Our next update will include some changes to the difficulty system, some of you hardcore players claimed that the game can be too easy at times, so from now on you'll have 3 difficulties to choose from, easy, normal and hard.
Easy mode - Less obstacles, boss fights a little easier, you start with 3 lives.
Normal mode - All obstacles, boss fights a little harder, you start with 2 lives.
Hard mode - All obstacles, boss fights even harder, less energy to pick up, you start with 1 life.
Later on we'll add some achievements that can be unlocked only on certain difficulties and there will be a reward for finishing the game in hard mode.
The update will also include more level design, decorations and animations.
More features will be revealed throughout the week.
Bad Pad is platformer game mixed with a little arcading, shooting, puzzle solving and metroidvania elements, that being said it is still a platformer, so expect a lot of jumping and fair amount of dying along the way.
Bad Pad is my first full scale project, my hello world game if you will, I am making this game based on the memories and experiences I had growing up playing video games and as a tribute to all those amazing games that were simply fun!, a little frustrating at times... but mostly fun!
