And it's out!

Here's some screenshots to pique your interest:

Update: Duckface comes with a level editor, and now it's possible to share you custom levels via Duckface server. You can view some levels made by other users here: duckface.lol/scenes.html.

But since I have only a limited amount of server space, you need an author key from me to be able to save your levels on the server. So if you need one, you can ask for one at Discord or here at forum.

Time for an update! Today I added these features / changes:

• Now you can watch a replay of your successful or utterly failed attempt to clear a level. Later it will be possible to save the recording.
• As an attempt to tone done the difficulty, I made the characters less slidy by increasing friction. Ice is still slippery af.
• Improvements to mobile controls. Now it's easier to jump straight up. Also you can skip the title screen by touching the screen.
• Bug fixes for slow connections. It was possible to skip levels accidentally by pressing button while the levels is loading. Also music should work better now.
• Small tweaks to levels and sprites to make the game easier.

Ok, update time!

New sprites:

• Cheeks, that blows upward. Now you can also see the winds blowing.
• Ceiling spikes
• Elevator

Many of the levels have been made faster and / or easier to complete.

Game engine had to be updated to handle multiple hit boxes pre sprite (e.g. elevator sprite). Also I had to rethink jumping so that winds blowing from below would lift the player up. And after changing the jumping code, I had to re adjust some of the levels.

Also fixed many bugs in collision detection, and probably introduced new ones...

Duckface level editor also has lots of improvements like proper resize handles for tiles, sprites, and the whole scene. Selecting tiles and sprites also works better (you can select multiple while pressing shift), and now sprite and tile buttons have preview images.
