More city levels - Update 1.4 Beta


Hey guys, I am back with another update on this game! 

(This time it has not been 3 months, let's go!)

In this update, we added two new levels with the city theme to the game and expanded the overworld accordingly.

Here is the beginning of the new level "2-1" (we made the old one optional because it was too hard, it is now called "2-A"):

First: I added ambience visuals and sounds, you can see the rain particles in this screenshot.

Second: What is the blue knight doing over there? Well, that is a new feature of this update...

Speedrun Ghosts!

From now on, your fastest run on each level is saved for you and you can try beating it!

It is like beating the time trials in Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing, you now have a ghost that does the exact movements you did during your personal best run.

On top of that, the world record on the global leaderboard gets their ghost uploaded, so you can try beating the world record by following its movements!

Back to levels: I also made level 2-2 and that looks like this:


As you can see, there is a new feature in this level: Elevators!

(They don't really add anything to the gameplay yet, but the look cool and improve the game feel!)

This level is by far the most visually pleasing in my opinion, it almost looks like a proper game instead of a prototype made in Scratch!

Also @Alex375 made many more skins for you to unlock, the Santa Claus skin is one of them.

And last but not least we now have...

MUSIC!!!

Yes I also cannot believe it, but my good friend @pazzzeey made some music tracks for the game and let me tell you, they sound way better than the garbage I did before! So I recommend activating the music for once in the upcoming update!


On top of that, you of course have the typical bug fixes and polish improvements, but I won't bore you with the details here. Just play the game!

Some small things worth mentioning:

- Press J (rebindable) to open the skins menu instantly

- Nice looking screen transitions when entering levels made by @Alex375

- No Death mod works with speedrun splits now

See you again when this update goes stable, which I hope will happen before the end of this year!
