ice-age's Issues

Can still access level1 after beating the game

After beating the game, if you enter the level1 triggering zone, then pause and unpause the game, you can still enter the level.

It's an exceptionally minor issue and honestly I don't think it's worth fixing at all. Maybe it could be some kind of easter egg or something.

Game occasionally (rarely) drops jump inputs

Every now and then the game seems to drop a jump input. No idea why this might be. If a solution presents itself then I will pursue it, but otherwise, it is very rare and not a huge concern in my eyes.

Ice can be difficult to see/dodge for new players

I have been told by one of the playtesters that the ice can be difficult to see (both because of its color and because it falls with a low enough frequency that it is easy to forget about). However, it seems like things got easier for them the more they played, and they were also the only tester to mention it. Therefore, I may not necessarily actively pursue a response to this issue unless something specifically comes to mind.

I have also been told by another tester that the ice can be difficult to dodge because of how quickly it falls. To try to remedy this, I will modify the Sprint upgrade so that it simply ups your base speed rather than having a warm-up period (I will still keep its current code in case I decide to change it back in a later version). Hopefully this will be a sufficient enough fix (at least for now) since I would rather not change the speed at which the ice falls if at all possible.

Can occasionally inexplicably die for no reason?

While testing, I seemed to have randomly died for no conceivable reason. Similarly to the issue where the boss would not trigger, this has only happened a single time and I haven't been able to reproduce it again outside of that one time. It may (or may not) be of note that this occurred after already having died once and returned to the title screen.

I may be crazy, or this may have actually happened. I will put the wontfix label on the issue for now because I will not worry about looking into the issue unless it happens again (in which case I definitely will).
