Bug Fixes
· Fixed numerous spelling errors across the game. · Resolved a startup crash that occurred after completing the tutorial or a game over. · Fixed a crash that could happen when losing a level in certain stages. · Fixed crashes during the tutorial when dying before the tutorial finishes. · Addressed an issue where opening the pause screen at the last moment before game over or level completion would prevent the restart option from appearing and leave the menu stuck on screen. · Fixed an exploit where rapidly spamming "Next Level" allowed players to skip many levels (buttons now lock after click). · Fixed an exploit where spamming the level button could incorrectly inflate level attempts before the game transitioned (buttons now lock after click). · Ensured HP resets properly when quitting endless mode mid-game. · Fixed a bug where the player's gun remained active after the orb mini-game, allowing it to be used in levels and endless mode. · Corrected the boomer boss state machine: it no longer stays transparent and now properly cycles through all intended moves. · Game now correctly labels invalid runs for clarity and will remove or add as needed. · Game will now properly return to the previous menu after quitting a level or quitting endless mode. · Removed a leftover debug value from the previous patch.
New Features & Improvements
· Added controller support for the in game menu (work in progress). · Added a sound effect for menu clicks. · Added a screenshot feature (press F12) – currently a work in progress and may not function perfectly. · Block Spider now has a new attack: it will shoot webs at the player when at a distance.
Balancing & Gameplay Changes · Increased level spawner speed by 30%, making block spawning faster and raising the game's difficulty. · Reduced health of Block Spider's tiny spider babies; they now die in one hit. · Tweaked various boss stats, including reducing damage for some bosses like the Block Spider. · Removed the top hat accessory that previously appeared after finishing all levels.
Visual & UI Updates
· Updated several UI sprites for improved visuals. · Boss floating effect (visual enhancement). · All buttons now lock after being clicked to prevent input spam, improving UI responsiveness and fairness.
Technical Improvements
· Polished and cleaned up core game code for better stability.
Thank you and enjoy!
