We'd like to start by thanking everyone who's playing Rocket Panda Panic! It's been a wild ride getting to publication. We've heard some great early feedback that we wanted to act upon immediately. After a coffee fueled all nighter, we're proud to bring you a few tidied bugs and some extra features to boot!
Auto Save.
Once you finish a level the progress is now stored. The menu "Start" button will take you to a level select screen.
Greater Maneuverability.
Pandy has been doing his squats; increasing run speed, jump height and flight acceleration.
Re-balanced Enemies.
Tanks fire a little slower, flyers spawn a little less frequently, health kits drop a little more often. You're welcome (Glea - "weak!"). However, I will be keeping the original crazy hard settings stored ready to add a difficulty option later.
Helicopter Warning.
Some may have tried to fight the Helicopter. It's invincible!!! Sorry if you didn't spot the text, it's a little tricky I'll admit. We've added a UI prompt to remind/telegraph the need to escape. I'm interested to hear any suggestions for improvement to telegraphing this to new players.
Tutorial Update.
Parallax scrolling added to the tutorial and a couple of the signs reworked to better prompt the keyboard controls/mechanics.
Custom Mouse.
This worked only for some in version 1.0. The custom paw mouse cursor is now available for all!
Also mouse "click in to hide" requirement resolved. Game is correctly focused now.
Disk Space Optimization.
Bizarrely, this 226 Mb download originally unpacked to a hefty 4.5 Gig. A little searching led me to some compression settings in Unreal Engine. Now correctly setup, the game downloads for 226 Mb and unpacks to 354 Mb.
Thanks again for playing Rocket Panda Panic. Stay safe everyone! ːsteamhappyː
