Bawl Physics – Working on updating to 2.0

Controls for each ability have been stripped from each individual ability’s script. It was a terrible idea to put them in there like that anyways. Instead I’ve put the controls into a single script. Each abilities’ state can be changed using “Ability.StartAbility()”, “Ability.StopAbility()” and “Ability.UsingAbility()”. This should make it a bit easier to code for special inputs that aren’t included in the Controls script that I have made such as Touch input.

The Jump and the script that allows for multiple jumps have been consolidated into a single MultiJump script. It allows you to choose how many jumps that the ball is allowed to make whilst in the air. You can also tell it whether or not it should count it as a jump if you have exited collisions and haven’t jumped at all. This is useful for when you’ve rolled off the side of a platform and don’t want the player to double jump anymore, only allow for a single jump.

The Magnet Ball script has been redone. It’ll now use a joint to gravitate it towards static walls/object and dynamic objects rather than AddForce. It will also have a layer mask that you can set so the ball will only magnetize to certain surfaces. If it rolls to the sides of the magnetizable surface while it’s currently on it already, it will try to stay on until you give enough force to get off.

That is all for now!

Here’s a current build of the game. It’s still got some bugs in it but it’s playable so I haven’t built it as a stable release.

Release Notes –

Fixed

  • Projectiles should no longer get stuck
  • Sound is now part of the projectile rather than the player so it won’t cut out completely at a Fire Rate level of 35
  • The player’s HUD is now on a new layer and rendered on the secondary camera so the XP crates won’t clip with them

Added/Changed

  • Player’s trail has been replaced with fire particles
  • Added health upgrade
  • Added an ability that hurts enemies for 1 damage when they touch XP crates
  • Added temporary invincibility upgrade (you are invincible for 2 seconds after being hit)
  • Added a force field around the bounds of the level
  • Added asteroids in the background
  • Added broken ship parts effect after an enemy or the player dies
  • Added video/audio/control options
  • Added an enemy that explodes on contact with the player, doing 2 damage

And possibly more that I’ve forgotten to list…
