hey gang! here’s our last update before submitting to PIGSquad’s “finish your game“ jam. this one is major, with several main features and quality of life additions. 

oh but first, a shoutout to the rest of the flickshot team: tony (@saucyfaucet) and adam (@waveparadigm) have both provided crucial work and talent to the project, and flickshot wouldn't be what it is without them!

additions.

• flickshot now has a title menu.
  • rounds now have a score limit, adjustable in the play > settings menu.
  • settings page includes screenshake adjustment, rumble toggle, and music toggle.
  • stage select screen allows for disabling certain stages.
  • before a match, players must press A to sign in.
  • credits page.
• @waveparadigm did a ton of work under the hood to enable the menu system and faster iteration.
• new UI element attached to the player that indicates whether or not the player is able to parry or dodge.
• new stage: "washer".
  
• "jaw" stage reworked.
• "crush" stage now has flat bumpers in the corners.
• a new song by @saucyfaucet (and more to come!)
• new end of round quip font.
• end of round quip total: 650 and counting.

bugfixes.

• the player no longer has a small chance to lose all momentum instead of bouncing off a wall.
• disconnecting and reconnecting controllers should now behave as expected. on controller disconnect, the disconnected player will go intangible until reconnected, and display a "disconnected" icon near their health UI.

future.

we have big plans for future flickshot features. we’re including an item system, an entirely new original soundtrack by @saucyfaucet with dynamic elements that react to the hypest moments of gameplay, and much more. stay tuned for new versions—flickshot is a daily labor of love and you never know when the next update might drop!
