Pyramid Plunge Demo released!

I’ve been very busy to get the demo out and finally it’s released. I was quite astonished when preparing the release notes how much items were in the list. Download the free demo from the Steam.

Thanks for all the bugs reported by the community on the Discord server.

And I also did this animation 🙂



Here’s the full Release Notes for v0.6.2 (which includes the demo build)

Added

  • Trigger pause menu when window loses focus (does not work on Mac)
  • Fall sprites for Felicie when walks off a ledge
  • Die sound for enemies
  • Warning sound for enemies (for now just mummy)
  • Create hit stars (not for all objects yet, especially enemies attacks, boulder and gate)
  • F10 to swap gamepads for player 1 and player 2 (useful when playing MP of course)

Fixed

  • Removed using down key to drop items as it could be triggered near a ladder when trying to go down just before. This annoys the player. Spotted by retrome in the following bugs:
  • – “Felicie jumps trough the wall when you step down from the ladder to the platform, interesting case. Expectation: Felicie keeps to stand near you. https://youtu.be/7V0rUSqrg9E?t=1034“.
  • – “You can drop Felicie when moving down on ladder, this happens pretty often. Excpectation: you keep Felicie. https://youtu.be/pRjaHFLFYyY?t=237“
  • – “When you step down from the ladder to the platform then Felicie may fall down of the platform. Expectation: Felicie keeps to stand on the platform. https://youtu.be/pRjaHFLFYyY?t=810“
  • Fixed some ordering of objects and traps
  • Fixed bug reported by retrome: “Felicie starts to jump after she hit by explosion when you carry her, funny one. Expectation: you keep to carry her or she takes a damage and you drop her down. https://youtu.be/pRjaHFLFYyY?t=1785“
  • Fixed bug reported by retrome: “Arrow hits Felicie when you carry her but she takes no damage. Expectation: Felicie takes damage and you drop her down. https://youtu.be/7V0rUSqrg9E?t=1973“
