22 JULY 2023:
- Bombs now have an explosion animation! It's currently not very efficient (the sprite sheet is 2.8MB) but it works so I'm going to run with it unless I find a more practical solution.
- Final Boss can now be destroyed. It's a nice challenge too! The bombs increase speed as the boss gets weaker. But the bombs will never outpace the player. Even so, you will be forced to move around a lot to avoid taking damage.
- I also added text declaring how the final boss destroyed you (e.g. "The Final Boss hit you with its beam cannon", etc).
- There is a bug that has been plaguing the bombs for a long time now -- sometimes they'll get "stuck" near the player and never detonate unless the player moves. It's very intermittent and therefore very hard to troubleshoot. It has to be fixed though so that will probably be one of my main focal points for next week.
