Another infected enemy!
Once they see you, they won't stop chasing where you are until they explode on contact! Don't get caught in their blast!

Sword & Shield Power-ups
With the sword, you can stab your enemies with a quick thrust that even lets you hover in the air a bit.
With the shield, you'll be granted two extra hit points with reduced knockback.

The Dossier, or Codex.
It's where you can read up pages on every enemy, weapon, item, and location you've come across in the game.

Taken inspiration from Sonic CD and Ratchet & Clank.
You shoot insects, blow up things, and get timewarped to either the good future or the bad future depending on whether you completed the main goal of the stage!
If you play the demo, please provide feedback as I steadily finish my next demo.

Added extra info for the pause menu including kills, secrets, objective, and lives counters seen at the top.
I've also added a health bar for bosses, and an unique animation for getting a new weapon.

Breakable Falling Floors.
If you stand on one of them for too long, you'll fall down yourself!
Whacking down unstable floors will also force them to fall immediately and they can be destroyed with bombs.

HUD has also been changed since the last demo to resemble how it would be displayed on an actual Game Boy game by having each number be an 8x8 tile.

Intro cutscene for the first boss battle.
I redesigned the sprites for the game's first boss and what better way to show it off than having it kick the old version out of the screen during a cutscene?

Long after I made that clip demonstrating the Cricket Bat Powerup, I've improved the animation for when the player slams the ground with it. Animation on the right is the latest.
