Ice Careen update (v20250925-02)


Heya! Happy to share a new update of Ice Careen. The big one is adding Keyboard/Controller support! Ben (the programmer and the person writing this) doesn't play many falling block games and honestly didn't know that predominately this kind of gameplay is done with a controller 😅 

A few additional quality of life updates as well to help people along. Here's the full list:

  • Added keyboard and controller support 🥳
  • Added a main menu toggle to disable the mouse during gameplay so it doesn't mess up your board
  • Added a "speed" toggle to help get through the earlier slow stages
  • Extended combo grace period by two in-game heartbeats
  • Fixed bug where objects will combo in mid-air
  • Game heartbeats increase at a slower pace between stages
  • Ice cream doesn't melt as quickly between stages
  • Ice cream moves between tiles faster to reduce confusion as to what space it occupies

I'll be updating the game page with the controls, but just in case you wanted to grab and play, here they are:

  • MOVE - WASD / Arrow keys / Left stick / Left D-Pad
  • SWAP / UI Confirm - Space, J, K, face buttons
  • PAUSE - Escape, Start button
  • SPEEDUP - Right MB, Left/Right Shift, Right trigger

Hope you enjoy the updates, thanks again for playing and offering so much fantastic feedback!
