v1.5.0 - FIXED - All Yarn Actually Catchable!
๐ **MAJOR FIX - Z-Depth Problem Solved:**
- Yarn was spawning at different Z-depths (looked close but was 3 units away!)
- ALL yarn now spawns at Z=0 (same plane as your ship)
- Ship locked to Z=0 as well (no depth confusion)
โจ **Much Better Collision:**
- Increased collision range from 1.5 to 2.0 units
- VERY generous - if yarn looks close, you'll catch it!
- No more "hovering over but can't catch" issue
๐ฏ **Simplified Floating:**
- Yarn only drifts on X and Y (side to side, up and down)
- NO Z-axis drift (stays at same depth as ship)
- Tighter bounds (yarn won't drift out of reach)
๐ฎ **The Fix:**
Before: Yarn at z=-3, ship at z=0 โ looks close, 3 units apart!
Now: Both at z=0 โ if it looks close, it IS close!
This should be the final fix for catchability! ๐ฑ๐งถ
v1.4.0 - Floating Yarn & Better Challenge!
๐ฏ **All Yarn Now Reachable!**
- Yarn spawns in circular pattern (evenly distributed)
- All yarn balls guaranteed to be within ship range
- No more unreachable yarn at edges!
โจ **Floating Yarn Balls!**
- Yarn now drifts gently in space (sine wave motion)
- Makes catching them more dynamic and fun
- Requires timing and skill - not just position!
- Yarn stays within bounds (won't drift away)
๐ **More Exciting Gameplay:**
- MORE asteroids (5 base, faster scaling)
- FASTER asteroids (18% faster base speed)
- Ship movement range adjusted (can't go too far)
- Ship bounded to playable area
๐ก **Design Philosophy:**
- Asteroids = the challenge (dodge them!)
- Floating yarn = the skill (catch at right moment!)
- All yarn reachable = fair and fun!
Perfect balance of challenge and achievability! ๐ฑโจ
v1.3.0 - CRITICAL FIX - Yarn Now Visible!
๐ **CRITICAL GAME-BREAKING BUG FIXED:**
- Yarn balls were spawning BEHIND the camera (invisible!)
- Fixed yarn spawn positions to be in front of camera (z: -5 to +5)
- Game is now actually playable!
โจ **Yarn Visibility Improvements:**
- Made yarn balls 50% BIGGER (0.4 โ 0.6 radius)
- DOUBLED emissive brightness (easier to spot)
- Made glow 80% bigger and brighter
- Increased collection range for easier pickup
๐ฏ **Asteroid Improvements:**
- Fixed asteroid spawn positions (were also too far away)
- Asteroids now properly cycle from behind camera
- Better visible distance for challenging gameplay
Now you can actually SEE and COLLECT the golden yarn balls! Sorry for the bug! ๐
v1.2.0 - Faster & More Fun!
๐ **Major Gameplay Improvements:**
- 2x FASTER ship movement - more responsive controls!
- FASTER asteroids - much more challenging!
- More asteroids per level for excitement
- Bigger, faster particle explosions
โจ **Clear Progress System:**

- Clear objective display: "Collect X more yarn!"
- Shows exact progress (3/5 yarn)
- Better instructions on title screen
๐ฎ **Gameplay Enhancements:**
- More yarn at higher levels (scales with difficulty)
- Bonus life every 3 levels (max 5 lives)
- Faster animations (yarn rotation, particles)
- Pulsing glow effects on yarn
- Small delay on level complete for satisfaction
๐ฏ Perfect for 10-year-olds - fast, clear, and challenging!
