Of course, there are a few other things I worked on as well and here's a short list:

  • Created a new boss encounter including new level, sounds, and animations!

  • Began work on Level 7!

  • Corrected issue with pause menu showing Andy's "You are here" head in the wrong place

  • Set the game to grab the mouse and make it invisible so it's no longer in the way visually

  • Integrated Steam API for Achievements/Scoreboard

  • Created the first set of achievements for the game w/appropriate artwork
