I added a not-so-obvious improvement to the post-jam<\/strong> version: audio is now streamed<\/strong> instead of preloaded thanks to the buzz.js<\/a> library.<\/p>\n

This makes the game loading much quicker (as the biggest files were the background music in ogg and mp3 format) and opens the possibility of playing many different tunes without increasing load times.<\/p>\n

The downside<\/strong> is that with slow connections music might take a few seconds to start, but that doesn’t affect gameplay at all.<\/p>\n

Should I keep the music streaming or should I go back to preloading?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Play the jam version HERE<\/a> or the updated post-jam version HERE<\/a><\/p>\n \n
