Since Escort Mode is still the most challenging, and the least developed part of the game, I thought I'd add something small to improve the multiplayer experience, along with fixing some of the remaining issues. I still have to run through the full game to make sure there aren't any hiccups, but you can expect found problems to be fixed promptly! :D
MANUAL BUBBLING DETAILS:
- Added a button for manual bubbling in Escort Mode, which allows either player to be carried to the other at any time, so long as the collective bubble count is greater than zero. The bubble count will return to three every time you enter an area, whether you fall to a previous section, or progress to the next section. Your number of bubbles will carry between sessions -- forcing you to use bubbling as a fail-safe, rather than an exploit.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed the 'toggle stamina' button in Escort Mode, as it previously had no effect on Barry.
- Fixed the Escort Mode barrier preventing the start of a new save, when the 'toggle stamina' checks inevitably failed.
Hope this makes the game more bearable for those who want to climb together! Thanks for your time!
