Alpha update - new player controls


 I updated Rat & Ruin to a new alpha version that mainly has new player controls completely re-coded. I think they are much better now than the first alpha build. 

  • Jump sustain, holding jump longer gives a longer jump
  • More movement feedback such as jump and land animations and particle effects
  • Jump sound now only plays when jumping, not when you spam the jump key
  • The Big Key and Boss Door now reset when you die. You keep your collected diamonds and score
  • Made some performance adjustments

Known issues I am still working on: 

  • Fullscreen doesn't scale correctly, crops off the HUD
  • All levels after the first are broken. I will start working on real levels soon
  • Water collision isn't working well, feels unfair when being close and suddenly dying
  • Text popups can be triggered which becomes annoying. Thinking of a new system for that
  • Chest items only have a score function now. Ideas for more gameplay options are welcome. 

Once the player controls are locked down, I will commit to start making real levels and adding more platforming gameplay/obstacles. 

Thanks for checking!
