16/05/2021 2021.2.7

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

Bugfixes/changes:

  • Decreased duration of "Level X" intro screens by half
  • The credits can now be scrolled up and down with UpArrow, DownArrow, W or S. Fast-forwarded with Space and exitable with Escape if the player has viewed the credits once already.
  • In the Main Menu, the New Game option is now not selected by default. It was appearing as a bug but was in fact showing that it was selected (and that the selection could be changed using Up/Down, but there was not enough graphical feedback to indicate this. 
  • End of Level 2's Exit sign no longer appears in front of the player sprite.
  • Doubled the speed of the elevator on level 3
  • On level 3, moved the location of the first Soni in the cave so that if you are playing a speed-run then you shouldn't have to wait for the enemy to leave the narrow part of the cave to proceed.
  • The landing sequence can now be skipped at the start of level 4
  • On level 5,the bool that contains the state of the button that triggers the end of the level is now reset to be false at the start of the level, before this the game looked to see if the button has been pressed, which it could have been in a previous play-through.
  • The lift on Level 6 should now accomodate a wider variety of angles and positions of the player
  • You can now skip the briefing text at the end of Level 6 
  • Removed pointless cap on lives, which prevented player from getting potentially available score points.
  • Amended the score screen at the end to show the previous high score if the player has beaten it.
  • Sped up the end animation showing the boss floating off through space and the player doing that weird wink.

Outstanding/Unable to recreate:

  • Intermittently, at the end of Level 2, Esc immediately ended the game. Unable to start a new game; Just got a blank screen with the music playing.
  • There's a weird orange triangle that occasionally appears and flashes as the top of the screen on Level 2 at the end (but not every time you play).
  • 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 don't seem to respond in a timely fashion.
