Added Leaderboards & Daily Seed Game Mode!


HUP! 0.2.0 is a significant improvement & update to to the initial 0.1.0 release. A collection of bug fixes, features/quality of life, and an easter egg or two! I'm working on this passion project with very little time so while this may be small to some it's big for a solo dev that is also a dad with a full time job :)

Here's what we got:

Features/Quality of Life

  • New Daily Seed game mode! This level is 95% the same outside of some procedural spawning issues with pickups and platform types I haven't been able to iron out. So there will be some variance in your runs but the placement of platforms is 100% the same every time. 
  • Implemented leaderboards. You can now fight for a top 10 spot on the leaderboards for each game mode. This will also require you to set a player name when launching for the first time. Once your name is set you can only change it by deleting save data which you can learn how to do at the bottom of the game page. Deleting both save files will reset your game to default settings but you will be unable to link your old account with the new one. You will however be able to use the same name, there are no restrictions on that. Lastly, the Daily Seed leaderboard is reset every day around midnight. Currently I have to do this manually so apologies in any issues.
    • Note: you must be online in order to have your score count & be submitted to the leaderboard. There is no way to retroactively add your score to the leaderboard.
  • 2x pickups now also grant a "Second Chance".  Spawns a platform beneath you if you are about to lose. If you get another 2x pickup before using this it will not stack.
  • Added some visual indicators to help the player gauge how far they are jumping when looking straight up to jump further. Motes & pretty glass pillars!
  • Added a indicator on the bottom of the screen that clarifies when the player lands.
  • Added notifications indicating what kind of pickup was obtained.
  • Added a notification for when the combo is reset.
  • Added a score feed above the jump bar indicating how many points each platform is being added to your total score.

Bug Fixes/Improvements

  • Default platform color for a few options was incorrect. You could fix it by setting the default color intentionally 
  • Hopefully fixes focus issues when launching the game that resulted in the player having to click multiple times to select a button.
  • Locked main menu frame rate to 60fps to prevent your GPU from taking off.
  • Fixed an issue where jumping into a ramps collision box from the side which launches you forward.
  • Rings now have a few extra secrets for players with a lil extra style :)
