# Matchstick Mayhem – changelog
(Called "Tray Wobblers" up to v0.4.0.)

## v0.4.1 – 4 Nov 2026
- Renamed from Tray Wobblers to Matchstick Mayhem, to suit the matchbox theme. The title screen, top bar, box label, rules, end screen and exit box all use the new name.
- "Wobbler" wording replaced: "Choose your matchstick man", "Last man standing", "Change player".
- The game now lives in the matchstick-mayhem folder on the site.

## v0.4.0 – 4 Nov 2026
- New look: the players are now matchstick men with coloured match heads, battling inside a matchbox drawer, with a red sleeve, striking strips and a printed label.
- More animation: the men sway and breathe while waiting, swing their arms and kick their legs when they jump, flail when hit, and topple over when knocked out. The winner dances on the results screen, and your pick waves on the start screen.
- Power-ups are now bold, pulsing stickers with an icon and a short label (BANG, SHIELD, +30 and so on). New ones are stamped in at the top and spin away when grabbed.
- Power-ups renamed to fit the theme (same effects as before): Big Stick, Firecracker, Cross Fire, Spark Shower, Kitchen Drop, Big Bang, Smoke Screen, Blow Out, Safety Shield, Glue Trap, Sugar Rush, Spring Legs, Slip, Hot Spot, Plaster, First Aid.
- "Frozen" is now "Stuck" (in a blob of glue), the jelly-off is now a stick-off, and sudden death is now "burning down".
- The YOU tag floats clear above your man's head and is never cut off.

## v0.3.5 – 28 Oct 2026
- Fixed: picking up Clear Ice could make your own jelly disappear from the tray. You now stay visible to yourself with a frosted "HIDDEN" look, and your cube is marked each turn.
- Fixed: the outlines showing which cubes you can jump to were hidden under power-up cubes, so some squares looked unselectable. They now show on top.
- Bonus icons on the player cards show how long they have left (rounds, or swings for the Wooden Spoon). Hover for details.
- Every power-up shows how long it lasts in the Power-ups list and on its banner.
- New "chance to win" for every jelly, updated as the game goes on from health, bonuses, nearby threats and power-ups about to roll within reach, with ▲▼ showing the change since last round. Your own chance also shows under the status line.

## v0.3.4 – 28 Oct 2026
- New "Exit game" button in the top bar (shortened to "Exit" on phones) that takes you back to the Rainbow Gaming homepage. It's also in the How to play / Power-ups box and on the end-of-game screen.
- If a game is in progress, a box asks you to confirm before leaving, and the turn timer pauses while it's open. Tray Wobblers doesn't save games, so there's nothing to save.

## v0.3.3 – 28 Oct 2026
- Power-ups are now flat coloured ice cubes set into the tray; only the jellies stand up, each with a coloured ring at its feet (yours is white).
- "YOU" tag moved above your jelly's head.

## v0.3.2 – 28 Oct 2026
- About twice as many power-ups on the tray (4 players: ~18–20, 8 players: ~40–50).

## v0.3.1 – 28 Oct 2026
- New jelly colours (pink, lime, brown, green, grey, charcoal, mint, white) so none share a colour with the power-ups.

## v0.3.0 – 28 Oct 2026
- New 8-player mode on a 12 × 8 tray (double the cubes), with all 8 wobblers.

## v0.2.1 – 28 Oct 2026
- Fixed clicks on cubes sometimes not registering on the tilted tray.

## v0.2.0 – 28 Oct 2026
- 3D tilted tray with standing jellies.
- Every power-up has its own animation, with a banner showing who used it.
- Rolling tiles: power-ups slide down one cube each round before everyone jumps; hover shows what will roll into a cube, and Easy shows where everything is heading.

## v0.1.0 – 28 Oct 2026
- First playable version: 4 players, pick a wobbler or get a random one, ice cube tray, 16 power-ups, Easy/Medium/Hard.
