World 4 (Cave World) Gameplay Polish - Eased off the Difficulty Ramp

Hey folks, Following the world 2 polish last month we've given a lot of attention to world 4, the cave world. This is a favourite of ours, and some really interesting gameplay mechanics and level designs come into play here. However because building these levels is a lot more time consuming (the cave levels are both vertical and horizontal, whereas most other worlds are primarily horizontal) we didn't polish the difficulty as much as the other worlds. Replaying this world again I don't know how I managed to get gold on all these levels, so it was good to get some perspective and realize the bar was set crazily high! So as with world 2 these levels are still an awesome challenge, but now gold is much more achievable for the experienced player. We also gated world 4 in the overworld so you now need 10 droplets to enter. This is just to get you in the rhythm of collecting droplets before you hit the last few worlds where a large number is needed to enter. We hope you're enjoying Mage Drops! As always come and join us on Discord, we'd love to hear about your experiences: https://discord.gg/zHXDg65Gr8

Combining elements of golf and minigolf-like games with puzzle platforming and a twist of fantasy magic, Mage Drops evolves the hit-and-wait formula of golf by adding magic: shots can be influenced mid-flight and elements of the world can be influenced like pinball bumpers, flippers, moving platforms and more!

The environment itself is full of magical capabilities. Some can be used to your advantage, and some are hazards and traps: shots can cling to jelly walls, bounce off bubbles, be propelled by explosions, float on clouds, burn away obstacles with fire, gain powers by flying through magic rings, stimulate plants to grow into new platforms and much more!

The Feel:
• The worlds are bright and uncluttered, with serene music, nature elements and a relaxing gameplay tempo
• Gameplay is transparent and accessible, simple enough for a complete beginner, but revealing its challenge and mastery for more seasoned players

The Goals:
• A unique scoring system combines the traditional strokes/par of golf with timer-based scoring. So you need to be precise AND fast to discover all the game has to offer
• There are collectibles and platforming puzzles: unlock and explore all worlds in the game by scoring a gold in each level. Fun platforming puzzles must be mastered to discover all the secret collectibles and find the game's true ending

The Journey:
• master the use of magic: fire, water, wind, earth, electricity and much more, to find the fastest way through courses and discover all the secrets!
• 8 unique worlds in the final game, from forests to underwater, from a machine world to the cosmos! The gameplay in each is themed, so new possibilities, tricks, and traps unfold as you unlock new worlds. The first world is forest themed: trees can be grown to use as platforms, giant flowers can suck shots in and spit them out, living bushes can block the shots, and even more. Discover the unique possibilities of each world!

“If you're up for a challenging new spin on a classic game, Mage Drops is the physics-based 2D-platforming golf-like game for you!”
–NerdLovesGeek

“Very impressed with the game so far! Nothing else like it on the market...totally fresh take on the golf genre”
