Mini Mario's 2D sections will also be returning (as they were imo some of the most memorable segments in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) in expanded 2D platforming sections, that'll also be more challenging to make use of Plink's new platforming abilities!
Next up
Items are usable yet again! Complete with a new, more expressive and fluid animation. We're getting closer and closer to getting back where we were with the old battle system... but now with so much more style and charm! #Varminal #Indiegame #Indiedev
With the overworld's base mechanics close to being fully implemented, we're going back and finally progressing the battle system again! Here's a look at some new animations, new UI, and new.. well, everything! (BG is a placeholder though) [🔊Sound on!]
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
Tara's Jump counterattack has been re-implemented as well, now with completely new animations! In the old beta, we just reused the overworld jump sprites, but I wanted to go the extra mile, and I think it looks way more satisfying this way!

They publish a bunch of cool video games and make some themselves too! They're currently working on developing Usual June (https://gamejolt.com/games/usualjune/999157).
In between us adding and re-implementing other animations and features, we finished both characters' item use animations.
Now they can throw them to each other, just like before, and also have a new animation for drinking stuff!
With a new art style and a more skilled team, we were finally able to finally make the menus according to the first concept behind them - now Plink displays every option, not just the move icons! A diegetic touch to tie UI and the game world a little.
Another bit of progress, getting poisoned and all animations accompanying that are implemented again. As well as different portraits and health icons to match! Little touches we hope will give more charm to the UI.
