Greetings ghouls and goblins! Much midnight oil was burned last night to bring you a raft of 30 achievements for Halloween Forever! I wish you luck in completing those you choose to tackle.
On top of achievements, I went through and made a few quality of life balance changes.
- Your health now returns to full at a world start after a boss fight. No more whittling down your hp because you took some hits but otherwise beat a level boss.
- All respawn checkpoints should be in place in the Spooky Church and Porphyry Palace. This includes checkpoints after miniboss rooms and in the rooms before world bosses. If you're still having trouble with any of these not setting properly let me know!
- Unlockable characters now unlock once you've collected their pickup. It's not dependent on you clearing a run. Also I swapped Ms. Witch and A Skeleton's unlock positions since Ms. Witch is pretty powerful. You can still only unlock one per run. While you can get them all quicker now it seems better to give players who are trying to clear the game and finding it challenging to have an intermediate reward. In the future when I have more unlockable characters in this will lead to some fun secret finding (I hope!)
Coming up next I'm working on some boss balance tweaks, custom character endings, and trading cards. I'm hoping to do another pass through Spooky Church and Porphyry Palace level design and enemies before launch as well.
Keep the feedback coming if you have it. It's much appreciated!
Stay spooky, crew!
