2024 was a great year for Phaser. I tried it for the first time in 2020, but it feels like more has happened this year than in 2020-2023 combined. Great work, and I’m looking forward to what’s next!

I'll probably have to do something to make him more different just to be safe. Better safe than sorry.

But before I add too much, I just want to have a variety of interesting (simple) weapons for the initial prototype.

Yes, to a certain degree. Unfortunately, my limitation is that the collision box needs to be concave. And all my weapons are "sticks" now, haha

I want to experiment with adding more collision boxes per weapon to overcome this though. Adding a nunchuck (or a flail as you suggest) is on my TODO list.

Great suggestions. I'll add some I think can fit well, and definitely the candy cane.

They don't have any significant properties. The length, mass, and the shape of collision box affect gameplay slightly. Would be cool to add additional visual effects to the weapons, but keeping it simple for now.

I think it’ll look more like hot jelly in the end too if I can’t get the lava effect right.

You’re right, it’s a bit too much. I’ll try to tweak it more, but maybe the lava will be renamed to hot jelly.

I'm so happy to hear that! It's the first time I experiment with some "fun" UI instead of just smashing some menus and buttons in there.
I must admit, it’s enjoyable to click around and explore, haha.

Sounds good. I'm considering getting the game myself. I heard a lot of bad things in the past, but I'm happy to see that it gets updates

Love the Vibes. Here's an alternative art they generated for my game, Puckit!

I like how the character grabs onto the ledge

Put the sprite or graphics in the tween, and use an "Elastic.Out" easing function. (`this` is a Scene)
