A new beta release of _Sketchy Maze_ is now available. This release brings a
|
||
|
|
lot of new features to the level editor, such as a Text Tool and Flood Fill
|
||
|
|
Tool, and adds a couple new levels for a game mode called "Azulian Tag."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In Azulian Tag, the player who is "It" (that's you) needs to avoid being
|
||
|
|
tagged by the enemy characters, most of which are Azulians. The Azulians
|
||
|
|
on these maps have an infinite aggro radius and will chase after the player
|
||
|
|
no matter how far away you are! To get the gold medal high score, you need
|
||
|
|
to find the secret exit hidden in each level. Otherwise, you're awarded a
|
||
|
|
silver high score based on how long you survive until one of the Azulians
|
||
|
|
catches you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|

## New Level Editor Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some new drawing tools are added:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The **Text Tool** makes it easy to stamp text messages onto your level,
|
||
|
|
choosing from one of the built-in fonts (including the Azulian language
|
||
|
|
font!) and using any of your level's colors.
|
||
|
|
* The **Flood Tool** implements a paint bucket to replace contiguous
|
||
|
|
regions of your drawing with a new color.
|
||
|
|
* The **Pan Tool** lets you easily scroll your level viewport with your
|
||
|
|
left mouse button or finger swipe on mobile. This is especially useful
|
||
|
|
for devices with touch screens so you can avoid accidentally editing
|
||
|
|
your level when you just wanted to scroll it!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New **Game Rules** can be customized on your level to change the game's
|
||
|
|
default behaviors, including:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A **Difficulty** setting that can adjust the way enemy mobs behave.
|
||
|
|
On Peaceful, enemies ignore the player and do no harm. On Hard mode,
|
||
|
|
enemies become more aggressive, such as the Azulians having an
|
||
|
|
infinite aggro radius and run at the player at level start!
|
||
|
|
* The **Survival Mode** rule changes the meaning of "high score" for
|
||
|
|
the silver medal tier: you're awarded for _how long_ you survive before
|
||
|
|
dying rather than how quickly you beat the level. On these levels, the
|
||
|
|
gold tier for finding the Exit Flag unscathed is still awarded for
|
||
|
|
fastest time finding the flag.
