Xplorite Demo Update

Hi everyone!

We've been working on a lot of smaller improvements throughout the game. This update includes two major changes:

• Tile collisions now follow the visual shape of tiles more closely. This means character movement will feel smoother, especially on tiles that aren't perfectly square.

• The minimap can now be resized to show more of the surrounding area. It will also update correctly when you pick up a map item.

Here's the complete changelog:

Gameplay

• Improved tile collision detection to more closely match tile geometry.

• Refined character movement when interacting with vertical surfaces, resulting in smoother collision handling and reduced frustration.

• Updated enemy navigation and movement to follow the new tile collision shapes.

• Adjusted upward enemy-hit pushback behavior:

  • Pushback now only occurs when the enemy survives the hit.

  • If the enemy is defeated, player movement continues uninterrupted.

• Fixed an issue where landing from significant heights onto bounce platforms could incorrectly trigger the Big Landing animation.

• Fixed unintended player movement occurring while aiming.

• Hitting an enemy now resets the player's downward momentum, preventing Big Landing from triggering incorrectly afterward.

Challenges & Achievements

• Fixed the Sunken City challenge effect reappearing after loading a saved game.

• Fixed the "Speedy Gonzales" achievement unlocking when entering any door. The achievement is now awarded only when re-entering the secret door as intended.

UI & UX

• Fixed Minimap Enhance activation so it only triggers through button input while outside menus.

• Fixed the minimap not updating correctly after collecting a map item.

• Disabled Pause Menu button interactions while returning to the Main Menu.

• Disabled Main Menu button interactions until the fade-to-black transition has fully completed.

• Improved menu navigation responsiveness when returning from gameplay, ensuring default button focus is restored immediately.

• Added item icons to door interaction prompts to better indicate consumable requirements.

Saving & Progression

• The game now automatically saves when opening Wormino's door.

Visual & Animation Fixes

• Fixed issues causing enemy corpses to vibrate unexpectedly.

Audio

• Fixed combat music behavior in The Loop, Overgrown, Capitol, Hidden City, Depths, and Temple.

• Fixed a missing jumping platform sound effect in Overgrown Passage.

Levels & Checkpoints

• Fixed an issue in Overgrown Passage where players could respawn above the jumping platform checkpoint.
