I made a bunch of modifications after the feedback from the festival on Saturday. It’s also the first patch note I’m making here, I should do that more often, especially when there are a lot of changes!

I made a bunch of modifications after the feedback from the festival on Saturday. It was the Sorbonne Game festival and I enjoyed it a lot. People were really excited about Hyperslice and it motivated me to work on it again.

:rocket: Additions

• Ability to skip tutorial
• Vignette and particles effect when ultimate is full
• Quick retry button on death screen to skip tutorial and ship select and start with the previously selected ship
• Short invincibility duration after dash
• Enemy spawn sound
• Gem orbs spawning randomly during the run. They give 5 gems when sliced
• Audio clue when dasher is about to dash
• Indicators for off-camera enemies

:wrench: Modifications

• Remove slow down time button in exported builds
• Use icons in text tutorial
• 100% chance of spawning a gembox before the first shop
• Hitboxes for obstacles and enemies are much bigger when pushed to hit others obstacles and enemies more easily
• Dash slice and push are differentiated visually and auditory
• Gembox is now pushable
• Upgrade scene can be excited without taking any
• Animate disappearance of tutorial’s content when finished

:bug: Bug fixes

• Can’t buy upgrades if gem amount is strictly equal to the required one
• Start portal can be pushed into oblivion
• Laser enemy deals damage when spawning
• Dasher still show dash line when sliced

Give it a try and let me know what you think! :point_down: https://mreliptik.itch.io/hyperslice password: hyperhyper
