A sizable update! I've been continuing to work on the AI for Spike and Guy, they are very evenly matched at this point. I think Mascot Guy might have the edge currently, but don't quote me on that! I'm gonna write more about the AI soon, but for now I want to say that, aside from its lightning reflexes, it is designed to play as fair as possible -- no psychic powers or programmed cheats!
There is also a new Gag for Mascot Guy in VS Mode, a fireball that Spike will need to duck from.
Also added:
- The First New Background (Sort of a nightmare mausoleum) in Human vs AI and AI vs AI!
- Fixed a bug in AI vs AI where you could control Spike
- Continued adjusting of Guy AI so he doesn't do anything wacky
- The first Achievements to unlock!
- Additional feedback for the scoring UI
At this point the AI is a formidable opponent I think. A coming update will add skill settings 'EASY-NORMAL-HARD' to adjust the challenge. I would say the current skill level of the AI is HARD.
For anyone playing, I would love feedback!
