Milestone roadmap:
*-Stage 1 start-end (Finished)
*–UI (Functional displays)
*-Stage 2 start-end
*–Transitions and menu re-functionality (Main: Level select, start. Shared: options)
*-Stage 3 start-end
*–Challenge Mode implementation and moves 1 (unlocked after beating stages 1-3):
–(start) Drop (↓ -> ↓; Drops Larkspur down rapidly)
–(1) Spiral Slash (↑ -> Attack or vice-versa; strikes a short range behind and in front of player when unencumbered) EDIT: Changed to make dash gliding more fun. New attack: Uprising Strike (Puts the wingfist in front of the player as they’re thrust upwards. Pierce-damages if an enemy is encumbered).
–(2) Dash Glide (Shift; increases Larkspur and level scroll speed. Enables Challenge credits)
–(2) Drop Kick (Attack -> Attack; launches two strikes if unencumbered, or hurls all grabbed enemies at a massive pace. Deals piercing damage) EDIT: Changed for simplicity. New attack: Kick Launch (Launches a single piercing strike at high speed if unencumbered. Otherwise launches the first thrown enemy at high speeds, and tosses the rest at a slightly lower speed that ‘shotguns’).
–(3) Banishing Wing (Guard -> Attack; Circular short-ranged attack that shields player)
*-Stage 4 start-end
*–Save/Load and practice-room fixing
*-Stage 5 start-end
*–Sound overhaul and moves 2 (Stages 4-6):
–(4) Gatling Dance (↓ -> ↑ -> Attack; When encumbered, shoots Larkspur straight into the air at a rapid pace until he reaches the ceiling. For each point of health on each enemy found horizontally in front of him, Larkspur launches a held item at a rapid pace, starting from the bottom)
–(5) Bewitched Pull (Attack -> Guard -> ↓; When unencombered, pulls all non-boss enemies down. Any previously on the ground are damaged)
–(6) Regnant Cannon (Attack -> Attack -> Attack; When encumbered, launches a projectile that deals damage equal to twice the number of grabbed objects)
