Improved Game Juice and Improved Visual Effects

Game Juice

I started working on adding the little details to the movement that make the game way more fun to play. I added a few freeze frames when starting a dash, which was inspired by Celeste. I also added a bit of camera shake to give the player even more feedback on their movement.

Visual Effects

This part was really satisfying. I made a shockwave warp effect around the player when they perform a gravity switch, which looks great. Then I made the black holes look better by distorting the background.

Frustrating Bugs

I’ve been having a lot of movement bugs that are tricky and inconsistent to replicate, and I can’t figure them out yet.

Next Steps

I still need to get the AnimationTree to work, but that should really be quite easy. I still have to redesign some levels.
