I'm so excited to announce that 0.71 has been released! This new update brings two new zones:
Zone 11: A fast zone with a train that's been abandoned and its tracks as the main attraction.
Zone 12 (Aeroplane): A mostly empty zone with only two planes (one broken in half) and a handful of debris on which to jump, a great challenge for Polpo!
In addition to fixing several annoying bugs, I introduced a new zone, zone 10 (arcade e pizza nostalgia).
In this level, I experimented with increasing the number of enemies on the screen at the same time, causing Polpo much more trouble! The new zone is less in size than the others, but I believe achieving the highest score will be challenging.
I hope to release zones 11 (the train) and 12 (the plane) within the following month, bringing the total number of missions available for this early access to 12.
For the time being, my first priority is to finish all 16 zones before focusing on improving everything and taking a comprehensive look at the game.
-Fixed a issue where sometimes Polpo fails to recharge -Fixed a issue where Birdieboh fail to shot
Update 0.66
Hello,
Update 0.66 is now available. This update is significant for me since there is a new zone, zone 9 (nuclear power plant). This zone is the first of the second half of the game, where things become serious for Polpo!
There are also numerous corrections and optimizations to the game in this release; I hope they don't introduce any new unexpected bugs!
I've also put a crash reporter in the game. It is not yet complete, however if you have a fatal crash while playing the game, please send me the Unreal crash reporting message.
Another surprise is the introduction of a wider variation in Polpo's color palette. There is a new color palette in the previous zones 5 and 8 as well as the new zone 9
They are still WIP... please let me know what you think.^^
-Polpo will allow an emergency landing,(with zero battery) -Walking and shooting consume less battery power -Shooting while Polpo is flying or jumping consumes half the energy. -Enemy bullets are more damaging (x1.5 / x2). -Polpo will receive less energy from the energy capsules. -Zone 1's level design has been updated. -added an extra sfx alarm (Polpo's energy <0) -a new Mei text -small fix
UPDATE 0.64
In this update, I have redesigned the first 4 zones, making them straightforward and more intuitive to play. There are significant differences upstream, especially in the initial level, which should make it easier for new players to understand and enjoy the game.
I hope these changes will make the game more enjoyable for new players to understand as well as veterans.
-level design 1-4 zones -improved enemy missile behavior -added some new Mei text lines -improved pre-existing text -new visual feedback (energy bar) -some new SFX -
BUG FIXED ZONE 1 There is no current collision on the metal plate near the car. on the floating fence with the two cherries, there's a pink box in the distance.
ZONE 2 -the level ends instantly before it even starts. -no respawn Beach ball -Collecting the Trophy displays a 120 pt bonus, but only awards 90. -the cherry on the surfboard near the left side only gives 5 points
ZONE 3 -The thunder power-up does not always appear. -there are some horizontal beams near the giant waterslide at the far end of the level, and when resting on them
zone 7 e 8 Crypto Pixels flipped

Please send me your ideas, feedback, and suggestions on what you would like to see in future updates. ^^
