IT'S WORKING! As far as I can tell, the player's score, high score, and difficulty are now all saved to and loaded from a Json file on the application's persistent data directory (which is in the user's program files directory on their computer)!

I mentioned some time ago that I'd upgraded the shading on the beetle enemy's character art. Finally got around to putting together a before-after shot of that upgrade! This time, I made gifs for both!

This is just about the only situation in which I'll ever do this. I almost never put multiple calls to methods on the same line but here I've logged a warning to remind furure me to do something I didn't have time to do today in a glaringly obvious way.

Lucky Tower Ultimate is a chaotic, comedy roguelite. Escape from an incredibly dangerous, randomly generated tower in a slapstick adventure that looks like a cartoon and feels like a joke. Slashy slashy!

Okay, so the stages and score saving are both more or less working. Your score and high score will be saved throughout the lifetime of the application. Currently nothing saves when the game is closed, though, I'll be working on that next weekend.

Here's a before and after GIF of the re-shaded wasp enemy!

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Mega Man! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Alright, I've been thinking... I wanna do a fly-off-screen when you complete a stage in Hensen Hopper (classic shmup stuff) and I COULD just hardcode it into the character controller script but I came up with a more nuanced solution.
