New Name, Better Game - Version 2.0
With this huge 2.0 update, the game is now called "Magic Hat Escape," which is hopefully more interesting and unique.
Lots of improvements here:
- Game is retitled, with a new logo on the Main Menu
- All Music and Sound Effects (which were Public Domain), have been replaced with my own original compositions and recordings.
- New Instructions Button on Main Menu, providing lore and gameplay tips accompanied by art and animations.
- Added a Progress Bar to the top of the screen, showing how close you are to the goal, and how close the Magician is to catching up.
- Removed mention of death from the game over screen
- Replaced Powerup icon with original artwork
- Improved timer and powerup countdown visibility by adding a black outline
- Adjusted Main Menu artwork of the Rabbit to account for its longer ears
- Updated Icon on all platforms
- Added finish line texture to the goal platform
- (Android) Auto Rotate is now enabled
- (Android) Removed jump button, can now tap anywhere on screen (aside from the pause button ofc) to jump
- (Windows) Added an "X" button to the Main Menu, so you can quit the game without Alt+F4
On Android, if updating from 1.6 or earlier, you may have to uninstall the previous version before installing this one.
