Backstory
Alright so here's the thing, I've recently released my first game, Heavy Beat on itch.io and now I'm offering 100$ to anyone that can beat me at it. I re-released it a week later as free-to-play and also gave it a nice update to fix some bugs and balance the gameplay a little bit more, don't worry, I've also reset the leaderboards to get rid of the pre-update scores :)
Game Updates
Overall these changes should make the game feel a lot better, especially while playing Tower mode.
- The game is now FREE-TO-PLAY, you can download it for free on itch.io.
- Reset the Leaderboards
- Added central visual cue to picking up diamonds
- Lowered the number of platforms present on each level in Tower mode (from 5x5 to 4x4, effectively 16 tiles per level)
- Added more Hook tiles in Tower mode as well as doubled the amount of Hook Charges received with each power-up in order to allow for more usage
- Boosted the speed of the grid in Tower mode to account for the increased use of the Hook
- Fixed the song bug where if you delete it from the list it will continue playing in the game
- Increased the jump strength of the jump tiles in Tower mode
- Adjusted the jump tile spawn rules for Runner, now if a jump tile spawns, there should be no tile above interfering with the jump direction
