The followup release v0.12.1 makes several optimizations to free up SDL2
textures and more proactively unload level chunks that are not visible on
screen but there is still room for improvement. Try the "F3" debug overlay
feature to see details of memory usage and texture counts. I observed
the Azulian Tag level to use up to 1.8 GB memory which may still be taxing
on low-powered devices like the Pinephone with its 2GB total RAM.
For custom user levels it is recommended to keep them "light" with line art
and avoid large areas filled with color.

### Player is not meant to climb walls
See [above](#player-shouldnt-be-able-to-climb-walls). Currently there is a bug
where the player can climb some vertical walls. Built-in levels avoid the issue
by drawing overhangs at the tops of walls or slant the wall back towards the
player. Do not rely on the ability to climb walls for custom levels - they will
break on a future update.

title: "v0.12.1 Released"
date: 2022-04-16T18:25:39-07:00
draft: false

A new version of _Sketchy Maze_ has been released and this one focuses on
improving performance and memory usage of the game. Two of the game's levels
("Azulian Tag - Forest" and "Shapeshifter") were especially taxing on the
game and 32-bit builds could sometimes crash for running out of memory! The
game tries to be much nicer about freeing up memory when not in use and more
proactively loading/unloading level chunks during gameplay.
This release also fixes a long-standing bug where the player character could
"climb" walls to their right. See the full details on the
[change log](https://www.sketchymaze.com/guidebook/changes.html#v0121-april-16-2022)
and [download](/download) the latest version!
