Alpha 0.3.0 is here! I decided to skip uploading Alpha 0.2.0 to Itchio due to feedback of things that needed fixing. With that all out of the way, welcome to the Jerry update!

What's new:

• NEW MOB! Blobber is the new main overworld mob. It has the same functionality as the Bootstrappers from the early versions, with a twist! There are dark and light Blobbers. While the dark Blobbers will turn around near cliffs, the light Blobbers will just keep going. So watch out for falling blobs!

• NEW MOB! Bobos are annoying birds that fly around the map, starting with level 2. The always fly in specific patterns.

• NEW MOB! Jerry's a fast little mouse who chases Pouchie around. He runs very fast, but doesn't always know how to slow down. Hard to jump on most of the time, best to lure him to a cliff when possible.

• MOB UPDATE! Bootstrappers now jump around instead of walk around. Bootstrappers have been given a new sprite! Fits better with the rest of the mobs.

• BOSS UPDATE! Boomer now runs faster after hearing feedback that he was "too easy." Boomer has a new sprite! Still a meanie as always.

• MOVING PLATFORMS! What's a platformer game without moving platforms? Make sure you time those jumps!

• SPIKES! Spikes will sometimes be placed in areas in the game. Careful, they're sharp!

• TOUCH BUTTONS! Are you playing on mobile? You too can join in on the fun! If you're not however, you can turn off the Touch screen buttons in the Options Menu.

• OPTIONS MENU! Added to the Main Menu, you can toggle fullscreen, as well as touch screen buttons.

• PAUSE MENU! Need to pause the game? Now you can! Hit escape on PC, or the start buttons of various devices.

• NEW LEVEL! There's now Level 2, which introduces both the Bobo mob, as well as ladders, as well as Levels 3 and 5. Level 4 is being skipped at the moment because my friend who's working on the level isn't finished yet. Level 3 introduces players to Jerry, while level 5 is a moving platforms level.

• NEW ITEMS! Om Nom Cat Food. Eating this food will restore one heart of Pouchie's health. Lucky Fish will increase your lives by one. How lucky!

Bugfixes:

• You can now slowly exit out of slow-fall mode when at a wall.

• Pouchie's health will no longer show full health when killed by a mob.

• Mobs can no longer be killed by Pouchie during his death animation.

• Did some changes to the wall jump, hopefully making them a bit easier to achieve.

• Pouchie's collision has been given a box for his feet. This should help him avoid slipping off platforms too easily.D

• Bobo's collision shapes have been updated. Should hopefully fix the issue where you get hit even though you're above him.

Known issues:

• There was feedback in the previous builds that gameplay was "too floaty" and "too robotic." I don't know if any of my changes have resolved this issue, but we'll see.

• Bobo's design is too similar to the old version of Pidgey from Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green. These textures are placeholders until I can design something more original.
