Aura of Worlds (tuxdb.com)

Update Set 0.95.x

Hi everyone, Here are some of the changes for the update:

Level Generation

Updated algorithm for an increased variety of rooms in the: Grotto, Temple, and Ice worlds.
Introduced faster and more thorough failsafes for path generation.
Reduced passageway bottlenecks

Enthral Ability Rework

Opponents are enthralled for longer and are more durable in that state.
Holding down the ability button charges up an enthral bolt. If it hits an existing ally, it will refresh the timer.
Tapping the ability button will teleport any thralled allies to a given location (and they will attack anything the bolt hits).

Audio

Some new sound effects.
3rd alternative music theme for Grotto of Guidance

Graphics

Additional scenery for Cold Crust Caverns:
Posturized lighting effects.
Fixed glitch with left/right wall hanging objects not spawning.
Added trail effect for Icer Flyer attacks
Added new jump through platforms for Grotto of Guidance.

Balance Changes

Decreased enemy spawn rate in the first world.
Spin turtles can no longer reach ridiculous speeds.
Added aiming cursor for the controller and made it more obvious when manually overriding aiming lock.
Multiple other adjustments

Bug Fixes

Fixed switch to fullscreen mode offsetting screen to menu coordinates.
Fixed rare occurrence of passageway blocked by terrain.
Fixed issue where Snowhares were still invulnerable to most attacks after they had emerged.
Several other smaller bugs

Adversity as your ally

F.A.Q.

Let's be transparent...
"What Gamepads are compatible?”
Currently Xbox and Xbox 360 controllers though other Xinput controllers may work.
NOTE: Not natively compatible with Playstation controllers yet.

Keyboard and mouse works just as well.

Is there much of a story in game?
There's minimal story exposition as of the current build.
We do plan on integrating a loose narrative as development progresses though...

“I'm running the game on an old computer, how can I make it run faster?”
Please see the following forum thread on optimization:

“Where can I report bugs/issues/suggestions?”
Please look to the forums, we check messages there each day. Feedback is welcome and there are some excellent community members who are willing to help to.

"Anything else to be aware of?"

Default gamepad controls are slightly different from convention, due to optional 360 degree aiming with right analogue stick. Though buttons can be rebound to suit.
It’s designed to be challenging, and death may be encountered frequently during your initial runs. Though there is no stunlocking/one-hit demises.
Being able to multi-task between abilities will greatly increase survivability.
**The game has a steeper learning curve than the average platformer, particularly in the first 25 minutes

Every challenge has multiple solutions

For example, if there is a chest on the other side of a lava pit; do you...?

Grapple across
Bend time and bounce off enemies
Use a boomerang to fetch the item
Blow up the pit with a grenade; setting everything nearby alight!
...
