Much-needed fixes...!
Wearing Lingerie While Smashing Pumpkins into Small Piles of Putrid Debris With Your Bare Hands » Devlog
- Improved intro:
- The original version of the intro used GB Studio's "Camera Move To" event to switch between animation frames, which while functional does tend to create graphical glitching - brief ghosting, basically - which obviously isn't a great look (if I find myself attempting some kind of Game Boy demake of renowned Doom mod Lilith, then there may be a place for that sort of thing, but for most other projects it's all a bit 🤢).
- Turned Morag into a Sprite in this scene and replaced all "Camera Move To" instances with "Actor Set Animation Frame" events instead.
- Better looking standing kick and small adjustments to walking animation tiles:
- Literally a case of copy/pasting and flipping the Leg Sweep tiles, and moving the odd pixel around.
- Changed path following "Results" screen:
- Results screen now leads straight back to Title screen instead of dev logo followed by intro sequence, so players can get back into the action quicker.
- Added "Replay Intro" option to Title screen.
- Added failsafes to button input events:
- Odd things would happen in the old build if the player were to press buttons while in the middle of an attack animation.
- Fixed pumpkin behaviours:
- Implemented "Variable Increment By 1" event to their On Hit code, enabling the end-game tally to actually work - a heck of a thing to overlook... 😵
- Fixed issue which had caused them to be invisible for most of a run.
- Added Crash sound when hit.
- Expanded pumpkins' "attack pattern" loop:
- Initial pass with dialogue boxes serving as a tutorial.
- More variety in terms of where the next one will come from; there is a pattern, but it's a long one...!
- Added Pause menu.
- Also exported downloadable .gb and .pocket files.
Note that this isn't WLWSPiSPoPDWYBH's final form...!
Still to come:
- Improved Results screen:
- The current version still uses the aforementioned "Camera Move To" events, with associated glitching, plus, as the core of the game is a large-sprites stress-test, the reasonably-proportioned version of Morag on the results screen seems almost anticlimactic... 🤔
- Dialog box avatar fix:
- This will be a very minor fix, but Morag's supposed to be wearing a pumpkin hairclip in this game, which I completely forgot to include in the avatar images... 🤦♂️
- UNLOCKABLE GALLERY...!

Wow, you've had a very busy Halloween! Everything has been overhauled in less than a day!
I've been able to get a proper taste of the gameplay now, it's fun and works well as a short game! A small interval between pumpkins especially at the start would help ease players into the action and would prevent situations where moving away from a pumpkin makes the next one hit you from the back. Other than that, I think you've addressed all of the other issues I had in this a large and very fast set of fixes!
I've been thinking about adding some wait time between a pumpkin appearing and actually moving - like a fraction of a second 🤔
Which in turn got me thinking, if that interval can be of varying lengths, I'd be on track for implementing difficulty settings... 🤔🤔
They can speed up as you go, just the first few should be slow enough for new players not to get knocked out in 2 seconds. If you're adding wait times, then maybe you can show an arrow or a target icon at the place they'll appear. That will also help players avoid instant impact if they're standing at the edge of the screen.
