Patch 1.0.5! :DIn this patch, I attempted to fix 2 bugs submitted by users:
1. Exit to hub would count as a death. -Submitted by Quetzel (From SK Vega guild)
(I wasn't able to reproduce this bug, but I attempted to put a fix in place that will hopefully prevent it from happening)
2. Doors not working and getting stuck in permanent loading screen. -Submitted by Salvor
(This one is a pretty major softlock that I hope this patch can fix, I was not able to trigger the conditions for the lock to happen while playing, but while debugging I think I found the reason for the problem and as such I hope it is now fixed!)
Thank you to everyone who submitted bug reports! If you have anything else please post in the Feedback/Bugs thread in the discussions!
[ 2022-12-22 03:28:22 CET ] [ Original post ] Horoscopicus is a game inspired by 2D platformers from a certain incredibly well known portable console from the 90s!
Play as
Horo in this 2D Retro platformer and try your best to collect the 12 zodiac signs (
AND PET THE SECRET ANIMALS) so that you may unlock the door to the mysterious 13th zodiac!


- Explore 12 levels + Special versions, all inspired by their own unique zodiac sign!
- Choose your own path! The initial 12 levels can be played in any order!
- 4 Different upgrade types which change character visuals to match!
- Find and PET 12 DIFFERENT SECRET ANIMALS! :D
- A multi-stage final boss!
- Several selectable screen borders! (Can you find out how to change them?)
- Lots of references to other games and media!
- Simple controls! (A Jump button, an Attack button and directional keys for Movement.)
- An assist/accessibility mode that can help with those particularly tough sections!
- An amazingly unique soundtrack made by Laila Kalantari!
- One difficulty, tailored to be the intended experience!
- Speedrun friendly! (Enemies behave under cycles)
- Total length of the game should be around 2h~, though it highly depends from player to player! :)


Disclaimer:
This is my first big game and it was completed
mostly as a solo project.
While I got some help during development, expect a more "traditional indie" quality to the game! :)
Nonetheless, I hope you manage to enjoy it regardless!
