Major Update (v0.4)!
Paintread » Devlog
Wohoo new update after a long while! Took a while, mostly because I had to make a saving system and worked on more underlying game logic, but that’s done now so now I can shift my focus towards adding sfx, making the UI and levels look nice and so on. Here are the full patch notes:
New Stuff
- Implemented Saving System!
- A new level!
- Difficulty Modifiers! Currently there are 2 of them with 2 more being planned:
- Hardcore mode (resets level when dying)
- Colorblind mode (all colors are the same)
- Implemented accessibility settings for changing the in-game colors, hopefully to make it more accessible to colorblind people
- Implemented Statistics Page
Improvements
- Minor performance improvements, particularily in bigger stages (~5-10% overall)
- Made confirmation text unique based on which button was pressed
- Player Color now matches the surface they collide with
- Decreased camera drag a bit, meaning the camera follows the players exact position a bit closer
- Made wording of options clearer and more consistent
- Added version number
Bugfixes
- Fixed timer being off by 0.05 seconds
- Fixed player being able to jump for a short time upon loading a level if they restarted a level while touching a jump regenerating surface
- Fixed player keeping their checkpoint if they restarted a level while touching a checkpoint surface
- Fixed camera specifications being messed up if player restarts while the camera is changing
- Fixed small tiling error in level 0
- Fixed restarting from checkpoint at level start regenerating a jump
That’s it for now! Expect a couple minor updates / bugfixes after this (with possibly a more experimental bonus level?) and then it’s time for me to shift my focus on visuals, sound and the final 2 base levels. Overall I plan on hopefully having around ~12 levels in the game by the time it’s done, but we’ll see if I actually get to that point xd

silly precision platformer where different surfaces interact with the player in interesting ways
