More work on the walk cycles!! Made the character a bit bigger because it was way too small in the game world imo

Hiya pals!
Today, the mystery of the sliding puzzle is solved! It will be used to control the layout of mazes. Will you be able to create your path to get through? Of course you will, you're the Explorer Extraordinaire!
Have a magical day! :D

New week, new feature! It seems that the position of the tiles of the sliding puzzle is directly connected to these big blocks in the room...
Enjoy, and have a great week! :D

Hiya folks!! I implemented the 15-puzzle into the game world. Interacting with a certain object allows you to play it. But why would the Explorer Extraordinaire need to use this...?

Our venture into the depth of the 15-puzzle continues, with the implementation of the mouse cursor detection. Click, drag or use the arrow keys — everything will work!

Hiya buds!
Sliding puzzle time! For now I'm implementing the basic 15-puzzle, but its inclusion in the game will come with a twist... stay tuned! ;)

Hiya pals!
To cap off the work on the climbing mecahnic (for now), here's a video showcasing all the movement options and tiles. It took a lot of work but I'm proud of the result! It feels fun to play, I hope you'll agree! :)
Have a wonderful day! :D

Hiya everyone!
More climbing progress today, finally some breakable tiles!
There are climbable tiles that break after the player walks on them, forcing them to move fast, and there are damaging tiles that can be broken with the whip!
Enjoy! :D

Nasty tiles will try to prevent your ascent, but this won't stop the Explorer Extraordinaire, right? >:)

Hiya!!
Another mechanic I'm implementing is climbing! I made a very fast test-tileset and was able to add slower movement on climbable tiles and falling when not on climbable tiles.
I'm planning Cool Stuff™️ for climbing sections so stay tuned! :D

More work on the projectiles puzzle! I've built a system that allows me to create a predefined bullet pattern by declaring the starting position and speed of the projectile and the wait time between projectiles. I'm having a ton of fun :D

Using the whip is going to be a main mechanic for the game. You can use it to go across certain tiles. One puzzle I had in mind is using these tiles to create a room where you have to jump around and avoid projectiles!

(I can't wait to show you how the game looks once we go past this prototype stage ;u;)
