Alpha 0.00.8 Released

Lex's Game
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

FINALLY got a new update out! It's been almost exactly a month.

CHANGES:
The important stuff.

  • Redid Lex's physics! Please let me know how they feel.
  • Redid the keyboard controls! They are now included in the floating instructions. Please also let me know how these feel.
    • There are also many other optional keys on the keyboard which also work, including the mouse buttons. I will eventually put in a cheatsheet so that people can choose which style fits them best.
  • Added ledges and made climbing up onto them much faster and easier.
  • Changed the health bar to show Lex's face as he reacts to different levels of HP loss.
  • Fixed the issue of picked up keys counting twice.
  • Made the keys easier to grab.
  • Started placeholders for alternate routes for when I introduce the other three playable characters.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Please don't hurt me over these.

  • The pause menu is broken. You can pause and un-pause, but the menu is unresponsive. I don't know why yet.
  • The loading screen doesn't fade in or out like it should. Be aware that you may not be able to press buttons when you first see them after a loading screen.
  • I have absolutely no way to test the Mac version. If you have a Mac and run into problems with the Mac build, please let me know.
  • The enemies you're supposed to dive-attack on can be punched.
  • Dive-attacking an enemy gets you hurt even when you defeat them (I haven't figured out why yet).

NEXT STEPS:
To be done in the future starting soon(?).

  • Start adding the actual story to the game.
  • Add the new characters (unlockables).
  • Update animations, UI, graphics, etc.
