Version 1.7 - Added Checkpoint

Ok, I know I said that 1.5 was going to be the last gameplay update, but I was still a bit bothered by how hard the Finale was and didn't want to leave it at that. There is a now a checkpoint at the 50% mark. I have also fixed a small inconsistency with how the Mouse enemies work in the Finale. Please let me know if there are any other issues. Ok bye.

Version 1.5: Finale Rework + Bug Fixes + The End?

Hello everyone! It's been a little over a month after the previous update. I took a small break from working on the game and decided to come back to it with a fresh mind. Anyhow, this update is pretty big and has loads of nice changes that I wanted to bring for a while. Moreover, this might be the final update for the game as well. Please read about it below.

Finale Rework

As you all know, I wanted to remake the Finale from the ground up again as the previous version of the Finale had RNG issues which ended up being very unfair, skewing the leaderboards, and simply not fitting the game's core themes in general. After several iterations and playtesting, I've come up with a much better Finale that fits the game far better than the previous version. This new version is essentially a longer level that tests your abilities with all the mechanics in the game as a pong ball! I have also decided to go back to the roots of the game and make this section fully one-button as well. Now, the game doesn't suddenly change to a top-down, bullet hell game, and instead remains true to its one-button, tough-as-nails platformer aspect. I can now say that the game is truly a one-button platformer game.

Gameplay Changes

The Following levels have been readjusted:
- A-2
- A-4
- A-6
- A-7
- A-8
- A-10
- A-11
- A-13
- A-15
- A-16
- A-20
- B-4
- B-9
- B-10
- B-12
- B-20
- C-1
- C-4
- C-7
- C-9
- C-20
Tweaked the sliding (for the LAST time)
Slightly reduced the Bomb's detection range (Should make levels like C-20 a bit easier)
Slightly increased float speed in Bubbles
Slightly reduced the fall speed while in Bird state

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the Mouse enemy would stop moving when the player restarted a level
Fixed a bug where the game would remain paused after un-pausing the game and holding down the "Resume" button
The game is no longer pausable during the Finale cutscene.
Made small changes to the Tilemap system which should help optimize the game a little bit more
Fixed an issue where certain objects were unaffected by the player pausing the game

The End?

I have been thinking about JAILBREAKER for a while, and although my previous idea was to add more and more content to the game as it went, I don't think that is needed anymore. The game is already challenging enough that adding more probably wasn't necessary. Additionally, the game isn't financially viable for me to justify adding even more content to the game. Therefore, I decided to make this big update that changes the current issues with the game. Most of these changes are minute and you probably won't notice it like changes to the physics engine. The most notable change of course is the Finale rework which I highly recommend checking out and giving feedback on! JAILBREAKER was a short game I made within 10 months as a challenge to make a commercial game within 1 year. Although the game isn't as impressive as other alternatives on Steam, I'm still very happy with how it turned out. I didn't expect my "pixel platformer" game to sell this well, as it is a genre that normally doesn't really succeed very consistently. Mind you, the numbers aren't super impressive but I'm still happy with the amount of people who tried the game out. A special thanks to everyone who supported the game and gave JAILBREAKER a chance. It was a very eye-opening experience :> Regardless, it's time for me to move onto other projects. I think JAILBREAKER is perfectly fine as it is now. I'll still be around if the game has bugs that need to be ironed out, but there will most likely never be anymore gameplay changes brought to the game from here on out. I have lots other ideas in my mind, though I'm not sure which to work on first. Who knows. We'll see. If you like my projects, you can join my Discord server as I'm quite active there. You can also follow me on Twitter as well. I post about my upcoming project on Twitter very often. I suppose that is the end. Thanks for playing! If you still haven't tried out JAILBREAKER, now is the best time! JAILBREAKER is a punishing, one-button platformer about escaping prison. Test your skills and intellect as you ascend a tower of hand-crafted challenges. Jump, fly, slide up walls, float in bubbles and perform somersaults; all with the press of a single button. Reach the paramount. Reach. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2661900/JAILBREAKER/

Version 1.4 - Level Adjustments + Bug Fixes

The following levels have received slight readjustments:
- A-4
- A-8
- A-10
- A-11
- A-13
- A-20
- C-4
- C-5
- C-6
- C-7
- C-8
- C-16
- C-17
- C-20
- Paramount
Fixed an issue in B-17 where the "Mouse" Trap was not detecting the player.
Change the hint in A-3 to "Jump before touching the wall to slide upwards".
The "Bomb" trap's particle animation has been sped up.
The player character will now not slip as much while jumping from wall to wall or while exiting Bird state. (Relevant in levels like A-8 and C-7)

No update has been brought to the Finale level yet. I'm still doing some testing here and there to see what works and what doesn't. Hopefully I can release that update by the end of March.

Version 1.3 - Minor changes + Working on a Finale rework

Fixed an issue where players can go out of bounds
Made the Finale significantly easier (temporary change)

Now, about the finale section of the game... I've received a lot of criticism on the Finale. The problem was that the final section contains unwanted RNG that makes it hard to practice and skews the Leaderboard in an unfair way. I've decided to try to make a rework to try and fix this issue, along with some additional features to make it easier to practice the game. The next update may take a bit of time but hopefully I can get it done in roughly a month. Thanks for playing. Will see you soon!

Version 1.2 - Major Update + Minor Patch

Gameplay Changes

MAJOR: A-19 and A-20 has now been swapped. The new A-20 has also received a complete rework, making it more fun and fair compared to its old A-19 counterpart.
Slight changed to C-9 and C-10.
Made the Finale slightly easier, again.

Bug Fixes and New Features

Fixed an issue with the warning screen appearing twice
Fixed a small issue with save files returning errors
Added a fix to prevent controllers from processing duplicate inputs on Linux.
NEW: Added a 'Speedrun mode'. This prevents the game from force crashing during scripted events. This feature is intended for speedrunners.

I have also updated the screenshots to reflect the new version. More updates coming soon! (hopefully) I gotta apply for college now :)

Minor Patch and Experimental Changes - v:1.1

Made the CRT warping effect less hectic
Made the last section of the game less RNG dependant
EXPERIMENTAL: The leaderboards will show the top 20 instead of top 50 for the time being. I might change this later once the leaderboard gets bigger
Small changes and bug fixes

Keep in mind that achievements appear to be broken for some reason. I'll try to address this issue but it should work fine as long as the Steam Client is online. This seems to be an issue for those playing the game without Steam Client online. Thank you all for your support, I hope you are having fun! More content for the game is planned to come soon.
