*Gasp* A fun water level!?
We are making good progress with the game lately. Testing and polishing is taking most of our time, we cant commit to a date yet, but we are getting there! Today I wanted to talk about water jets! In our last update, we showed a very sonic-esque animation if you recall. Well that animation is for underwater sections. We thought about how to make a water level "fun", and simply improving your mobility and removing the element of drowning actually makes these sections a lot of fun!
Your trajectory depends on the direction you make contact with the water jets. You can change your trajectory a little bit while rolling too! And pressing jump lets you stop the rolling. The best part about this is that you can chain water jets, increasing your max speed exponentially! Its really satisfying to pull off. And underwater hazards like the ballon fish can be avoided if youre rolling too. Exploring underwater is really fun now! So we made sure to add secret chests and goodies throughout the level ;)
Who is that "Don" theyre talking about? (Let us know if you enjoy these kind of updates as announcements! We could use this for smaller updates too.)

STORY:
Inspired by Paper Mario games and RPGs in general, it tells the story of a world where the chosen hero has failed and an underling of the main villain takes his place as the new “hero”.
