I reinstalled the game but am only on the 3rd Portal. However, since the 1st level there are glitches....more than there were before the update.
The flashing hammer still appears in the top left corner EVERY time you use it.
The newest glitches are assorted flashing icons - one looks like a pencil, the other is a like a stop watch. They suddenly appear and vanish for no reason during gameplay. I don't even know what purpose those icons have as I have never encountered them in the older version.
The last glitch involves the game semi-hanging up during a level. Instead of a matched row disappearing, it hangs there flashing at you. I was able to continue gameplay but it is rather distracting.
Time will tell if the 7th Portal can be completed since the update.....
Going through the game I found more glitches around Portals 5 & 6:
You can win a board with moves remaining...the game just says you've completed the round. Nice, but wrong.
You can make a 3-match but the tiles do not go away...they just stay there like it's normal (it's not).
The problem with having no more moves available, yet the game will not let you re-start the level, remains extremely frustrating...waiting for the walls to finally close so you can start all over again. This should be rectified. Sometimes you are given another hammer to be able to make a move (when the game is actually paying attention to itself), however, more often you are forced to wait and wait and wait....
I finally completed the game, though for some reason the very last board had no time limit - the walls never did close. Yes, that was helpful!
Even though there was an update there are still several annoying 'bugs' in the game.
