Hello everyone!

The version 0.2.0 has seen the day light! It's been a while since the game was updated after the UDC game jam. Of course, a while after the game jam was ended there was very little energy left to put any extra to the game plus the voting lasted for a week so actually I just released the 0.1.1 patch to fix some small issues with the game.

But now, there's plenty of improvements in the game. Let's dive into the details:

1. Simple HUD added to the game to indicate the amount of lights in the level. Should provide a better goal setting and understanding of the objective.

2. In game tutorial added. Simple UI -based tutorial that kicks off in the first level highlighting the core game play mechanics. Added a target highlight mechanic to allow the "tutorialized" targets to have a simple highlight. There was already an instructions screen, but this works better if players are not interested to read a wall of text.

3. Checkpoint system. Now there's a bunch of checkpoints in the game which makes the restart happen from the last checkpoint. This should make the playing a bit more casual and forgiving. Dying doesn't any more mean a complete restart. Checkpoints are not yet visualized in the world, but you will get notified when your progress is saved.

4. First level changed so that the tutorial steps make better sense along with the first check point.

5. Improvements to the jumping mechanic. "Second chance" introduced. This allows you to jump late aka if you are already falling for a tiny fraction. Makes the edge jumps much easier and all around jumping is improved. Currently the "second chance" time is 0.1 seconds. Familiar mechanic from many platformer games.

6. Improved death screen. Just added a little bit of eye candy for the screen. Now there's a blood sprout particle effect to make the screen a bit more juicier.

I think that's most of the changes for now. Leave a comment and tell what do you think? What was the best addition for you? Also, please, leave a comment what would you like to see in the game. I have multiple ideas to improve the game, but lets see if you have better ideas.

Happy playing!
