Camera Improvements: Update 0.24.0

In this update, I fine tuned the camera movement to be smoother. I also added a reduced camera motion setting for motion sensitive players. This turns off the usual way that the camera tilts in the direction of movement and prevents the camera from following the mouse.


  • Made camera motion smoother.
  • Added an option to reduce the camera motion for motion sensitive players.
  • Improved 1 way laser colliders.
  • Fine tuned the way that decompression interacts with physics objects.
  • Made the camera return to a more neutral position when closing the map.
  • Added a size changing effect to give picking up items more JUICE!
  • Put in item droppers to prevent soft locks during item tutorials.
  • Added sounds for item droppers and item launchers.
  • Added a prompt for difficulty setting.
