Belle Boomerang

Insectile Coming Soon!

Update 1.4.0 - Difficulty Swapping!


The big feature of this update is difficulty swapping! If you begin a file in "retro" mode, you may now switch to "newcomer" mode at any point. Please note that this conversion is one way. There is no bumping up the difficulty from an easier file!

Misc.



  • You may now swap the difficulty to "newcomer" from a "retro" file. This can be done from the "file select" screen.

Bug Fixes



  • Fixed a bug where the boomerang sound effect would play for far too long.
  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 2 where the player could leave behind the Bellion, locking themselves in a pit.
  • Fixed a bug in Act 3 where Belle and all of the enemies would disappear.
  • Fixed a couple of background inconsistencies corresponding to Act 3.
  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 4 where the player could defeat the boss prematurely.

I apologize that this update came so soon after 1.3.2. Thank you once again to all of the new players! Feel free to reach out with any further bug reports and suggestions.

Update 1.3.2
This update mainly addresses a rare crash in Act 9.

Misc.



  • The animation buildup for the Bubble Power is now much quicker.
  • Fixed the Act 3 background in the credits.
  • Added a missing playtester in the credits.

Bug Fixes



  • Fixed a bug where the Hshu Hshu would de-spawn prematurely.
  • Fixed a crash in Act 9.

Thank you to all of the new players recently! Let me know if you find any more errors!

Update 1.3.1 - Watercolor Falls


The big feature of this update is the overhauled background of Act 3. This update also addresses concerns of motion sickness, fixes a few bugs, and overall ties the game closer to its upcoming Nintendo Switch counterpart.

Visuals



  • The intro now features a “photosensitivity warning”.
  • Act 3 has received a significant amount of polish. The new backgrounds allow the viewer’s eyes more space to rest and are more compositionally interesting.
  • The Intermission and all other instances of Act 3 background elements have received similar polish.

Controls



  • Players must now press the Up Button to interact with NPCs.
  • In textboxes, the star icon has been changed to an A Button icon. This change can only be seen when using a gamepad.
  • Plugging in a new gamepad will now register during active gameplay.

Misc.



  • The Bellion’s attack will no longer staircase upwards when jumping.
  • The Hshu Hshu enemies now burst quicker when hitting a wall or a screen boundary.

Bug Fixes



  • Fixed a bug where the Bellion would shift forward upon being possessed.
  • Fixed a bug where the Bellion would be unable to pick up bells with ribbons.
  • Fixed a bug where the Zoontites would flip back and forth rapidly.
  • Fixed a bug where the Sheris would begin moving forward in air.
  • Fixed a discolored screen transition in Act 8, Scene 4.
  • Fixed a bug where stars would spawn twice in Act 8.
  • Fixed a bug where the Hshu Hshu’s head would detach.
  • Fixed a visual error where you could see the edge of an offscreen sprite in Act 12, Scene 2.

Please let me know if you find any further bugs! Enjoy!
