This update addresses some requests for better control binding - you can now bind default keys for skills. Dive action keybind has been also separated from Confirm button - so it will be possible to bind to another key for gameplay and still use it for confirming UI navigation.
Big refactor has been performed on how Layout data stores zooid angles - we had an issue where growing a perfect circle with 22.5 degree turns was impossible - it would get rounded up or down. We had to update how Layout data is stored which means it will no longer be backwards compatible with previous versions once new version is loaded up.
Version 0.7.8f6
Buginis Boss 1 attacks back
Add option to limit total spawns of an Enemy Spawner. Limit Alpha spawns to 1 per level
Angle-clamp zooid angles in layouts to 1440 degrees
Increase exported Layout position precision to 3 fraction digits (up from 2)
Optimize boss skill range checks by exiting early if skill is unavailable. Should improve Buginis Boss 3 performance
Fix zooid angle rounding error by internally storing zooid angles 4 times higher, to support up to 32 rotations as integers
Fix spacing in UI Elements by adding minimum height as font size
Add missing sprites for Controller key binds. Allow setting default keybinds for skills in Options menu
Sipho is a game that combines eerie real life underwater creatures, insects, body parts with building, combat and exploration. Create your own creature by combining various parts, called zooids. Each zooid specializes in some sort of function– some zooids eat food, others are responsible for movement, attacking other creatures or providing structural support. Most zooids have active and passive abilities. All of the zooids combine into a single creature, Sipho, whose main goal is to climb to the top of the food chain, by using cunning weaponry and various skills.
Collect nutritious food, grow your own creature to become the best of them all. Beware though, there are powerful enemies out there to stop you.
