Smol but still an update

Side Effect Demo
A downloadable Side Effect Demo for Windows and macOS

Yo, it's me again guess what I have for you... a new update! It's 0.2.1 and for this update I was wondering why the "Report an Issue" form was empty for the entire month. Not sure if my programming skills are so on point or players just don't care to report problems when they see them (I thinks it's the second option but not sure).

Anyways here's what I got for ya:

  1. Garbage is now randomly tinted by dirty color to make them look more older and damaged.

  2. Fox now collects garbage around itself automatically without waiting for the player. This is compensated however by decreased "garbage visibility range" from 20 metres to 10 for Tobi.

  3. "COMMING SOON" message typo in main menu corrected.

  4. Fox now checks for valid paths before he moves which should rule out any possible "him getting stuck" situations.

  5. Facebook button and group removed.

  6. Recycler's salvo progress bar has now an icon.

  7. Recycler also shows small hotkey hint about how to respawn it for those players who might be confused or just didn't pay too much attention during "tutorial" section of gameplay.

  8. Updated look of golden garbage to make it look more distinct since sometimes new players are not aware that this is a collectable.

  9. Changed butterfly's path so that now it will show the player more of the forest and navigates him straight to the next stage.

  10. Butterfly has been sped up to match player's speed now.

  11. Golden garbage has been excluded from total garbage counter which is displayed on credits screen.

  12. Player's speed now changes when he meets fox.

  13. Increased player's speed during gameplay from 4 to 5.

  14. Fixed an issue where total collected garbage number wouldn't calculate properly on credits screen.

  15. Sad music has been shortened a little to prevent music clashing / cutting when you progress from first to second stage.

I really hope these tweaks, fixes and additions will make your gameplay experience even more interesting and as always if you encounter something weird in the game or you break it somehow, please let me know by filling up the issue form from the main menu. I will be very grateful for that.

That's all from me guys, have a wonderful day.

Sincerely, your dev
