New Content
- A Lives/Health system has been implemented on boss encounters. The player will now have 3 lives, represented by hearts. Upon running out of lives, the player will be given the option to try again with the same bonus damage modifier as they currently have, or to replay the mini-game for another shot at achieving a higher bonus damage modifier.
- Added a menu option to restart the current level
Changed Content
- Previously, a parried bullet would hit only the Pond boss for increased damage, this has been changed to deal increased damage to all bosses.
- With the introduction of the lives system and the increased parry damage, boss health required tweaking. These values may need future changes to achieve balance
- Woodlands boss HP increased from 150 to 200
- Beach boss HP increased from 500 to 650
- Streets boss HP increased from 1500 to 2000
- Pond boss HP increased from 600 to 800
- Due to the recently added autosave feature, the menu options to save are no longer required, they have been removed
- Moved “Paused” text higher on screen when game paused to not interfere with longer menu options
- It felt weird having “Elims: N/A” on the scoresheet after a boss fight, collectibles and “Elims” removed from boss fight scoresheets
Bug Fixes
- General
- Turtle was elevated between level screens, moved back to correct position
- Larger bullets like the ones used by bosses were a bit offset when colliding with walls and switching to the hitspark, this has been adjusted for a cleaner look
- Adjusted a couple of unfair jumps
- Streets
- During the Bullet Hell mini-game of the Streets zone, the player could cheese it by standing to the far right and not getting hit, bullet spacing has been adjusted to resolve this
- During the Streets boss encounter, the timer did not stay green when the level started
- Pond
- On level 4-2 there was an issue with a checkpoint returning the player to an area where they could no longer ride the moving platform, added another moving platform to resolve
