Cat On Board v0.02 Update


This update includes a controls overhaul, improved(?) UI,  a wider FOV,      and   4 more collectible chicken wings for a total of 9 wings to collect!   The test level has also been slightly expanded.

New Movement Controls:

  • LEFT/RIGHT:   Push Left or Right, Brake and Turn (if held in the opposite direction you're moving)
  • DOWN: Neutral Brake, Stomp Down (in air only)
  • UP/SPACE BAR: Jump

I made these changes due to some feedback about the original controls feeling unnatural for a platformer, and I  think movement feels much better now that they are implemented.  You can hold LEFT/RIGHT to continuously Push in that direction in relation to a timer, so there's no need to press the key repeatedly. The Stomp Down movement attached to the DOWN button helps avoid overshooting platforms, and it feels kind of neat too. The space bar was jump in v0.01, but I forgot because I don't use it often    in testing.

I'm looking to make small improvements and continue    updating Cat On Board   on a weekly basis for Devtober 2021, so stay tuned for next week when I hopefully grow the controls beyond basic movement and   implement TRICKS!
