v0.03a introduces the first true hazard to Megalia, expanding the core gameplay loop beyond movement and terrain.

New Entity

• Spike Spikes are Megalia’s first lethal hazard. Contact with a spike will instantly eliminate the player, requiring more careful movement and positioning. This marks the beginning of challenge-based level design, where avoiding danger is just as important as reaching the finish.

Gameplay Impact

With the addition of Spikes, levels can now incorporate:

• Precision platforming

• Risk vs. reward paths

• Timing challenges when combined with Sand

This update pushes Megalia closer to a complete gameplay loop: Start → Navigate → Avoid Hazards → Reach Finish

Server Status

We are currently experiencing server instability issues.

Players may encounter:

• Difficulty uploading levels

• Issues accessing uploaded maps

• Intermittent connection problems

This is being worked on, and stability improvements are a priority for upcoming updates.

Current State

Megalia remains in Open Pre-Alpha. Expect:

• Bugs and inconsistencies

• Ongoing system changes

• Gradual expansion of content and mechanics

More updates coming soon.
