the Big Quality of Life update!

Hello all!!! the Big QOL Update has finally been released, 2 weeks since the original update!

Quite a few, mostly non-content changes have been made to the core experience to tune it, make it more accessible and generally more enjoyable. Here’s a big list of them:

• General performance improvements have been made to virtually every little bit of the game. From the music engine to the entity updating, everything’s received huge performance boosts.
• Enemy tweaks and boss tweaks have been done to make sure the game is more Fair™ than how it was on release. A lot of these we couldn’t get to because of time constraints, but they’re here now!
• Lots of Sai’s attacks have received an overhaul, relying less on RNG and more on predictable, sane attacks.
• General constant tweaking has been done across the board for player speed, hitboxes, and similar.

A few new features were added aswell:

• Controller support is a really big one, alongside rebindable controls. I am deeply sorry for the QWERTZ users who had to experience playing this beforehand.
• A proper tutorial stage has been added, teaching you the basics and making sure you know how to apply them.
• Powerups have been overhauled, now being a hold-and-release type of projectile you can pierce through enemies with.
• Of course, a settings screen has also been added, letting you enable many frequently-requested features like a visible hitbox for Cathy.

Try it out! I’m sure the new experience is quite a lot better than the janky build we put out during the jam. You’ll make Cathy happy! Also hopefully this lays the groundwork for more stuff!! Like a new stage or two. We’ll see.
