fixedSmoother Level EditorFixed a massive lag issue causing painting and deleting pieces to sometimes hitch every single frame. Now it should be smooth as butter adding and removing tiles/spikes and other items that 'paint' in.
changedSmoother Level EditorIf you have a Player Spawner in the level, the camera will now focus on that when opening or returning to the level resulting in a much nicer experience.
addedSmoother Level EditorPlaceables (i.e. a Tile Block) were auto selected to make editing quicker, but it was out of date with the complexity we now have - so the pieces are no longer auto selected when opening the level or returning from playtests - meaning that you only edit the level when you explicitly want to.
addedBigger LevelsAfter evaluating the levels and gameplay, it was noticeable that vertical levels suffered a bit from the smaller height in the editor. So...I doubled the height so every level can now be massive.

Smoother Level Editor

  • Fixed a massive lag issue causing painting and deleting pieces to sometimes hitch every single frame. Now it should be smooth as butter adding and removing tiles/spikes and other items that 'paint' in.

  • If you have a Player Spawner in the level, the camera will now focus on that when opening or returning to the level resulting in a much nicer experience.

  • Placeables (i.e. a Tile Block) were auto selected to make editing quicker, but it was out of date with the complexity we now have - so the pieces are no longer auto selected when opening the level or returning from playtests - meaning that you only edit the level when you explicitly want to.

  • Replays now show the Game Speed the replay was recorded at.

Bigger Levels

  • After evaluating the levels and gameplay, it was noticeable that vertical levels suffered a bit from the smaller height in the editor. So...I doubled the height so every level can now be massive.

  • For those playing at home, this means existing levels may need to be updated to fill in the new gaps above and below your levels - or leave it to mess with the system ;)

Faster Shielded Enemies

  • They were too slow before, so now they're faster. So you'll die quicker...

Level Complete Animated

  • This now feels like a bigger, more exciting ending to the level

  • Note: Replays still need some adjustments so ignore the weird Replay Complete screen...

Custom Font Added

  • Every developer ever decides to waste time doing something that is great fun but still not as core to building the actual game and that's exactly what this font is

  • WHERE IS THE LINK? When I decide which platform it's on and other things I'll share this font free for all
