I'm gonna keep writing my changelogs on itch-io and linking them here when I upload new builds because it's easier for me to access draft posts there than it is here on Game Jolt AND it's one less file I have to include when I upload builds.

The tutorial vids I've watched have given me a good place to start but I'd like to come up with my own solution to saving the score, high score, and difficulty between sessions using this. Now I have something to ruminate on at work next week!!!

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.

Here's a short video showing off the improved gameplay loop and "stage complete" screen. The updated artwork for Hensen and his gun and the honey bullets can also be seen.
