New Map!

I created a friendlier tile map for the first level. Paddle usage is still required but there are less paddle bumps. Where will you go? Who knows! It’s up to you and your fast twitch fibers!

Also friendlier… I modified the tiles so I don’t get as many weird offset artifacts. When I started out, I had a cool idea for the look, but not centering the features of the tile resulted in needing 4 times as many tiles. It makes use tiled only mildly less tedious.

Other updates:

  • Fixed the offset of a paddle that tended to float in space
  • Pruned a ton of debug messaging. Gotta save those precious cycles!

Coming Soon

  • Music! (I fought with Reaper and some VGM Sound fonts this afternoon)
  • More than one level!
  • General visual improvements
  • More collectibles
