Bug Fixes & Changes

  • Skill Book Names were not appearing correctly on some resolutions, but has now been fixed.

  • Boss health has been reduced, but their mitigation has been increased resulting in decreased damage taken.

  • Applying gems to passive skills now has a quicker rate of application.

  • In world 2-1 after acquiring a map piece and entering the shop, the map piece would disappear. This has been fixed.

  • On certain resolutions the game was too dark due to surface issues. We have now fixed this.

We want to thank everyone again for their trust and support as we continue to improve the game and aim to bring back the nostalgia from our childhood platformers. For those of you who haven’t joined the Pixel Lantern family just yet, we encourage you to give us a try. We know you won’t be disappointed. We want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween and may you fill your bags with lots of goodies!!
