Update 1.4.0 - Difficulty Swapping!

If things get tough, there's no need to start from the beginning!


The big feature of this update is difficulty swapping! If you begin a file in "retro" mode, you may now switch to "newcomer" mode at any point. Please note that this conversion is one way. There is no bumping up the difficulty from an easier file!

Misc.

  • You may now swap the difficulty to "newcomer" from a "retro" file. This can be done from the "file select" screen.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the boomerang sound effect would play for far too long.

  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 2 where the player could leave behind the Bellion, locking themselves in a pit.

  • Fixed a bug in Act 3 where Belle and all of the enemies would disappear.

  • Fixed a couple of background inconsistencies corresponding to Act 3.

  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 4 where the player could defeat the boss prematurely.

I apologize that this update came so soon after 1.3.2. Thank you once again to all of the new players! Feel free to reach out with any further bug reports and suggestions.

New clovers! 🍀 I think these will allow me to make some really pretty rooms. The old ones were much chunkier and obviously tiled (2nd slide).

I'm going to start posting here, too! Mostly more edited game dev content If that's your thing, you can always find it and all my other socials here: https://linktr.ee/narwhalnut

Here's those honey bees I just posted up close! Adorable!

I'm FINALLY working on a new effect for the game, "pollinate"! It does damage every turn AFTER enemy attacks.

It creates room for some awesome strategy and it's cute 🐝🐝🐝

Day 3 of cleaning up the menus in my insect RPG! 🐛

The "Ready" button now points to where the first mushroom will be. I think this makes it much easier for your eyes to follow the attack patterns, no matter how elaborate!

For this #ScreenshotSaturday, I have a little Before and After! This is Act 1 of Belle Boomerang 5 years ago and today! Look at how much the game's grown!

(Psst! There are new Belle Boomerang stickers in my Creator Sticker Pack! Enjoy!)

Day 2 of cleaning up the menus in my insect RPG!

Now encounters have this smooth transition - It makes the buildup to finding a rare bug much more satisfying!🐛
