The following changes have been made between Beta Demo 1.1 and Beta Demo 2.0.

Gameplay

  • Improved player physics: The player changes directions more quickly during slower platforming sections, allowing for precision platforming. On flat ground, speed mode is activated by pressing a button after gaining enough speed.

  • Updated the tether to throw projectiles at enemies in front of the player.

  • Falling into a hole deals damage instead of automatically removing a life. If the player's health bar was full, they are returned to the last place they stood before falling.

Stages

  • Replaced the old tutorial stage with two different stages: One stage to teach basic controls and another to teach the mission system.

  • Changed the life system: The game starts with a maximum of 3 lives. Finding a life item in a stage for the first time increases the maximum by one. Starting or restarting a stage will reset the life counter to the maximum value. In hard mode, the old rules still apply until the game has been completed.

  • Improved level designs to make completing missions easier.

  • Fixed a problem that occasionally caused the game to crash on Spheron Orange.

Graphics and menus

  • Updated the graphical style with outlines, sharper lighting and brighter reflections.

  • Added a language screen when starting up the game for the first time. Seeing this screen does not mean that your save files have been deleted!

  • Updated the New Game screen. New games are created using the currently active options. You can set options for new save files before creating them.

  • Added option and delete buttons to the file select screen to make them more accessible.

  • For keyboard users, colored key icons are displayed in menu screens and reaction prompts to indicate which actions are expected.

Performance

  • Slightly improved stage loading times and removed freezing between menu screens.

  • Greatly improved the loading time of the options screens.

Other fixes and improvements

  • Removed the dependency on the libglfw shared library from the Linux build.

  • Fixed a variety of other small glitches.

This will be the final update to the Dynacat Beta Demo. Look forward to the complete version of Dynacat later this year!
