A big thank you to everyone who has played LUNARK so far! Based on user feedback, the 1.1.0 update is now available on itch.io, featuring several quality-of-life improvements and more.
Jump Assistance: Now you can grab a ledge when pressing up even if you're one tile away. It shouldn't make the game easier, but hopefully less frustrating especially stressful situations.
Repeated Long Jumps: Improved Leo's ability to chain several long jumps in a row when running, requiring a shorter distance before being able to long jump again.
Level Start Indicators: Level numbers are now displayed when entering a new level to make it clear where you'll restart if you need to quit the game.
Updated Quit Message: The Quit confirmation message has been updated, making it more clear the you'll have to restart the entire level and not restart at a checkpoint.
Level Select: A level select is now unlocked per save slot when finished the game. (If you already finished the game, you'll have to replay the last level to unlock it, as there was previously no way to identify a save file that had finished the game or not.)
Extra Checkpoints: Additional checkpoints have been added in levels 10, 11 and 12.
Save-Erase Extra Confirmation: A long press is now required before erasing a save slot.
Additional Bug Fixes:
• Fixed a problem where people were encountering an unwanted auto-jump after doing the running ledge grab while pressing the un-needed jump button (the input was buffered a very long time)
• Modified the lines of NPC Vitas Varnas when he explains the running ledge grab in level 4; he insists that you don't need to press jump, but only diagonal-up + run
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to not trigger the second boss sequence (level 9)
• The Drorilla enemy needs fewer hits to be destroyed
• Fixed a bug where Drorillas' laser sound kept playing if you left the screen, even if the Drorilla wasn't shooting anymore
• Fixed the bats in the cave not appearing again when you'd respawn if you died when they were flying
• Slightly edited Leo's face in the Artifact cutscene (end of level 2) for consistency.
• Fixed a bug that caused a softlock when petting a cat/dog when it was about to leave.
• Fixed typos
