I updated this to a new version, version 1.5. It includes new animations, and merges the older content with the Release Something content. Fixed the core structure of the game to allow for new mechanics, which are coming next, thankfully. I need to introduce things like save crystals, creating shadow clones in adjacent squares where you may be teleported, finishing backgrounds, replacing or tweaking a couple of bad puzzles, and disabling the ability to teleport under an object if it is blocking the way. None of these are gamebreaking but they are possible improvements.

More importantly, though, I just want to finish this game, and that requires adding a lot more mechanics. I don't know how to structure the overworld, but I'm just going to opt for a "place puzzles anywhere" strategy, then lock the final gate up with a certain amount of pills that you need to collect, e.g. 10 out of 14. I hope this will make it feel like it's an achievement to have finished. I can't think of another way to salvage this project. It makes me feel like I'm not that great a developer.

So I need to structure this so that it feels more satisfying when you finish puzzles, but I don't want to pander with a needless "congratulations!" screen with balloons and confetti and brass fanfare. I have an idea for the ending but it might be too abstract and not satisfying. I need to develop the story more, but I don't know how to track a plot. I'm feeling not very confident on this one. At least it's an interesting experiment.

Thanks everyone for all your support. You're cool to me.

Thanks unity. All this is very useful. You'll always be my first sub. I feel like I can do it now! Whoopee!

Cheers, Red Nova. You guys are inspirations to me and I appreciate your support.
