removedIn this patch and based on user feedback, I worked on making the character easier to control, less hectic in his run speed etc. I also made his jump a little less heavy so he is easier to control in the air. Staircases were removed from the game completely just because they were super-buggy, the player would sometimes fall through them on older machines and no amount of trickery could fix it, so in the interest of gameplay I removed them and redesigned a few levels accordingly.
changedReworked how Spartacus moves so it feels less like he is running on skates.
changedJump airtime increased to give player more time to control Spartacus in the air.
changedUpdated camera tracking - camera pans to Spartacus faster for more accurate platforming
removedRemoved staircase tiles from the game
