Easter content
New quest: Hoppity Halls A surreal stretch of territory, these well-hidden catacombs echo with the chittering of long-eared burrowing creatures. It is said that a powerful wizard known as Bunnymancer the Bunnymancer (and Not Very Creative) dwells here, harvesting magical eggs and turning any hapless intruders into puffy-tailed, carrot-loving bunnybones!
Unlocked after Gucha's optional Spook-ey Hole quest.

Can be found at the end of the Hoppity Halls quest.

Skeletal Dance Party 1.3.0: Cute Dungeon Update
Hello,
I hope that you are still having a wonderful and comfy winter. I found some spare time to continue to work on Skeletal Dance Party. Thus I present Skeletal Dance Party 1.3.0: Cute Dungeon Update! It comes with new environment, jump pads, destructible walls and one of the most requested features; a minimap.
Minimap
Lost in the dungeon? You can now view the minimap using Tab, or select if playing with a gamepad.
Jump pad
Every good party needs bounce - and nothing gives more bounce than jumping pads. These nifty things can now be found in the dungeon and allows your skeletons to attack enemies from above! It also allows Reva to access some hard to reach places.
Destructible walls
Some of the walls in the dungeon are quite old and weak. Running into them will surely destroy them and reveal hidden areas!
More new things
Added Spotlights, Large statues and small coffins props.
Better item placement in dungeon.
Better decorated dungeon.
Added more props to hub world.
Fixes
Improved Steam Gamepad support.
Updated engine to Unity 2018.
Please let me know what you think of the new features and if you find any bugs let me know in the forums.
