First update!


The first update has released!

For the past few days, I've been working on various ways to make the game a more enjoyable experienced. I cleaned up the code and then got to work. You might notice some of the changes if you played the first version from May 2020.

I added a crosshair cursor to replace the main cursor, it highlights red when hovering over an enemy. I felt this would be a nice design choice and would fit with the pixel art design.

I also made a subtle edition: Explosives! These are the crates found in Level 2 which were previously just solid objects. Now, you can shoot them and they explode into orange particles. They don't really hurt you, all they do is block your path if you haven't shot them.

I fixed the difficulty by repositioning enemies and weapons. I feel like it'll make for a much more enjoyable experience knowing where the enemies are and how to go about defeating them.

Finally, I fixed some bugs. If you played the original version, you may have noticed that Level 4 is basically unplayable. You needed to press keys to spawn in weapons because it was so bugged. This was due to time constraints with the jam but now that all of those are out the window, I can fix it! The game as a whole should feel more playable now.

I hope you enjoy the new update!
