BUGBALL Feature Update #1


Hi, I've updated BUGBALL with a few features and bug fixes that will hopefully make the game more enjoyable. Thank you for your patience and continued support! Below I have included a changelog of features for this update:

CHANGELOG:

New Features:

  • Changed visual style of BUGBALL logo on title screen
  • Moved the score counter to the right side and made it more prominent
  • Added a high score counter below the score counter
  • Added How To Play and Controls menus to the title screen for easier access
  • Added separate volume controls for Music and SFX (Sound Effects), and added a Master volume control
  • Added an Options menu to the pause screen
  • Changed platforms to appear and disappear in random positions (at the same vertical height as before) to vary gameplay
  • Platforms can now be jumped through from underneath, and can be dropped through by pressing S while standing on them
  • Reduced difficulty ramp-up - enemies will now increase movement and projectile speed by a smaller amount with each point scored
  • Replaced health bar icon with a heart to more clearly communicate it's function

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed bug where you could jump through the ceiling by lowering the ropes and adding hoops for them to be attached to

  • Fixed bug where animations for the bugs may continue to play while frozen
  • Fixed bug where the player could grab ropes after death
  • Fixed bug where pause menu could be opened during a game over
