v1.1.0 released! Happy Anniversary!

Happy birthday, Snowshovel! I know it’s a day early, but tomorrow is going to be very busy for me, so I have released an update for the game:

Gameplay changes:

• Tweaked player movement and drag. The shoveler now starts moving much faster, and stops almost immediately when movement is released. For some reason this is a bit janky in the web embed version.
• Significantly improved getting out of pits, the snow removal pattern for walking used to be bugged.
• Added a level after the hard levels that works as a sort of “outro”, made for a video.
• Added snowfall hazard. Only used once for the outro level, but can be found in the infinite levels. They’re scary!
• The infinite levels now make use of the base level’s placed snow pile attributes. This adds a lot of variety to these levels.
• It is now less likely for an infinite level to be stormy or absolutely flooded with snow.
• Added an actual game over screen that appears when you run out of time or a snowfall falls on you.

Graphical & Audio changes:

• Sky now smoothly transitions to different colors on level change.
• The game now darkens when it is stormy, and the sky gets much darker.
• Some levels now have the cabin’s lights off. Looks like the power went out.
• Changed the said lines to be unique if the cabin’s power is on or off.
• Added a new track that plays when in hard or infinite levels.
• You now play as the cabin shoveler in the hard levels. This also changes the color of the door.
• Infinite levels now randomly pick if you play as the default or the cabin shoveler.
• Changed version text at bottom left.

Technical changes:

• Merged web embed compressions into the main version.
• Simple toggle is used that gets flipped if the game is a web embed, changing the music stream type.
• Optimized a lot of code for level name display.
• Optimized how hard and infinite levels are defined, now through an attribute in level data.
• Improved how input is handled, fixes some bugs when two of the same input is pressed.
• Floating graphics in levels are now level attributes instead of hard coded for the first level.
