Meltdown v2.0.0 - New Levels! (Post-Jam Update)

The Jam is over!

A huge thanks to everyone who played and rated the game during the jam! Your feedback was awesome, and I’ve implemented a large chunk of everyone’s suggestions.

First of all, a popular criticism I got was regarding the “double jump”… I agree, it kinda sucked, so I changed it and made it a proper double jump.

A couple people thought that the ice spikes in the tutorial would kill them (which totally makes sense lol), so I made the whole background a bit desaturated, which I think should fix it.

Someone also mentioned have feedback for when the player gets hit. I’m really surprised that I didn’t add that originally, so that was added too.

As for the main part of the update… NEW LEVELS! I’ve added 3 more levels to the game, all of which are unlocked at the start. Each level has it’s own stars now, which means the stars on the title screen are retired unfortunately, but jolly mode is still in the game, if you beat every level on Insanity difficulty (or, having 3 stars on every level).

Speaking of stars, I removed two of the difficulty modes. This makes it a lot easier to make and playtest levels, and also it didn’t feel like there was much of a difficulty jump for some difficulties.

I’ve also added brand new level music since the old one was kinda annoying after listening to it more than once :/

Here’s the full list of changes:

Bugs/Removed Features:

• Fixed: Audio channel issues (Sounds cutting each other off, Sounds being on the wrong audio channel, etc)
• Removed: In-between difficulties (like 0.5, 2.5 or 3.5)
• Removed: Expert and Master mode (Makes making/playtesting levels miles easier)

Additions/Changes:

• Added: Three new levels, with new mechanics.
• Changed: Level music
• Changed: Various textures
• Changed: Background desaturated (To make sure icicles are in the background and don’t look like they could hurt you)
• Changed: Double jump is now a proper double jump, instead of being timed
• Changed: Various level designs
