## Player shouldn't be able to climb walls
## "Azulian Tag - Forest" and "Shapeshifter"
There is currently a bug where holding the Jump button allows the player to climb
walls to their right (but not to their left). This is not intended behavior and
will be fixed eventually. For a work-around, draw overhangs at the tops of walls
that you don't want the player to climb over. Levels that rely on the climbing
behavior will break in future versions of the game.
The final level (so far) in the First Quest, "Shapeshifter" as well as the
"Azulian Tag - Forest" level are large and colorful and may stress test the
game's limits. On 32-bit releases of v0.12.0 the game could crash with an
out of memory error when it reached 4 GB of memory which is more than a
32-bit app can have!
The followup release v0.12.1 makes several optimizations to free up SDL2
textures and more proactively unload level chunks that are not visible on
screen but there is still room for improvement. Try the "F3" debug overlay
feature to see details of memory usage and texture counts. I observed
the Azulian Tag level to use up to 1.8 GB memory which may still be taxing
on low-powered devices like the Pinephone with its 2GB total RAM.
For custom user levels it is recommended to keep them "light" with line art
and avoid large areas filled with color.

### Player is not meant to climb walls
See [above](#player-shouldnt-be-able-to-climb-walls). Currently there is a bug
where the player can climb some vertical walls. Built-in levels avoid the issue
by drawing overhangs at the tops of walls or slant the wall back towards the
player. Do not rely on the ability to climb walls for custom levels - they will
break on a future update.

title: "v0.12.1 Released"
date: 2022-04-16T18:25:39-07:00
draft: false
---
A new version of _Sketchy Maze_ has been released and this one focuses on
improving performance and memory usage of the game. Two of the game's levels
("Azulian Tag - Forest" and "Shapeshifter") were especially taxing on the
game and 32-bit builds could sometimes crash for running out of memory! The
game tries to be much nicer about freeing up memory when not in use and more
proactively loading/unloading level chunks during gameplay.
This release also fixes a long-standing bug where the player character could
"climb" walls to their right. See the full details on the
[change log](https://www.sketchymaze.com/guidebook/changes.html#v0121-april-16-2022)
and [download](/download) the latest version!
