Version 1.1.0: the polishing update

Wheel of the Elements
A downloadable game for Windows

v1.1.0, the polishing update!!!!!

A pretty large update, focused on polishing up  stuff :)

That means that there are a lot of bug fixes, QOL stuff, new cutscenes and key rebinding!

This update took me a while to make because I made a full key rebinding system with gamepad support!
It was a really hard endeavour but also a really gratifying one, I didn't use the gamemaker input library and so I had to do everything by myself!
I'm currently making tutorials for thqt system and will release it for free as soon as I've completed them :)

Here is a feature list:

  • 2 new boss cutscnes
  • Ability to skip cutscenes
  • 5 new difficulty modes
  • Bug fixes (listed below)
  • Gamepad support (tested with ps4 controller but should work with others)
  • Full key rebinding system
  • Updated tutorial texts
  • Updated boss telegraphing
  • Updeted flip attack for the final boss so that the player can no longer be instantly killed
  • Elementalist boss now is smarter: it will follow you around better and won't shoot at the wall
  • Slicer knocks you around if you attack it while it's stopping the current effect

Bug fixes:

  • Player should no longer clip into the floor in rare occasions
  • Sound should no longer play for a split second before adapting volume
  • Particles should always slow down with time
  • Fixed test blocks being present in the final boss arena
  • Menus should work correctly with the keyboard (and controller)
  • Tanks should no longer teleport around the room when turning (rare)
  • You can no longer kill the Elementalist by pinning it against a wall
  • The phase 2 cutscene for the second boss should non interact with the elemental effets anymore
  • Lasers should no longer deal aditional damege when you have more poise

Thank you for reading!!
