this is Welon, my critically-acclaimed* Suika Game clone inspired online game where you stack and merge fruits!
if you've seen or played Suika Game, this is gonna look mighty familiar. i've attempted to put my own spin on it, though, which mainly manifests with a custom Tetris-inspired scoring system that features combos, and the loss condition being a fruit falling out of the box rather than just the stack getting too high.
changelog:
- Performance improvements (trying to minimize pointless DOM mutations and CSS parsing)
- Added a pause menu letting you manually start over whenever you want and a few other things
- Added an options menu that lets you tweak performance tradeoffs and sound volume
- Fruit generation is now based on a shuffled bag rather than being purely random
- Tetris players will know this randomization strategy as "14-bag"
- Migrated to xoshiro256** instead of using the browser's built-in randomness
- This makes way for demos in the future and ensures a good seedable algorithm is always used
- The FPS is now tracked and is available in the console under
Welon.fps - Various internal refactors
- Added an animation when fruits merge together
- Welon bonus is now separate from the score from creating the actual welon
- The bonus is also now a fixed 128,000 points instead of being based on the combo
- Game time tracking now excludes time spent paused
- You are now prompted to confirm when closing the game if you have dropped a fruit
