v2.5 - Serpent Stacks Map, Improvements, Bug Fixes

Gameplay

• Frozen Spire A1

  • Correct paths to solve the puzzle can now be input in any order. I.e. Previously a glyph with an origin at A1 needed to be set on the left most panel, and an ending glyph that terminates at E3 needed to be set on the right most panel. Now, as long as the 3 chosen glyphs form a continuous path from A1 to E3, they can be set in any order using any panel.[/spoiler]
  • If the player solves the basic puzzle while in possession of the Serpent Circlet, the pyramidion puzzle will now reveal itself without requiring a room reset.
• Meteorite Spoiler

  • Secret Full Compass Meteorite (Totem B0): This meteorite is now solvable with a single save file.
  • Developer Note: Now that the hype around the Mysterious Update has died down, I wanted to make this puzzle possible to solve for individual players.

System

• Deleting a save file now requires confirmation.
• Changed one of the fonts used for German to one which can display all German characters properly.
• Map Screen
  • The Serpent Stacks now has a map available.
  • Added the “big bell” stone on Beast Ridge and the elemental stone of the Sanctum to the map.
  • Added the Phoenix Flute and Star Viewing Orb to the map.

Art

• Added a sprite for stone blocks in rivers.
• Made the “fog” of unexplored areas of the map in Stoney Caverns more visible.
• Minor visual fixes.

Bugs

• Fixed a bug where pause walking (speedrunning tech) onto a star and quitting the game would cause the star to be removed but not reflected in the collected star count. Now the star won’t be collected until the animation is complete.
• Fixed a bug that would cause a water block extending a river to revert back to its block form if the player died immediately after the block reached the end of the river.
• Water elementals can no longer occupy the same space as another block after being spawned from a copied block which is destroyed, e.g. when a copied block exited a teleporter, and the exit was covered by another block with greater hardness.
• Fixed a bug where an air elemental throwing a stone block into a crystal from 1 tile away would cause the stone block to be destroyed instead of the crystal.
• Fixed a bug that arose from a recent patch where an air elemental would destroy a stone elemental after it had already pushed the stone elemental once before.
• Fixed issues with improperly initialized Frozen Spire and Tidal Reef meta puzzles for certain older files.
• Other minor fixes.
