Update 1.2.0 - Third Face


1_2_0_controlsscreen.png

This update overhauls the controls for PC players and the soon to come Nintendo Switch players. The most notable change is the addition of a "third face".

Controls

  • Added the option of "3 faces". This allocates the functions of some powerups to an additional face button (C/magic).

  • The statue powerup can now be activated with C/magic or B/toss, if "3 faces" is toggled ON.

  • The freeze powerup is now activated by C/magic, if "3 faces" is toggled ON.

  • The static powerup is now activated by C/magic, if "3 faces" is toggled ON.

  • When "3 faces" is toggled OFF, the static powerup is now deactivated by A/jump.

  • The rose powerup can now be activated with C/magic or down, if "3 faces" is toggled ON.

  • The controls menu now uses a controller diagram, showing the ideal location of the inputs being mapped.

  • The controls menu now uses a model Belle avatar, showing the function of the inputs being mapped when applicable.

  • Weapon descriptions (seen on the pause menu) have been slightly changed to match the terminology used on the controls menu.

  • To match the pause menu, the weapon icons on the bottom-right of the screen now use button symbols (A, B, and C), if a gamepad is plugged in.

Misc.

  • The game can now be paused while Belle is controlling a statue or inside of an electric current.

  • Fixed a bug  where a puff of smoke would appear when exiting the statistics room in the Backstage.

  • Slightly adjusted the placements of some tiles in Act 8.

Please notify me if you have any troubles with your gamepad of choice! Thank you!

The Insectile Demo released today! If you liked Belle Boomerang, why not give it a go?

One of my favorite moments in watching everyone play the demo so far is this silly little cricket : )

This morning, a brave soul in the Insectile Discord caught 100 grubs (squishy parsnips).

Because 3 kinds are planned and the upper limit is theoretically 2^63, it is possible to own 27 QUINTILLION parsnips.

...I probably need to program an upper limit : )

What's an Insectile? 🐛

My last project vs. my current project!

Demo launch day was... mixed. In hindsight, launching on a Friday (a day I never post) was not my best move. But it ended on a high note! A ton of fun posts are coming up and more streamers are scheduled to play.

Stay tuned - I'm still programming bugs!

I will start answering questions in 15 minutes!
