Hello citizens, here's another update for the Demo!
Accessibility Options
Difficulty Selection - you can now find a difficulty selector in the game options. You can change difficulty at any time, but beware! Playing a level at a lower difficulty than Classic will remove the elegibility for leaderboards (only for that level run). Switching to a lower difficulty during a level run will suspend the elegibility to the leaderboards.
Difficulty | Description |
|---|---|
Classic | The way we intended the game to be played. Full inputs, all rhythm mechanics. Levels completed in this difficulty are elegible for leaderboards. |
Easy | Rhythm mechanics are active, but are all tied to a single input. Easier, but still requires some music sense. |
Baby Bat | You hate rhythm games, and that's ok. One input for each action, and no rhythm mechanics. The most casual game mode, pure platforming. |
Workbench - Skin Unlock (Demo)
Added availability to use the Workbench in Spanky's Hub. Added a first version of the skin unlock system. As of now, the skin customization system will be divided in 3 categories: Ears, Body, Shoes. Included in the demo the first story "based" alternative skin set: Mausoleum.
Defeat DJ Cobweb in The Afterlife to unlock the skin parts at the workbench.
Dialogue System Redesign
Dialogues were ugly looking. I made them a bit more interesting. We'll add an accessibility option for dyslexic people to turn off the conic effect on the lines of dialogue.
Level Countdown
I added a simple countdown timer at the start of platforming levels to allow people to prepare for their run.
