METADATA Version 3.0

Version 3 is finally out, and it's not going to be the update you've been waiting for.  This update is mostly just code optimization and UI changes. Nothing to write home about, but still something to write a devlog about I suppose. Here's the specifics:

• Title Screen Complete Overhaul
  • Instead of the 10-frame title splash screen from previous versions, there's now an interactable menu. As a result, you can now close the game from the title screen without pressing the X. Useful for fullscreen play.
  • Title screen now includes a fleshed-out options menu to tailor your gaming experience to your needs.
    • Volume control, screen size, fullscreen toggle, control scheme, and quick reset toggle are all available through this menu. You can also reset your save file from here as well.
    • A short sound plays when you select an option on the menu. Just a little bit of sound design to round out the experience.
    • This same options menu is available on the pause screen as well.
  • The version number is displayed in the bottom right of the title screen.
• Boss Changes
  • Boss health has been lowered.
  • Boss patterns have been altered significantly. Timing between phases has been randomized.
  • There now exists two different types of the spike phases: random and targeted. During random phases, spikes fall at random. During targeted phases, spikes fall at the player's position. Pretty self explanatory. You'll figure it out.
  • Green spikes push the player much less, and the physics involved have been overhauled.
• Minor changes
  • Player movement speed has been adjusted.
  • Camera movement has been adjusted.
  • Boss frog interaction has been altered.
  • Level tile textures in Sector B have been fixed.
  • Ending screen has been adjusted.
  • Countless under-the-hood optimizations you won't even notice. (:

I'm going to begin working on Version 4 (the update you definitely are waiting for!) almost immediately. Levels, enemies, and more basic necessities to any robust platformer are coming soon. Stay tuned.
