🛠 CHANGES AND FIXES SUMMARY 🛠
Updated Content / Quality of Life changes
CHANGES TO TUTORIAL AND EPISODE 1
The tutorial levels are now:
JUST A NORMAL CAR?
CAR WITH LEGS
CAR WITH TOO MANY LEGS
CAR WITH JUMPS
CAR WITH VERY LARGE LEGS
BEAR WITH ME
Each of these have gotten a new make-over visually and we tweaked the controllers.
There’s a new transition scene between tutorial and the first episode ⭐
Certain levels have been removed from Episode 1 and integrated into the Tutorial instead
New decorative scenarios and dialogue added to the surroundings in Episode 1
Changes to the navigation of Episode 1
New UI for dialogues alert (see bottom gif for example)
Part of this is also the transition between the episodes! Now, instead of getting a bear on top of CAR and this bear unlocking the computer to the next episode, it does so right away, with the new Episode Elevator!
THE ELEVATOR
New ‘Episode Elevator’ - a much quicker way of navigating between episodes. Enter the Elevator and scroll to select the Episodes as they unlock!
New Hypezones for each Episode, now in the main room
It also gives an overview of which levels you have completed and what kind of crown you got in the Episodes 👑
Edit: Yes, this means some of the secrets of the dungeon travel has been moved... Time to find the new spots 👀
