I was hesitant to make game updates while the jam’s still going on, but after a decent amount of requests to either add a skip button or checkpoint system… I’ve decided to make an updated version of the game (v1.0.1), just so people who’ve already played it can do so again without the fear of getting insta-killed. Because I don’t wanna change the main Web version until the voting period is officially over, this only applies to the Windows one for now.
Unfortunately, (me being a newbie to Godot) the way I did synchronization doesn’t really allow me to add a proper skip button without having to rewrite/reorganize a large chunk of the game’s assets. So as a sorta compromise, this newer version has a “lives” system instead. More specifically, the player will get three lives to use once the game begins before having to start over.
If you haven’t played the original jam version (v1.0.0), please still do so and base your rating off that version to keep things fair. Then if you wanna come back and play the updated one, by all means go for it.
I really appreciate all the feedback everyone’s given me. If any other issues arise from this alternative system, don’t hesitate to share :)
