Heyo! I've finally done the first major update to this game! There have been a number of smaller updates since submissions closed for the GMTK Game Jam 2020, so that's why this one is version 1.5. Let me detail what's new in this version:
I realised that some people aren't so used to using WASD, so I decided to add arrow keys as a way to control Qbi.
This is something I wanted to implement during the game jam, but simply didn't have enough time. But now, level blocks will be darkened after you complete them.
I've added a reward for those who beat the game! If you manage to clear all 15 levels, Qbi will transform into Tes (short for tesseract). This incandescent robot comes with his own coloured battery too!
These last two features would be pretty lame if you couldn't keep your progress after you beat the game. So I've decided to implement a save feature so that you can boot up the game and use Tes as you please!
The largest bug that had to be squashed was one where you could run through enemies if you just held down buttons to move. Now you'll die as soon as you touch them. Other bug fixes involved fixing mistakes that broke some levels and making some visual polishes to the game.
I plan to release more levels and mechanics in the future. Hopefully you guys enjoy the game enough to play the updates. Also don't forget: the zip file includes the game's music tracks so enjoy that!
