First post-jam patch: release v0.2.3 - misc fixes and improvements

This is our first patch on Light Switch since the Global Game Jam 2022. I had prepared an intermediate patch 0.2.2 a while ago but I forgot to release it, so I ended up skipping from 0.2.1 to 0.2.3 directly.

The patch addresses various small issues, improves UI look and adds a small animation to the main menu. It is also the first release with a WebGL build you can play directly in the browser!

To download it, make sure to install from a -postjam channel!

Added

• [Menu] Add animation under title with the two characters moving left and right
• [Menu] Add all level thumbnails
• [Menu] Add Credits to main menu
• [Credits] Add final Credits after last level

Improved

• [Menu] Improve overall layout and UI design to use black and white elements everywhere
• [Camera] Improve camera to match each level’s needs:
  • in small levels, camera has fixed position
  • in big levels extending horizontally or vertically, camera just scrolls in the same direction
  • camera stops at boundaries to avoid showing empty parts of the levels
• [Level] Level 7: removed redundant switches and rearranged switch placements to balance responsibilities between the two players
• [Texture] Reduce texture sizes tremendously. This shows off mainly in Linux build, reducing size from 40 to 28MB.

Fixed

• [Character] Fixed sticky go up/down input causing player to enter/exit door unexpectedly
• [Level] Fix Level 2 and Level 3 door skipping one level instead of leading to next level
• [Level] Level 5: fixed ghost white platform by only enabling collider in dark world
• [Level] Level 6: fixed spike colliders going beyond sprites, causing “ghost” spikes to kill player character
• [Level] Level 6: reduced height of last platforms to allow character to jump on them without wall jump hack
• [Level] Level 7: reduced height of middle platform to allow character to jump back on it without wall jump hack

Known issues

• You can still trigger infinite jump exploit by having your two characters jumping into each other, or one character jumping along a wall in certain conditions
• You can still switch light, causing block to appear and overlap a character, pushing it inside the ground (it can still escape by moving left or right)
