2021.2.6


15/05/2021 2021.2.6

----------------------------------------------

Bugfixes:

  • It is now possible to skip the Inn sequence by pressing Esc
  • Level 6 and 7 slow-downs - finally worked out that it wasn't the level size or boulders, but the automatic Collider objects linked to each individual tile of the tilemap. Removed the auto-generated collider and manually drew the boundaries, doubling frame-rates.
  • Level 6 has been decreased in size to be less frustrating
  • Level 6 no longer has holes of death and so doesn't require checkpoints.
  • Level 6 no longer has areas that cause the player to become stuck due to rockfall, also less rocks.
  • Exit to DOS animation length has been reduced. 
  • The cursor is now only visible on the splash, menu and pause screens
  • Dying on Level 3 will now correctly proceed to game over sequence.
  • The key icon on Level 4 is now lighter in colour, rather than the same colour as the terrain which rendered the icon essentially invisible.
  • Mines throughout the game no longer incorrectly remove 2 units of health (duplicate call). 
  • When the boss spawns adds on Level 5 they now jump with a random time offset in order that they don't become static (two equal opposing forces with the same mass).
  • Reduced the boss' chance to spawn adds on Level 5, given that they now jump and so are a bit trickier to avoid.
  • Made an allowance for gfx palette deviation on on Level 7 on the yellow button, as the only previous option was brown/orange which doesn't indicate yellow.
  • Corrected spelling mistake in original code for menu screen.
  • Amended the keybindings to be accurate, rather than the original and no-longer-relevant keybindings.
  • Extended the end credits so that the text could actually be read in time.

Outstanding/Unable to recreate:

  • First time you play it, the Escape key doesn't do anything. Subsequent games allow you to quit by pressing the Escape key.
  • Sometimes the controls didn't seem to respond in a timely fashion.
  • Occasionally you can go straight from the end of Level 4 to the end of Level 5 without having to do anything in between
