Early Access 1.2.2 is out (Another change of plans?!)

Version 1.2.2 is now available to play.

At this point it makes more sense to call it an early access rather than a demo, maybe updates will be more frequent from now on?

The most notable changes/additions are:

  • Reduced falling speed for the player character; now you have more control mid-air and platforming should feel more natural

  • Tweaks to enemy AIs making them less dumb and a little bit more fair, giving you more options for how to deal with them

  • Updated the sprites of certain enemies and reworked a certain boss arena

  • An extended tutorial; to access it, re-enter the tutorial level after beating the basic version once

  • Reworks to early and middle levels, now there's a checkpoint in the first one and the difficulty level has been reduced a bit (at least meant to be)

  • New levels with a bunch of surprises

  • Two new soundtracks! "Lights" and "Master" are now available for listening

  • Somehow managed not to break ladders

I'm considering adding trophies, that could be done long ago but I'm not sure if an early access should have those.

For now, that's all. Have fun and good luck!


Just an edit cause there's no reason to bomb everyone's notifications again but in case you noticed the 1.2.21 there was an oversight in the original release that made some of the later game content inaccessible, it is fixed now

Next up

Something

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

Ohh

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

Only one thing left to do...

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.

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.

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

Dropping an update soon

The guardians grow stronger...
