2.0 - Dreamhack Dallas 2024 Update
Points and Combo are now awarded for destroying enemies - You only regenerate health when grazing enemies, and you only lose health when firing. Enemies now also show the score awarded to you when destroying them.
New enemy: Hunter - The Hunter moves and fires a gun between two or more points, and rests for some time upon reaching a point.
New enemy: Witch - The Witch moves between points like the Hunter, but upon reaching a point will summon additional enemies.
Power Ups - Power Ups will be delivered to the player via bats and stored for later use, which can then be activated by pressing E. There are 4 Power Ups in total:
1. Health Up - Restore 1 Life.
2. Combo x2 - Double current Combo.
3. Invincibility - Become intangible for 5 seconds.
4. Bomb - Fire a projectile that explodes on hit.
Improved Grazing Visuals - When grazing an enemy you'll now see the radius around them that the player needs to be inside of to continue grazing. You'll also see blood particles flow between the enemy and the player. The player now regenerates health when a blood particle reaches them.
Idle Screen - On launch and in between runs the game has an idle screen without a player to show something visually while nobody is playing. As part of this, the game no longer breaks itself after the player's first death.
Pausing - While playing you can press ESC to pause, from where you can either Resume or go back to the Idle screen.
Bigger Enemy Grazeboxes
Bigger Player Hurtbox - Instead of the Hurtbox being the size of the player's heart (which has been removed), it's now more similar to the player's shape. This should hopefully make knowing the distance needed to graze without getting hit easier, but feedback on this is still appreciated.
Survival Bonus - Points are now awarded for each 20 seconds the player stays alive.
SFX Cut (for now) - I thought they were distractingly bad but didn't get replacements in time lol.
probably some other stuff - I forgor
This update is most of what was planned for a "Post Game Jam" update, but with some stuff cut so we could get it out in time for Dreamhack Dallas 2024 - god forbid we showed off the original Game Jam build. Hope you enjoy!
