Perditus Creatures (or those that fall under the Melanoputredo genus).


Exhibit 1 - Vineseer (Melanoputredo Litus) 40-80 ft.
The weakest of all Perditus creatures. These are weaker variants of the Perditus Root (Melanoputredo Radix), only being one vine rather than one of the many hearts with many vines that make up Perditus, or even the average Underseer. It can swing itself at intruders and retreat into the ground to defend itself. It does not possess much consciousness.

Exhibit 2 - Underseer (Melanoputredo Volitans) 16 ft.
The typical Perditus creature. An Underseer usually has six tentacles, which is just a light enough load to allow itself to float. It is unknown how Underseers are able to float without wings or machinery. They possess a basic level of consciousness and problem-solving skills. They attack with a smack and a release of energy from their eye. Charging is their main attack.

Exhibit 3 - Underwalker (Melanoputredo Ambulato) 20 ft.
Underwalkers are similar to Underseers, however they possess eight tentacles instead of six. Due to this, their weight pulls them down to make them walk instead, though areas with no gravity allow them to navigate as an Underseer would. They use their bottom two tentacles to walk. They possess the same level of cognitive skills as the Underseer, and their attacks only lack the eye energy release.

Showcase - Wilderness Level 5

Music Control has been added to the engine! It should be obvious what this is, but I go into depth on what I mean by Music Control in the article below.

Game Showcase - The Jungle Level

I've implemented smooth scrolling for the ground and BGs, and now it'll just smoothly move to the next costume (if there's any at all). This also gives me more dynamic level lengths. Here's a video showcasing it. It's more obvious in the second level.

Okay, so get this. I know why Not-Mougera just felt... off looking at it. It didn't have the same colors used nowadays. It had more of that green tint I find in a few other sprites. Pictured here is Mougera, Not-Mougera, and color corrected Not-Mougera.

Well, this isn't Jupiter.

Say, what kind of mushrooms are these again?
