Continuing to be inspired by this year’s 20 Second Game Jam and especially those involved in its Discord Community, i’ve just posted a sizable update for Legend of Song.
A new audible Jump Count indicator was added to help navigate the skies:
Speaking of navigation, i’ve also added Controller support which took a lot more effort to sort out than anticpated in delivering all Keyboard controls to the device while attempting to also depict it all appropriately:
That said, while the new Option gives my fingers a much-needed break, i’ve yet to reach the same scoring range found while using the Keyboard where i’ve come to find precisely how crucial Descending is during play and struggled to find a natural way to trigger it on the Controller (hence, 3 different methods to pick from!).
Credit to Xelu and Kenney for providing the graphics which i went on to mangle for hours until i was satisfied.
Another substantial addition is a new Ladder system for Online High Scores where you must beat your personal Best Score to become eligible for the online table that i’m internally calling the PSY’d Step™ system.
Otherwise, only a few minor tweaks were made for this Update and i do want you to enjoy it all so please do when you have a minute or 2!
WIN & Web both (please discard previous WIN versions where you can get around the Ladder system while not enjoying the update ;) ).
