Week 7 (10.30 - 11.5)

Skippy the Swimmer
A downloadable mastahpiece for Windows and macOS

The alpha is out for our alpha presentation!

To address the issue of players collecting pearls before talking to the magpie, we decided to spawn them only after talking to the bird. 

Since many players misunderstood the water bar as a health bar, we made it circular and moved it with skippy as he walked around. This was also where our power up UI was, but it felt too cluttered to have it all in one place, so we decided to add a power-up filter. We also added a prompt at the bottom saying "[button] x 2 double jump" because our previous icon did not clearly indicate it gave Skippy double jump abilities.

Skippy also now has family (we added his family's models)
