Patch Notes 0.3.0 - Bamboo Forest
Hello, Adventurers! Lumen the Red Panda is ready for a brand-new journey. This update brings a new world to explore, helpful abilities to master, and some grumpy new faces to avoid.
🎋 New Level: Bamboo Forest
Step into the dense Bamboo Forest, where secrets hide behind every stalk!
The Maze: Stay sharp, it’s easy to get lost in the winding paths of the bamboo thickets.
The Gargs: Sneak past the Gargs or run if they spot you!
Red Pandas in Trouble: The Gargs have caged your friends in the forest. Find them all and set them free.
Tricky Puzzles: Solve puzzles and find hidden areas with the help of puzzle boxes.
👃 New Ability: Sniffing
Can't find that last apple? Lumen’s nose is here to help!
Unlockable Power: Once you collect enough Golden Apples, Lumen unlocks the Sniffing Ability.
Follow Your Nose: Activate this power to catch the scent of the nearest apple and complete your collection!
🤝 Lend a Helping Paw (NPC Quests)
Lumen isn’t just curious; she has a big heart! You’ll now find animals in trouble across the levels who need your help:
Puppy Rescue: Help a worried dog find and gather their lost puppies.
Curious Chicks: Safely guide stray chicks back to their mother.
Captured Red Pandas: Locate and rescue captured Red Pandas held captive by the Gargs.
⚠️ New Enemy: The Garg
The Gorgs have called in their big brothers. Meet the Gargs:
Patrols: Larger and tougher, Gargs patrol their territory with a watchful eye.
Stealth is Key: Lumen’s attacks won't work on these giants! You’ll need to sneak past them while they aren't looking or run as fast as you can if you're spotted.
