Gem Worlds v0.6.0 Demo Update

Today marks the release of the v0.6.0 demo version of Gem Worlds.

This version includes one major change: everything (including you) now moves at the same time. This resulted in many subtle changes, including:

• Monsters no longer attack you when you move next to them; they do when you're adjacent to them, and then move away

• One-heart monsters are generally not able to hurt you significantly

• Lots and lots (and lots) of timing (race-condition) bugs no longer exist, since everything moves at the same time

I think these changes make the game more interesting, and more forgiving of bad moves; plus, you can plan your reaction better.

I made a significant change to how the game looks:

Overall, it looks more stylish, but individual elements "pop" less. If you have any trouble distinguishing important elements, let me know, so I can make adjustments.

Some other small changes:

• You can trigger skills with the keyboard (Z, X, C, V keys)

• Fixed a bug where you couldn't equip skills on a new game

• Added a full-screen option in the options menu

• Keys act more like gems (you move onto their tile when collecting them)

• Fixed lots of bugs
