Update! Ver .7! Can you believe it?



This update brings in a new level, the ability to save AND load progress as well as the main menu featuring some key art of what WILL become the protagonist!
Major System Changes:
- There's a main menu! From here you can continue from any previously unlocked level through the "Continue" option, change audio settings, quit the game and start a new save!
- Pressing "New Game" will automatically overwrite any previous save so be careful!
- The first time you enter a new level the game will automatically save your current progress.
- Unlocking a new level will also add one of those little things to the long line of followers
- A BRAND NEW level has been added, with a sneak peak at the new pixel art that'll be used for the game environment. This tileset made by https://shackhal.itch.io/ was made specifically for platformers and should make for better platforming going forward.
Gameplay Changes:
- There's only one MAJOR gameplay change but now you can move in the air after jumping! Previously, your jump arc and direction couldn't be changed after pressing the jump button but now that's only the case after hitting a booster.
- The test area is now home to the only NPC in the game, which will let you select any other level to go to when you get in there. You can interact with it by pressing the "Z" key or button while standing nearby.
End Thoughts:
This update comes after over a month delay, most of the new features in here were done over the course of this last week after locking in and finding a way to force myself to work, to great results. Waiting for motivation I guess isn't the best way to finish a project that you're realizing you don't have much interest in but if motivation and interest comes in waves, I guess this is the low part. I AM however dedicated to finishing this by the end of JUNE so look forward to at least a little more stuff!
Next Goals:
- A new level!
- Changing all the previous levels to have the new tilesets.
- Creating a better save system that works with future updates
- Multiple Save files
- Updated Player Sprite!
- Pausing the game and an in-game options menu
- And more!!
