UPDATE 19: Under the Hood
2024-07-28Update time! I am hard at work grinding out all the new maps, but none of that is in this update! This is a primarily technical update to fix up a lot of sloppy old work that was underpinning some of the core mechanics, as well as making some important improvements to the game mode in anticipation of the updated level content. The biggest highlights are the choice of 1 of 3 free power-ups in the bus after each stage, and the reduction of the number of bus tokens needed to progress each level: now 3 instead of 5! There was definitely too much running around scouring the map for hands before, so this change greatly improves the pacing and makes the difficulty level less brutal. CHANGELIST: • Fixed the Flame Rifle and Double Barrel Shotgun firing at crooked angles
