Description

This update adds support for multiple candies and multiple Om Noms in one level.

The update also adds:

• A Vulkan rendering backend.
• Level playtesting for Cut the Rope DX: Level Editor.
• Gameplay, graphics, physics, and audio fixes.

Highlights

• Levels can contain multiple candies and multiple Om Noms.
• A new rope connector object connects ropes to supported objects.
• Uses DesktopVK backend for Vulkan rendering.
• Sprite batching and ring-buffer uploads improve graphics performance.
• Command-line support lets external level editors start level playtests.
• A handshake signal tells an external editor when the game is ready.
• Mobile physics mode is no longer a beta feature.
• Mobile physics now uses collision values that do not depend on the texture atlas.
• Implements correct mobile physics for rockets, snails, and water.
• Custom levels can use the levelName attribute in the map element.
• Each rocket and electric spark can now stop its own looped sound.
• Looped sounds no longer stop unrelated short sound effects.
• Rockets now stop their animation when they enter water.
• Fast transporters now wrap objects correctly.
• Lantern, rope, gun, robohand, snail, and bouncer interactions now work correctly.
