More Levels!! - SWING BOY v2.1.5 Update

Swing Boy
A browser game made in HTML5

I've been hard at work, but the next update is here. :) Here are the main changes for the game:

New features:

  • 3 new levels!

That's right! Swing Boy now has a total of 6 playable levels. (so many, i know)

  • Ceiling crab enemy

The first smart enemy in the game! Ceiling crabs like to make life difficult for swing boy by cutting his rope when they get the chance.

Visual updates:

  • New exit sprite.
  • Added coin spin animation.
  • Player death is shown better with small delay before respond.
  • Sound for door button.
  • Sound for checkpoint.
  • Added level number and coin count overlay

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed BG music not looping.
  • Jumping possible when touching ceiling.
  • Escape key now works on Level Selection.
  • Fixed respawn bug where coins are still collected.
  • Doors now re-close after death unless opened before checkpoint
  • Fixed level 2 being a bit too difficult for beginners.
  • After end page title page is opened and not splash screen.
  • Fixed levels unlocking early
  • Fixed unfinished levels showing D- rating

I've got some big plans for future updates, including more worlds, a story-arc, and an online leaderboard for speedrunners.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback! Every play means a lot to me, so go have some swingy fun! :)
