Variants, New Faces, and New Game Plus!

Version 1.1.0 of the Insectile Demo is here!

Gameplay Additions

• Added 2 new Insectiles.

• Added a new room off of the pumpkin patch.

• Added 3 Insectile variants which are recolored versions of existing Insectiles with different encounter effects.

• Every sparkly encounter now contains a variant.

• Sparkly encounters now respawn, but will not continue to drop Soft Silk after the first encounter.

• The previously named “Blossomed Raindrop” is now a variant of the Apex Raindrop.

• Added the “Smash” effect which can clear shells, lemons, and rocks.

• Jam Drops now use the Smash effect.

• Great Walking Geode now uses the Smash effect.

• Added a rematch with the Great Walking Geode which can be triggered by the "?" mushroom within the boss room after completing the demo.

• Added New Game Plus which is a quick way to hop back into the demo with extra options, making many potential challenge runs now possible.

  Please note: if you have previously completed the demo and cannot access New Game Plus, try opening up the completed save file and grabbing a save point radish.

User Interface Changes:

• Added 4 additional save files.

• Added toggles for sound and music.

• Reorganized some menus in the game to now use tabs with icons.

• The “capture” button is now called the “tame” button.

• Added the tame gauge, which shows the probability of successfully taming an Insectile. It appears alongside the “tame” button.

• Removed the “melee” button.

• Added the “panic” button, which places a few random mushrooms for the player.

• Damage pop-ups now bounce a tiny bit.

• Every enemy attack is now telegraphed by a black thought bubble beside the opposing Insectile's health bar.

Glitches

• Fixed a glitch where the Apex Raindrops would get stuck swimming on the overworld.

• Fixed some other small glitches.

I have been super excited for this update! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any feedback on the demo.

I hope you all enjoy!
