Owlone in the Woods

Release of 1.2!

Hi everybody,

With today's update you can now reset your progress and return to the main menu. This is a feature requested by the few of you who like to speedrun the game. Additionally, I have been pushing a few minor changes the last couple of days. These include:


  • The control selection screen on startup should now more clearly communicate that the game has both WASD, ← ↑ →, and space controls for keyboard users
  • Slightly easier platforming in a select few places
  • Less ants in a select few places
  • Fixed a fox getting stuck on the terrain


And congratulations to qipqip with a world record run breaking the 13 minute barrier!

Hope you enjoy!

Release of v. 1.1

Hi Everybody,

Based on player feedback a few minor changes have been made. Still, if you had any confusion, comments, or ideas please let me know. Today's changes include:

  • The player now reaches maximum and minimum speed immediately on pressing / releasing keys. This should make the game feel more responsive.
  • Lowered the volume of the hoots of the first owl chick
  • When colliding with walljumpable moss, the player slides down slowly, giving more time to execute a walljump
  • The player can now flap their wings when flying more frequently
  • Changed the font on the "Level Complete Screen" to fit the artstyle
  • The player now renders above speechbubbles


Enjoy!

Kasper
