PhaseWormPatch Notes
Information about each released version of PhaseWorm.
0.3.0
2023 Jan 11
After over 2 years of silence, I’m excited to announce another new feature release which takes the game from 0.2.x to 0.3.x. That’s right, PhaseWorm development has restarted!
-
New Features!
- Xbox and Gamepad controller support! Xinput controller should be automatically detected and usable in the game’s engine with no additional configuration needed.
- Quick restart! Press ` (tilde) or the select / back button on your Xbox controller to instantly restart any level.
- Phase predictors will now change depending on your controller input scheme to show you the correct keyboard key xor Xbox controller button, depending on what it senses you are using.
-
Backend:
- Refactored all input handling from the ground up using Unity’s new input system.
- Single PlayerInput now runs per scene instead of multiple competing input listeners.
- Fixed a bug where players could crash the game creating a profile.
-
Misc:
- Added MikeIsMyIke, first person to beat the game, into the credits as a tester.
- Fixed Unsightly Credits Kerfuffle. Deleted A Name.
0.2.2
2020 Aug 31
-
Refactored all scenes in Unity with a base resolution of 1920x1080, rather than 800x600 (ie: a 16:9 default instead of a 4:3 default). This should correct an issue with ultrawide resolutions (tested with 2560x1080) while menuing.
-
Changed algorithm for in-game dynamic scaling of screen size to support ultra widescreen resolutions as well as 4:3. This means two algorithms are used, and we always then choose the one which is more zoomed out.
0.2.1
2020 Jul 15
- Fixed a bug which caused sound settings not to persist if the application was restarted.
0.2.0
2020 Jul 13
I’m excited to announce the new feature release which takes the game from 0.1.x to 0.2.x.

0.1.7
2020 May 04
- Fixed a minor typo in the Unity properties for Level 27 - “Intersections in Real Time” which was causing it not to log player deaths or medals on this stage.
