1.1 update

Lasso Lad
A browser game made in HTML5

I thought I'd consider the 1.0 release to be the official first release, but there were more tweaks I wanted to do. I also hoped to implement proper touchscreen controls, but it will require more research.

  • Lasso properly detaches when no longer touching the object.
  • If the lassoed object gets destroyed by the boss, you stop lassoing and the lasso is destroyed.
  • Lowered player's health from 6 to 4 as a difficulty adjustment.
  • Renamed "Heel" playstyle to "Dastardly" to use a more familiar term.
  • Lasso Lad's evil stash appears when your playstyle is set to Dastardly.
  • Removed flavor text from playstyles to see if playstyles are more enticing to read.
  • Added a little more flair to the boss' pre-dive bomb animation.
  • Updated the front-facing boss sprite to have dizzy eyes.
  • Stopped player movement during the "finishing move" to see if it creates less confusion about what to do.
  • Pressing the "Shift" key in the Instructions hides the background (although I forgot to make it turn back on if you press the key again...). It's a stop-gap accessibility feature until I make a proper Settings screen.
