Update 1.01 & Jam Results

Thank you to everyone who rated my game during the GMTK Game Jam 2024!
I placed 108th out of approximately 7,600 submitted games, which is an amazing and completely unexpected result for my first game jam!

To celebrate, here’s an update with some much-needed improvements that I couldn’t implement during the jam.

Changes:

• Reduced the size of the hitboxes for both the character and the blocks to prevent the character from being easily killed during the block placement phase.

• The sticky block no longer attaches automatically; it only sticks when moved horizontally toward other blocks.
  
  
• Improved block controls. The command to drop blocks quickly (Enter) has been removed. Now, holding a direction allows you to move the block quickly in that direction.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where the character sometimes rotated in the wrong direction during a double jump.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where the orb could spawn twice in a row at the same location.
  
  
• Improved orb spawning to prevent it from spawning too high too early.
  
  
• Enhanced the visibility of the tentacle (though further improvements are still needed).
  
  
• You can now end the character phase early by pressing E (previously only Enter was supported).
