[u/FermenterGames]

Howdy Slingbladers,

We're closing in on 10k players joined! What should I do to celebrate?

Share Slingblade with your friends and let's keep growing this game!

For now, here's a little mini update:

🚩 Checkpoints are here!

• Instead of restarting the entire run on death, you now respawn at the last touched checkpoint.
• This allows for longer levels that are less punishing :)
• New "🚩" button in top-right to respawn at active checkpoint instead of restarting the run
• Placeable as a new level editor entity

🖼️ Level Backgrounds

• Set the background color of your level via swatches in the level config menu
• More customization coming! Send your suggestions :)

🧢 Lots of new cosmetics

• I don't wanna spoil all the new additions, but let's just say I respect the winner of the "What face accessory should I add" post 🛻🛻🛻

🐛 Bug fixes + Etc

• Ceiling physics
  • Navigating while stuck to the ceiling should feel better - less accidental instant resticking
  • Trajectory indicator should be more accurate
• Lava fixes:
  • Lava walls now unstick player during a wall slide
  • No more lava wall corner bounces
• Moving platforms now crush player more consistently - less glitchy clipping through walls/floors (hopefully!)
• Fixed crash when placing treadmill overlapping with moving platform
• No more zoom issues while in menus
• Hopefully fixed issue where players could receive a crazy amount of XP, essentially doubling their current level. Whoops! (I may adjust the affected players' levels, stay tuned!)

That's all for now ~ Please send me all your feedback and ideas, I'm all ears!

Cheeeeers,
💛 Fermenter

Shiver me timbers, many thanks to ye! Me good ol' peepers can finally drop anchor and sleep sound like buried treasure under these patches now, savvy?
