Down Ward - (jam beta)

Hourglass Full of Owls Update
(expand for update notes)


Update notes:

  • Tutorial level text now toggles in real-time between Keyboard and Gamepad help depending on which the player is using.
    (Shown in image above)

  • Unlocking Hourglass mode now unlocks it globally, instead of just the save slot on which it was unlocked. Way less fiddly than the prior setup, where you always needed to load a save that had it unlocked to access it. (Older saved games will auto apply this change when loaded.)

  • When using “Wide” view, Wide view dimensions are correctly applied to all camera transition animations. (e.g. Now the camera pan over the large painting (no spoilers) looks much nicer when wide view is enabled.)

  • Fixed the missing tutorial level text that noted that the Mantle would be explained later. (Went missing a few versions back due to a side effect of the stats system update.)

  • Tutorial level text now mentions the Stats menu and the Help menu.

  • States menu updated and reorganized a bit.

  • New control-input-based scripting components should allow for quite a bit of fun stuff in the future. :)

A backer from my prior Kickstarter suggested a pre-launch countdown + link, & they made this gif for me, because they're super nice. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fisholith/down-ward-game-ow…

They made 3 of them actually. :)

Gable wings her way over some soft clouds. :)

(She's the main character of a pixel game I'm working on. She has more pixels in this picture.)
