MINIGAMES!


That's right, what's a good fully-featured platformer without a couple of good old time-wasting minigames?

This time around, the minigames are good for more than just money grinding and highscores - these will also unlock some of those tasty pieces of nanotech I mentioned in my previous post!

These are some of the minigames I have planned for later:

*Boss Rush*: In this familiar mode, you're going to re-fight old bosses all in a row with limited healing. If you do well enough, you can earn the Revenge perk, and get a power-up every time you get hurt (as demonstrated in the previous post).

*Battle Gauntlet*: This is a replacement for the Endless Ground Battle challenge from Ignition. In this, you'll face down waves of enemies all at once. If you win, you can earn the Uncanny Dodge perk, which gives you a chance to negate any damage entirely!

*Challenge Mode*: Need some quick cash? Find the story too easy? Try this mode to take on previously-beaten levels with added restrictions. Winning without a gun? Piece of cake. Winning with only 5 hitpoints total? Now we're talking. If you perform well enough, you can get the Regen perk, which heals you a little bit after every time you get hurt.

And of course, as the GIF above demonstrates, we also have the *FIRING RANGE*. Need a quick buck, but not man enough for Challenge Mode? The weapon store has you covered. For a small fee, you can step into the basement to take your shot at an onrushing army... of rolling balls.

You'll get a small but decently-sized cash prize at the end, but if you score high enough you can also unlock the Lucky Break perk, which gives you better drops of supplies and cash from enemies. With all this cash, you'll have the shops bought out in no time!

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading all the way down here, and stay tuned for news on the next chapter and the private beta!

Avast! Space pirates!

And what's a captain without his crew? These scoundrels will be among the first to make life difficult for you in Phase 3.

Hmm, what was that someone said about backstabbing?

Rejoice! The jankiest puzzle in the game has been re-done.

It's still a little fiddly, but now the boulder's less likely to do screwy things like get stuck on a platform, or teleport you to the side on touch.

And here's the shop animation for last week's new flail weapon.

Its jump attack hits a wide area, making it perfect for swatting flying enemies!

There's something off about this room.

Almost as if we've entered a new dimension - a THIRD dimension.

Anyway, Construct 3 has had 3D features for a while and I decided to play with them a little. What do you think? Cool effect? Too jarring?

Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I last posted, but I've still been hard at work with the first chapter of Kodon's story.

And to show for it, we have this stylish fellow - he may be slippery, but he's no match for Kodon's homing shot!

Operative Delta, elite assassin.

She'll play some sort of part in Kodon's upcoming story content.

The only question is just how much stabbing this part will involve!

Sweet victory.

Kodon's prologue level is DONE! That's milestone 1 of 4 for completing Phase 3 and reaching Crucible's final release.

Stay tuned for more news in the coming months!

Egad, what's with all the enemies popping out of the walls lately? Can't you all just sit out in the open like proper gentlemen?

I thought the escape sequence in Chapter 2 didn't have enough urgency to it, so I spiced it up a little.

I also wrote a new song to go with it!

Keep an eye out for this in the next update, coming... whenever I feel like it.
