Update 6


5/22/2025

  • Changed the font back to Adobe Arabic 
    • Aharoni was closer to Mad Rat Dead's font, but I found it really hard to read without the serifs, and it blends in with the textbox outline.
  • Changed title screen (smaller logo, keyboard/controller icons)
  • Added Gremlin, Daisy, and Move Controller to level editor
    • Gremlin will shoot you up (or wherever it's facing) when killed
    • Daisy falls, then moves along the perimeter of platforms it touches
    • Move Controller lets you program a path; link to objects and they'll follow along
      • Added a third F1 help page all about the Move Controller
  • Rat God gets placed without scaling
  • Loading levels with Rat God/Dropping platform/Flipping platform,  no longer crashes
  • The rightmost level editor instruction glyph is redrawn to be recognizable
  • Balloons won't shrink to nothing on the first beat

5/23/2025

  • Fixed errors on the level editor help page.
  • Fixed Move Controller bugging with 0 Cooldown and Constant. 
    • Cooldown 0 now behaves the same as Cooldown 1: Arrive at the next point after 1 beat.

5/26/2025

  • Fixed crashing and incorrect Loop/reverse settings when using Move Controllers with Appear Triggers
  • If Move Controller's cooldown is set to 99:
    • It will behave as though cooldown = 0
    • Once it reaches the end, it will permanently stop
  • Fixed objects flipping upside down while placing with snap-to-grid and shift-scaling
  • Placed objects have a minimum size, to prevent placing objects with 0 scale
  • You can no longer link Mad Rat with a Move controller
  • Move Controllers will no longer be briefly visible when appearing via trigger or starting a level
  • Move Controllers will always be visible while showing the FPS (ctrl)
  • Slide speed option scrolling can be sped up with ctrl
  • Cactus defaults to 1 Cooldown
  • Appear Trigger saves Cooldown on cactus

5/27/2025

  • Objects linked to Appear Trigger remain interactable
  • Homing Attack will not lock onto enemies behind walls
  • Removed Moving Platform from level editor
  • Fixed Gremlin not working, not rotating, changed death sound

5/28/2025

  • When scaling objects, the 'step-size' was increased to prevent misaligning platforms
  • Fixed a crash when you delete a Move Controller target and begin gameplay

6/4/2025
