This update brings 3 new game modes, in addition to the standard game mode:
Casual - Unlimited lives
Standard - 3 lives, with extras
Tough - 3 lives, but no extras!
Hardcore - 1 live, tougher hazards!!
In addition, a whole bunch of bugs have been fixed, and the load/save system massively improved.
Next time: Steam achievements!
This is another update focusing on QoL improvements and bug fixes. Thank you to everyone who told us about bugs on Twitter, Discord, and in the Steam forums. And thank you for being patient whilst I fixed them.
Here's a list of everything that's changed in this version:
Added support for gamepad d-pad buttons for movement.
Fixed a bug that was resetting redefined keys when starting a new game.
Fixed a bug where inventory slots would just disappear!
Improved loading and saving of games. Better indication of when it's been successful.
Running the game will auto-resume from a previous save point, if there is one, otherwise it'll start a new game.
Added missing hint dialogue in the greenhouse.
Improved the interactions with the vines and the bird.
Ok, so I discovered that the Windows versions doesn't run properly on Windows 7, so this update fixes that. Unfortunately, it means I have to bundle everything in the build (like I do for the Linux and Mac versions) so it's quite a bit larger (150mb instead of 10mb!) but this is just a one-time thing. Future updates will continue to be small. :-)
Beep's Escape is a non-too-subtle nod to the ZX Spectrum games of the 1980s, in particularly the Dizzy franchise of action-adventure games.
You take control of Beep, a brave yet cavalier robot who is on a mission to escape from the strange tech facility that he and his fellow bots are being held captive in. Using just your wits and the items you find around you, will you help Beep find a route to safety?
Features
Lots of old-school platforming, some of which will test your skills.
Puzzles galore. Use items in unusual ways to solve puzzles and progress!
Talk to your fellow worker bots for clues and help.
Watch out for a host of hazards, including the feared guard bots!
Built in CRT filter and authentic ZX Spectrum loading sequence, for real retro feels!
