Update: Lives and Time Limits

July 20, 2018: Sword Mans version 1.1.2

New Stuff:

  • Added versus mode specific settings to a options versus mode options menu. The “number of rounds” and “random stage select” options can now be found in this new menu.
  • Added lives per round option to the versus options menu.
  • Added time per round option to the versus options menu.

This update will help bring a lot more customization to the versus gameplay. I experimented with having a few different game versus modes. The modes were rounds (what we had before), lives, and time. But then I figured it would be nice to have a time limit on a lives game, or play multiple rounds of lives games. So instead of separate modes, all three options are now present for you to mix and match as you see fit.

If you want to add lives or a time limit to versus mode, click the "Options" button on the stage select screen.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where the AI in versus wouldn’t show its health on the healthbar.
  • Occasionally after exploding, players would suddenly switch from controller to keyboard controls. They don’t do that anymore.
