Revisit? (1.0.6)


Replayed the game recently and I didn't like some things.

Since the game's release there were 5 small patches that fixed a single bug or oversight each so I didn't bother posting about them. 1.0.6 is more notable because it changes how the game feels significantly.

So what is it about?

  • Consecutive vertical attacks no longer require precise input timing (added buffering)

  • You can now press jump too early and still jump once you hit the ground (yea, added buffering)

  • You can still jump for a moment after walking off a platform (coyote time)

  • Double jump item now works exactly the same as normal jump

  • Alchemists now have a hidden stamina mechanic so they pause after throwing too many projectiles

  • Forlorn King is now much less aggressive on first playthrough, but stays unnerfed on Second Quest

  • More levels now have a Second Quest variant

I will drop a downloadable version of the update soon but for now the .exe is a bit behind. You can compare how much more it sucks

Also, to those who haven't heard it:

Next up

A pretty big update is coming very soon (hopefully).

As a teaser, a new soundtrack is now available. Check out "Land"!

EDIT: forgot to mention I'm not going to use the tweaked torches sorry bros

The upcoming update is going to include an extended tutorial level and a small rework to the first level after it. The plague doctor is still on that platform.

Something

Only one thing left to do...

I changed the torch glow to actually respect the game's color palette, the effect turned out pretty intense though. Is this better?

Maybe this should have been in the game from the beginning but those guys have telegraphed attacks now. Soon I'm going to release another patch, focused mainly on the early game.

The guardians grow stronger...

(no sound because this was meant to be a gif)

Ohh

Dropping an update soon

Updated the gifs in the description so they show the game's current state, also more early levels are being reworked
