  • Improved weapon attack hitboxes.

  • Improved player collisions to prevent getting stuck in blocks or getting out of the playfield.

  • Improved enemy collisions.

  • Coins stay slightly longer in the Tower before disappearing.

  • Removed the initial cutscene with pterodactyls in Speedrun and Unfair modes.

  • Added an option to disable Screenshakes.

  • Had the German, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese translations corrected by professionals and/or native speakers.

  • Corrected the following country codes: Germany, China, Japanese and Spanish.

  • Added translators in credits.

  • Indicated the total number of floors in the menus (_/51) to avoid discouraging players who might fear an infinite or insane number of floors.

  • Added a line of text before the credits informing the players that they'll access the second part of the game (the Tower), to encourage them to continue.

  • Enabled the “Who did it?” Achievement to be obtained both by accessing credits via the main menu and by finishing the game.

  • Added new SFX for the following actions: “closing the doors in the tower”, "player bounce after a roll". These were previously identical to the player injury SFX and were confusing.

I hope you'll appreciate the improvements. I really want to make the experience much more solid so that Martin's adventure is a good foundation for what comes next! ;)

Stay tuned!
