmin 1. Saves,
settings and texture packs carry over.
Updating: press Update in your launcher. On Android, install the new
APK over the old one.
Pikmin 2: touch controls (Android)
- The landing prompt on the map can be answered by touch. When you
pick an area on the map, the yes/no question about landing did not react
to the touch screen. Now a cancel button appears in the bottom-left
corner and a confirm button in the bottom-right corner. - The same two buttons appear in the other game menus, so you can always
confirm or go back with your thumbs, even where tapping an option does
not respond.
Pikmin 2: Randomizer window
- Same layout as Pikmin 1. The window now has two pages:
- Introduction: a short explanation of what the Randomizer does.
A continues, B goes back to the title screen. - Randomizer Settings: one row per option with its value in a box
(< value >). Use the arrows to change it, or tap the left or right
half of the box. B goes back to the introduction.
- Introduction: a short explanation of what the Randomizer does.
- Seed code row: press A to type a friend's code (on Android this opens
the keyboard). Ctrl+C copies your code and Ctrl+V pastes one. An invalid
code keeps your current one and shows a warning. - New random seed row to roll a new seed, and a Start button at the
bottom. - Fits on phone screens. The window used to be too big on Android and
was cut off; it now shrinks to fit the screen. - The window uses Pikmin 2's own menu plates and text style.
