The Jack Update

Update 1.1.0 — Jack

Meet Jack

ːsteamhappyːːsteamhappyːːsteamhappyː There is someone on your desktop now.

Jack is a little yellow assistant who sits in the corner and comments on your run. He is not helpful. He is occasionally helpful by accident.

He watches specifics. He notices the 7 you just took. He notices you put four tiles in the Slip. He notices which Token you bought and exactly how much you paid for it. He notices when you have been staring at the same tile for a while, and he will tell you it is not going to move.

• ALOT of lines of dialogue across 63 different things he reacts to, so he is not repeating himself at you
• Five expressions, a mouth that moves while he talks, and a voice
• He cuts the music when a line needs the silence
• He never covers the board and cannot be clicked by accident

If he is too much, he is adjustable. Settings → Desktop Assistant has Off, Occasional and Chatty. Occasional keeps him to the moments that matter. Chatty lets him fill the silence.

Fixed: four Tokens did nothing

This one is worth being plain about. Four Tokens never worked at all:

• Crowbar — strips the hazard off one tile you pick
• Demolition — removes one Bust you pick and recounts its neighbours
• Gold Plate — turns one tile you pick into a Gold tile
• Prism Shard — turns one tile you pick into a Holo tile

All four are targeted Tokens, and the targeting step was never being reached. Clicking them did nothing — no target prompt, no effect. The Token stayed in your tray, but the Cash you spent on it bought you nothing.

All four now work as described. Two of them are among the most expensive Tokens in the game, so if you bought one and wondered what you did wrong: you did nothing wrong.

Also

• Settings has a new Desktop Assistant section
• Jack scales up with TV mode along with everything else
