If you have already played any enjoyed Sloth Tales I would definitely recommend checking out this fantastic title. Jimmy the Sloth (as well as other Lion Quest friends) return for their wildest adventure yet. Steal a magic grandfather clock, travel through time and across the universe. By night that is, by day you're working an office job. This game has many twists and surprises to keep you entertained.
This has also meant several months worth of bug testing and mechanical refinements which I'm pleased to bring back into the standalone Sloth Tales release too. This new update includes the following cool fixes:
- Improved dash mechanic when using mouse input
- Improved player death/ smash effect
- Dither background effect when using the vignette for a smoother colour gradient
- Improved glass effects
- New menu button effects
- New pause screen
- Updated completion screen
- Fixes for a couple of scenarios where the played could get trapped without the dash powerup
- Blank screen fix when toggling back and forth between delete all data screen
- Water blocks are now easier to see against the blue background
- Improved checkpoints and fix for swapping back and forth between areas
- Improved physics for the vertical platforms
- Controller/ keyboard icons now update if a controller is connected mid-game
- Numerous other miscellaneous level refinements
Phew, that's just about everything. Thanks for playing Sloth Tales, please do check out Lion Quest Infinity (you won't regret it!) and I'll see you around.
