First Update

The first update is here! It may be pretty early for one but I can't seem to put this game down. I've worked on a bunch of different things which you can find in the list below.

FIXES:

• Reduced landing frames for both normal and fast fall
• Reduced the amount of time you have to release the jump button in order to short hop
• Made it so you can't change directions mid-dash (it strangely only occurred when you dashed right while grounded)
  
• Narwubs are able to jump better
• Optimized particles a bit by making them only appear around your screen instead of appearing in massive spawning zones

CHANGES and ADDITIONS:

• Increased Player movement speed
  
• Reworked the jump
• Removed the jumpsquat
• Changed death text. Sorry, there's important lore now.
• Added a death animation to the Player and Narwub
• Narwubs are able to tell if there's a pit in front of them
  
• Added a new metal biome that comes with new particles, tiles and level design
• Added Wallblobs, red critters that crawl around the edges of platforms (they're not really blobs but that's the name they started with and I don't feel like changing it)
• Added some interesting characters- no dialogue yet
• You can hurt enemies with your dash
• Remade the title on the main menu
  
• Made the area design less random and easier to navigate
• Added controller support, still under testing
• New cover image by Sid Sagraves on artstation
  
• Probably some other things I'm forgetting

OTHER:

I'm happy to say I have all the foundations in place to build a proper universe for this game to take place in! I've never been good at worldbuilding but I think I can make something really neat involving the Silver Star and entities called Moons, which is what the ghost character is. Definitely leaning more towards a space odyssey for the story but there's still plenty to explore. Psychological horror isn't out of the picture ;)

In the next update I'm planning on adding some actual progression. At the very least I want defined areas to explore and the ability to travel to new ones, plus important stuff like NPC dialogue and new enemies of course.
