I finally finished the 10th room of the game! This room introduces a ton of new mechanics in its level design. I’ve been working on the mechanics for this room for the last several devlogs, so it’s nice to finally have finished it!

In this room, the player must navigate to 2 different levers that, when triggered, open a gate in the floor. Players can then fall down a chasm into an ancient battlefield room. Then they obtain the shield ability from a fallen soldier. Then some of the newest enemy types spawn in and the player must sucessfully defeat them. To survive the battle, the player needs to utilize the new shield ability which allows them to block attacks.

I also added a beta features toggle to the pause menu. The toggle allows the player to use certain in-game abilities that are still in development, like sprinting, dashing, wall jumping, double jumping, lunge attacking, shield bouncing, and more.
