Version 2.0 of the demo is here! Go to the Steam store page to download it today.
The following is a list of improvements from this version.
Visual update
We've updated the shaders to have outlines, sharper color boundaries and brighter reflections for a cartoon aesthetic.
Improved player controls
You can now change directions quickly and easily.
You can also build up speed and break the speed limit by running in a straight line for long enough.
Tutorial stages
The tutorial stage teaches each one of the game's controls and gives you the opportunity to practice them. A skill test will allow you to evaluate how well you've learned the controls.
A second tutorial stage has been added to practice missions and get used to stage layouts.
Menu screens
When starting up the game for the first time you'll be able to set the game's language. This can also be changed in a save file's options, just as before.
The "New game" menu has been visually improved and updated to allow you to set the options of the newly created file before starting.
The save files menu has been updated so that it's easier to find the options.
Lives system
A fixed number of lives are granted at the beginning of each stage. As long as you have a life you will restart from a checkpoint if you lose. If you lose all your lives you have to start from the beginning again.
Increase the amount of lives you start with by finding extra lives hidden in the stages.
Other improvements
- Improved some loading times.
- Bottomless pits are more forgiving and won't cost a life if your health is full.
- Projectiles captured by the tether will be thrown in the direction that the player is facing.
