New Ability: DASH
To help with mobility and speed, Emira can now DASH. Great for when you've mistimed a long jump, or ran into a wall by mistake!

We also think Adele and Boti made it look really cool too!

Not an artist by any means, but sometimes you've got to lend a hand. Created some Icons in #aseprite for the in game objective indicator system.

Ever wonder where the Guards come from? Well wonder no more! Throughout the levels Emira will encounter Guard Charging Pods. If one activates, your best bet is to run away or try to jump over its head.

Wouldn't be Wednesday without a pic of SMOL. This time he's joined the whole Cosmic Coda team for a bit of a team photo! This team has worked together and grown so much throughout our time at Abertay and DARE. We're very lucky to have these opportunities.

A new enemy has entered the fray. Turrets aggressively guard their killboxes, shooting anything they detect that is considered a threat. Fortunately Emira has a trick up her sleeve, and can cloak past these enemies.

SMOL wants to help with the final polish this week, so he's joined our art team. It looks like he wants to give himself some shiny upgrades and take Emira's place as the hero!

comment below if you think he should be the main character!
