The following changes have been made between Beta Demo 1.1 and Beta Demo 2.0. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] [list] [*]Improved player physics: The player changes directions more quickly during slower platforming sections, allowing for precision platforming. On flat ground, speed mode is activated by pressing a button after gaining enough speed. [*]Updated the tether to throw projectiles at enemies in front of the player. [*]Falling into a hole deals damage instead of automatically removing a life. If the player's health bar was full, they are returned to the last place they stood before falling. [/list] [h2]Stages[/h2] [list] [*]Replaced the old tutorial stage with two different stages: One stage to teach basic controls and another to teach the mission system. [*]Changed the life system: The game starts with a maximum of 3 lives. Finding a life item in a stage for the first time increases the maximum by one. Starting or restarting a stage will reset the life counter to the maximum value. In hard mode, the old rules still apply until the game has been completed. [*]Improved level designs to make completing missions easier. [*]Fixed a problem that occasionally caused the game to crash on Spheron Orange. [/list] [h2]Graphics and menus[/h2] [list] [*]Updated the graphical style with outlines, sharper lighting and brighter reflections. [*]Added a language screen when starting up the game for the first time. [i]Seeing this screen does [b]not[/b] mean that your save files have been deleted![/i] [*]Updated the New Game screen. New games are created using the currently active options. You can set options for new save files before creating them. [*]Added option and delete buttons to the file select screen to make them more accessible. [*]For keyboard users, colored key icons are displayed in menu screens and reaction prompts to indicate which actions are expected. [/list] [h2]Performance[/h2] [list] [*]Slightly improved stage loading times and removed freezing between menu screens. [*]Greatly improved the loading time of the options screens. [/list] [h2]Other fixes and improvements[/h2] [list] [*]Removed the dependency on the [i]libglfw[/i] shared library from the Linux build. [*]Fixed a variety of other small glitches. [/list] [b]This will be the final update to the Dynacat Beta Demo. Look forward to the complete version of Dynacat later this year![/b]
