Early access 1.2.7 is out

Version 1.2.7 is now available to play.

As always, new content was added and much of the existing stuff was polished in some way.

Note that this version may take significantly longer to load for the first time.

Here's what I've been doing:

  • Made stamina regeneration a little bit faster

  • Tweaked player's speed (again), fall speed is even slower and movement speed feels more consistent overall

  • Made player movement smoother, there's now a short acceleration/deceleration time for most motion. This makes certain maneuvers slower and enemy speed was tweaked to account for that

  • Made jumping height lower, some levels were adjusted (old skips are still possible)

  • Changed the way music is loaded. No more awkward silence ever again

  • Updated the spider boss visuals and changed the mechanics a little bit

  • Reworked ghosts boss arena

  • Made player's attack hitbox reach a bit further and stay a while longer

  • Fixed visual glitches when landing on certain platforms (this time for good I hope)

  • Fixed some platforms moving upwards by one pixel when landing on them (if anyone noticed sorry)

  • Pushing statues near half-sized tiles no longer causes the universe to collapse fixed a severe collision glitch

  • Attempting to dash while pushing a statue no longer stops player movement

  • Erasing the save file moves menu cursor to the "start" option to save you a few milliseconds

  • Fixed inconsistent jump height on ledges

  • Tweaked some enemy collision boxes

  • Made it extra harder to jump over the shield guys. Please don't do it

  • Reworked the lance-wielding enemies behavior and animations

  • Changed the order of some levels, a certain level that was previously unreachable can now be accessed

See you again in 2023, and as always, GL HF

Next up

Something

Only one thing left to do...

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.

Ohh

Dropping an update soon

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.

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

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

The guardians grow stronger...

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

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